Bargain Finder - Edmonton Sled Scams

[OverBore]

I was looking at used sled prices on the Edmonton Bargain Finders online listings and found most look like a scam in the 2006 - 2009 Sled section.

Looks like it is time to start playing with these idiots and waste their time.

Here is an example:

Hello,

My unit is in great shape,no engine problems,clear title,damages or
hidden defects.It was always garaged and the price is CAD $2,700.

I`m a single mother with 2 children because i divorced with my husband and after the divorce i own this unit, i don`t need it and that`s why i`m selling it so cheap.

My unit is at the shipping company in Fort McMurray,Alberta.
I will use eBay`s protection program for our safety because I am affiliated there with a
protection account of $20000.I will send you the unit and you have 5 days inspection
period,before you decide to buy it.If for any reason you reject the unit I will pay the
shipping back to my location.
Here is how it will work:
1. First of all I will need the following details from you:
- Full Name
- Full Shipping Address
- Phone number

P.S. Please don`t forget to send me your info!


Best Regards !
Johanna Paz

I see lots of these, I always answer them and say that I live just down the road from them and they always come back with, well it is in holding already with a shipping company or that the sled is in another province/city. I always play with them to bug. enjoy...

This is clearly a scam, who would pay $6500 for a ski-poo? On the other hand who would pay $3100 for an Apex?

These scams are everywhere. Remember if it sounds to good to be true it probably is. Hold on to your money.

Thanks for the heads-up. I got the same reply. Said I would meet them and then they wouldn't have to worry about "all" the potential buyers. Weird no reply yet.:d Thanks again.

I reported it to BUYSELL and ebay. I spoke with a rep at ebay and they are aware of the ads as well. Hope they get the losers.
