I have had about four of these offers. Just opened a fresh checking account to see if the check(s) ever clear. We shall see. I posted this on Scream and Fly, another guy over there is trying to sell a go-fast with the same type of responses. I am not quite desperate to sell the boat but it would be nice. The legit guys have a hard time getting financing or are too far away. One guy had 10% down, good debt to income ratio and a 680 credit score only to be turned down by the bank. Another had cash but the freight to get the boat to his house was $1700, haven't heard back from him.
With the internet it isn't hard to see if the buyer is real. Smurff Gary, yeah I know I should know better just by looking at the name, gave me an adress in PA. Turned out to be the residence of a Pentacostal Reverend. Then the check comes from Ft. Lauderdale, FL. and the shipper is from Indiana. The person from Ft. Lauderdale turns out to be a 67 yr old retired CPA. They have started to use real people but I still fail to understand how they plan on getting one over on me. Maybe if I sent them the cash. That isn't gonna happen.
