Is this ad for real?

[deamsphelps]

I don't know if this ad is for real but if it is, it's a steal. It was in the Baltimore Cragislist yesterday, now in Washington.

2007 Ford F250 4x4 Crew Cab King-Ranch

I highly doubt it's real. E-mail him and see what he says.

I dont think so, I'm pretty sure I saw that advertised in KC.

[ford fanatic]

No...it's been on CL for at least six months that I know of. I would flag it every day when I was looking for trucks.

Added leather seats? That should have been the first clue!

[WarChild]

Lol, I saw that too. Saying its a king ranch and I added leather seats...

[Aretoo]

No it is not for real. That truck is currently for sale in Cincinnatti and Indy area also. That same truck was also for sale in Deccenber around here for $7000 and at that point it did not have king ranch seats in it. Sorry to disappoint, I looked at it also and thought it would be a nice truck to have!

[deamsphelps]

My buddy sent it to me. I know King Ranch comes with distinctive leather seats so there is nothing to add. So what is the purpose of someone posting an add like this? There is a gasser 2005 F150 Lariat 4x4 with 87k super clean for $4000 too. That might be fake as well.

[JSchuricht]

The purpose is usually to get you to send them or a broker money while you wait for them to ship the truck to you. Don't do it.

Yesterday they arrested a Russian stewardess in Toronto who is awaiting extradition hearings to be held to be transfered to the US to face multi million dollar fraud charges for that exact same type of listing. E-bay, Auto Trader and Craigslist are the internet sites that were used to bilk 4.2 million dollars from unsuspecting buyers. "BEWARE"
