They should be hung by their "short & curlies" and whipped with a timing chain and serpentine belt.

I saw this same Bronco with same photos/price posted on Craigslist outside of Milwaukee. This is the 4th time I've seen a Bronco posted for a price that looked suspicious, and after some digging found it posted in multiple locations around the country.

So what do these scammers do, take photos from a legit Bronco posted for sale somewhere like eBay, and then make new posts on Craigslist using the photos and see who bites? Since they actually don't have the vehicle, I wonder how the scammers make any money? Maybe they convince a sucker to send cash as down payment or to hold the vehicle, then disappear?

Here is the phone number if you want to play around

(724) 381-4375

They have different seats though, different lights, maybe different trucks? Ebay looks legit as its a guy with hundreds of sales

Both the Bismarck and San Fran craigslist ads have the same phone # and it is a southwest Pennsylvania (Pittsburgh area) exchange. Now, that could be a cell phone number and the person kept it and moved, but they likely don't live in Bismarck, South Dakota and San Francisco at the same time, right?

I think the game plays something like - "I inherited the truck from my father in law / ex husband..I just need it gone...I've had a lot of interest I'm surprised....if you want it for sure I guess you can give a deposit and I can hold it for you..."

I sent email to ebay sale telling him his photos have probably been hacked and scam sale going on.

Anyone seen this scam before? Here's another scam out of Wichita. These guys sent pics and vid. When I ordered an inspection, they told me it was sold. Saw it on CL in CA, contacted them via a diff phone no. and they told me it was for sale. LOL. The CL ad is now pulled. Anyone recognize this Bronco ?

I've seen that picture of a Bronco several times, but I can't remember where. I often do multiple Craigslist searches for different areas around Kentucky.

The Craigslist scams should be winding down as Craigslist now charges $5.00 for all auto listings . Not quite as fun when you have to pay for it !
