Watch out I have been looking for a fishing boat on Kijiji and other local listings and I have come across a couple of boats that seemed to be too good to be true. Lunds, Crestliners, Tracker boats that should be selling for $14,000 are being sold for $3200. Some responses say that they are women who have recently been divorced etc and have the boats in storage with a shipping company. they will initiate a transaction thru Ebays secure buyer protection and get all your info and in three days you get your boat below I have pasted what the responses look like. Remember these are two different sellers but notice the similarities Hi there, First of all I want to thank you for your interest for my boat. I am selling it at this price ( CAD $3100) because I just finished the divorce with my husband. Now the divorce is final and i own this boat. Now as a woman i don't need it. This boat is in excellent working condition, no scratches, flaws or any kind of damage, slightly used in 100% working and looking conditions and comes with a clear title, 3 months transferable warranty. From the beginning you have to know that for the payment I request only secure pay, I prefer the payment to be done using eBay services. We will use a safe payment method because I am affiliated at eBay and I have a purchase protection account for $20,000. The final price that I want for this boat is $3100 CAD including shipping and handling. If you are interested please let me know. Then she followed up with All that you have to pay is CAD$2800 including shipping and handling. The boat is located in Saint John,NB at a shipping and storage company. The sale will be managed through eBay under their Vehicle Purchase Protection Program since they offer the highest rate of safety and reliability during online transactions.Here is how it works : - you give me your full name and shipping address - I start a transaction with eBay, - they send you the payment instructions, - you send the money into eBay trust account, - they confirm me that the payment was received, - I ship the boat, - you receive the boat in 3 days, - they send me the money. The payment type will be establish by eBay after start the transaction. They will hold the money until the boat is delivered to you, with properly executed title. You have 5 days for the inspection period. If the boat is not like described you will have to ship it back in 30 business days on my expense, but I am sure that you will love it. In order to move forward I will need the following info from you so I can set up a new transaction case through eBay: 1. full name 2. shipping address Should you find that the boat is not as I've described it, you can return it to me on my expense. NO QUESTIONS ASKED. Let me know if you are still interested. 2.The boat is in Washington,DC Here is how it works if you have never used eBay. You send me your full name and your shipping address so I can initiate the transaction.eBay contacts you with further details regarding the payment and shipping process.You submit the payment to eBay, eBay confirms the payment and asks me to release the shipment.I ship the boat which should be at your door within 5 business days.You have a 3 days inspection period before you confirm the deal and eBay forwards the payment to me or you cancel the deal and you get your money back and return the boat free of charge. Basicly eBay holds your money safe until you confirm that the boat is what you have been expected and you want to buy it. It is not a sight unseen deal. On the other hand I can ship the boat knowing eBay has your money and you won't dissapear with my boat. We are both covered.Sorry for the long emails I have tried to touch all bases. I have contacted Ebay and made them aware of the problem Please beware, the scammers are finding new ways to try to grab your cash
