I am continously browsing the boats section in Craigslist and sometimes Kijiji as well to see what people are selling. I already have 3 boats and don't need another. But if a great deal comes along, that is a different story. Well I found a great deal on a 2002 Searay, one of those deals that sound too good to be true. I sent the guy an e-mail and this is the response. I live in Vancouver B.C.
Hello,
Thank you for your interest regarding my item ( 2002 Sea Ray 190 Sundeck ). Here are the details that you have to know about this deal. This boat is equipped with the Mercury 5.0 Liter EFI V8 fuel injected engine with 240 horsepower and it has only 439 original hours on it. The boat comes with a Tandem Axel trailer with brakes, winch and wheel jack. It also has power steering, blower, hydraulic trim, horn and navigational lighting. The boat is presenting in very good condition, never involved in accidents, no need for additional repairs. It has always been garage kept. It comes with all the documents needed for registration, it has a clear title and it can be anytime registered into your name without a problem.
The price I want to obtain for it is C $4,200 and if you agree with it we can start to complete the transaction. I realize that is a cheap price for such a product but my special situation makes me do things that I wouldn't do in normal circumstances. Right now I am located in England, Europe. I am trying to make a new life here because my wife wants to be closer to her family. I am selling it only because I need some money urgently.
The boat will be shipped from Quebec, Canada and it will take no more than 5 days to arrive at your door. The shipping fees to your location will be supported by both of us, so the final price that you will have to pay for the unit is C $4,700.
The transaction will be supervised by Kijiji for our own protection.Your funds will be insured by them until you will receive and inspect the boat and I will be sure that I will receive the payment.
If you wish to proceed, please provide me your details (full name and shipping address) so I can start the transaction. They will contact you right after, with all the instructions to follow. Please email me back and let me know what your intentions are. I will appreciate a fast answer from you.
Thank you!
Jason
Sounds like a scam to me. I told the guy that I will be in Quebec next week and would like to take a look at it. See what he says. I thought of playing along with him for a bit, to learn more about the scam, but why bothere.
Have a great day,
Rob.
