We are going to play a little game . . .

I will post up emails from people who respond to my Clist ad on the Highlander, and you have to vote "Scammmer" or "Legit" as to the inquiry.

Whoever has the highest correct answers wins a beer.

I will keep a running total here.

List by response:

Naomi - No response after my follow-up
vinod - No response after my follow-up
Gary - No response after my follow-up


List by correct answer:

"My name is Naomi. im interested in the 2008 Toyota Highlander you posted online. Has it been kept in a garage or on the street for most of its life? Also would it be fine if I have my mechanic look for potential issues? Are you available this coming Friday to show the vehicle? Thank you for your time Naomi"

100% SCAMMER
 
I think Naomi is a professional scammer, but as she is in need of a solid commuter to get to and from the scammer office, she's making a legit inquiry.
 
Definitely Legit.
 
Scam.webp
 
I say legit. Scammer will never indicate they're coming to look at it or talk about a time. They go right for the buy.

But that s*** is comedy gold. I'm still smiling.
 
No response yet from Naomi. I assumed she was a scammer, but I sent the following back to her:

Hi Naomi. Thanks for your note. Let me answer your questions:
1. It was garage kept for almost all of its life. It has been in the shade of trees in a designated parking space for the last year.
2. You are welcome to have your mechanic look at it - or perhaps have Toyota inspect it.
3. I am available this coming Friday, but I will not be able to "hold" the car until that time if someone else has interest.

Thank you,

Jamie​
 
Naomi hasn't responded because the internet is slow in Nigeria and she is buying a lot of things. Give her a break! Her uncle is the minister of transportation and is building a fleet of trucks just like yours.

Vinod is real, and hopefully you will accept the offer. He will give you an additional bonus by agreeing to a certified check and for the trouble of meeting with his car transportater, since he can't get away from his busy life as a software cybermancer in Delhi.
 
i'm going with izzy - i bet your spot on.
