Something funny going on in the jets classified section.

While perusing the jet classifieds just a bit ago noticed that several adds all had replies that were worded like this:

Quote:

hello,
let me know the last price of the item and the condition are you an honest seller?

reply fast....

This reply is from the same person.

I am not selling anything at this time but thought this was some strange behavior and would forewarn everyone just to be careful.

Maybe its nothing but sounds like shenanigans too me.

It's a scam. We see this at work quite often.

I'v had several like this accept even more indepth. You can tell-em a mile off. Scammers. If they have no ratings and just joined within a few weeks I don't even answer them. If it looks legitimate, then I try to find out if anyone in his hometown knows him.
