• Trawler Forum Classified Posting Guidelines
    • We expect ads placed to be related to the topic of this forum.
    • Ads that are inactive for 180 days or longer may be moved to the Classified Archive and locked. Ads may be relisted if the item is still current. Alternatively, owners may contact a Moderator to reinstate an archived ad.
    • The Classified section is for advertising, members are asked to refrain from posting discussions to a Classified Ad. Please start a discussion thread or PM the owner for discussions.
    • Do not hijack another member's ad by posting unsolicited commentary. Example: if a member has posted an ad offering an anchor for sale, don't add a post to his thread stating that you have an anchor you'd like to get rid of also. Posts deemed as unsolicited commentary may be removed.
    • For your own security, do NOT include your e-mail or phone number in your ad. Instead request that interested parties contact you via PM (private message) to provide owners contact info.
    • Brokers, Dealers, or those with a commercial interest in a sale are prohibited from posting in Classifieds.
    • Only Trawler Forum Commercial Members may post ads in the Commercial section. You must be a designated Commercial Member to start threads in this section of the forum. (Contact a moderator if you have questions about this)
    • Don't post links to commercial sites where you are also offering the boat, such as eBay, Craigslist or Yachtworld, etc. unless it contains a more in-depth description, additional information or pictures.
    • Place only one ad per item (you may repost only when your ad has expired and been removed).
    For Sale ads MUST include:
    • Asking price
    • Location
    • A Basic Description
    • Clear statement whether you are the owner or non-owner (posting for friend, relative, or acquaintance)
    • Don't forget to select: FOR SALE, WANTED or FREE in the Title block.
    All ads should also include ALL the following:
    • Pertinent maintenance and condition information
    • Exterior picture or pictures
    • Interior picture or pictures (boats)
    For maximum impact & exposure, it is suggested the Ad Title include: Year, Manufacturer, Model, Length, Price, and Location or at the very top of the ad body. When your item has sold or the ad is no longer relevant: Please post a Reply to the ad that the item is SOLD or click "Report Post" on post 1 of the thread to ask a moderator to archive the ad. Ads may be moved or removed by our staff at any time for any reason. All ads must comply with site rules. Thanks for your cooperation.
  • Avoid Scams.

    Our classifieds are free and anyone registered here is welcome to post an ad.
    Be aware that there are unscrupulous folks out there. Avoid any interaction that seems odd to you or �feels� wrong. Inquiries from unknown buyers, buyers �agents� and other non-traditional approaches should be treated with extreme caution.

    Beware of unsolicited contacts offering to put you in touch with someone else who is buying or selling via e-mail or text.

    Do not post your e-mail address or phone number in a classifieds ad.

    Hints that you may be dealing with a Scammer:
    • Seller or Buyer approaches you via a direct email or PM and then steers you to an off-site communication method (text or email).
    • No posts or very few forum posts.
    • Recent forum membership
    • Insists on conducting negotiations via email or text rather than PM
    • Requires payment via Bank Transfer, BitCoin/CryptoCurrency, WesternUnion or other unsecured method.
    • Buyer or Seller suggests Paypal "Friends and Family" payment. Paypal is a good way to arrange payment but an invoice for goods and services should be used rather than "Friends and Family". "Friends and Family" avoids fees BUT there is no recourse if the transaction runs aground. Friends and Family is for gifts only. There is no protection for Friends and Family transactions, so never ever use it to buy something.
    • Declines to allow viewing the item before proceeding with the transaction.

Congrats!!! Looks like the economy is indeed roaring back. Time to list my perpetual motion machine! :dance:
 
I sold that guy a bridge in Brooklyn but he never had his shippers pick it up.
 
He and his ilk frequent, Craigslist also.

What`s so odd about buying a boat for 449K without inspecting it? :rolleyes: Wonder what he would have done with the info had you responded, or was it the "overpayment/use it to pay the shipping" scam? I had similar multiple experiences, they never phone, it`s always text/SMS or email. Nearly made me list with a broker to avoid the crooks.

Absolutely a scam. I have received similarly constructed responses to ads I have placed on Craigslist a number of times. I always respond with one word, a@@hole. Mysteriously, I never get a response.
 
I respond to the scammers with a request to close escrow through my law firm. I never hear back after that.

These scammers must do pretty thorough searches because the only two places that I have mentioned selling the boat are here in TF and the Southeast Nordic Tug Owners Association. It is not on Craig's List, ebay or listed with a broker.

But, I guess if you're sitting at your computer all day eating Cheetos and looking for someone to scam you will occasionally get more than orange stains on your privates. :whistling:

Valid email address confirmed. Check.
 
Phase 1 of a phish. You can read how it works with a google search. Common
 
Lucky me. I sold it again today. It was a little different than the first time which sent the below message the first time. This go around I got an email for this guy saying he saw it in the Nordic Tug Owner's Association and simply ask for the current location and if the price had changed. I responded because it looked legit. Then today in comes this:

How are you doing today? I appreciate your immediate response back to me, I am glad to let you know that I'm purchasing it ASAP
It will be shipped to my Location at ( Wakefield, Kansas ) though I am currently out of the States and wouldn't be back till the end of April, but that would not stop our transaction.

There was a web site for a guy somewhere way back that would play along with these guys and get them to send him $25 or $50, telling them he had to fedex some paperwork or something. Thinking they had a big fish, they would send these small amounts via paypal. Then he would tell them nevermind.

When I was looking at the time he was up a few thousand dollars in total from a bunch of different scammers.

So I doubt that many sales happen. Are they in the business of selling valid email addresses to Internet advertisers?

How does a phisher make money if no one falls for their offer and lets them have access to bank accounts, etc?
 
I had the same deal a few years ago when I was as trying to sell my sailboat . I told one guy to just put the cash in a 5 gallon bucket , seal it off and FedX it . Another guy told me he was a lottery winner and he had a couple of girl friends in my area and he just bought a Porsche and he would be in area in a couple days checking on his “bunnies “. He also said he was a diver and wanted to dive under my boat to check out the bottom and if he saw blisters the deal was off . I guess he musta found some blisters !

I could be wrong but I think phase 2 is building trust, if no pertinent info is given the scammer will move on..Its a process and the scammer is probably working hundreds if not thousands of addresses during a day...
 
Starts with something vague, idle chat about the boat, compliments about the boat etc. There is a big reluctance to phone you,they SMS/text, or email via the website you are using. I had someone ask me to phone him,I thought, why doesn`t he phone me if he wants info, so I didn`t, and no follow up ever happened. One guy I actually phoned using a service which does not send my number,someone did answer, but his later contact attempts were still SMS.
I suppose you could miss someone genuine who accidentally fits the pattern and gets ignored, but it is unlikely. After a while the pattern and patter was obvious, sometimes I think it was the same scammer trying again with a different name.
A sale contract could require settlement at your bank, with a bank(?certified or cashier`s in USA) cheque drawn on one of 4 nominated banks(our big 4 banks), that way no giving out a/c numbers. I`d insist on a contract, not just payment,to regulate the deal, but I guess long before that they are gone if they are a scammer.
 
I finally got the dinghy down for a picture and a run. Fast!
