I just sent this to the gmail address:
Hi, I'm interested in the Willys, especially for details on the heated seats and steering wheel- can you tell me more about it?
Thanks!
I now have like 90 photos of this thing but they still won't tell me about the heated steering wheel
I can't believe that this scam even works anymore. You'd think they'd try something new at this point.

Do any of the photos include the power leather seats?

Good stuff looking to see more. I kept a "Microsoft tech" scammer on the phone last night for 38 minutes. I would guess that's probably 10 people that they weren't able to bother.
I kept telling him that Riyaz had help me out earlier in the day and fixed my issues. And that I had to get a gift card and give the number to Riyaz. At one point they even transferred me to a guy that said his name was Riyaz. It seems I got to him also telling him he didn't sound like the same Riyaz that I spoke with her earlier. He eventually transferred me back to another tech who was going to help me.
Apparently in today's world it's still profitable to run scams via both these methods and they will continue until it's not.
In reply to EvanB:
No, and I'm just not going to send the money until I see the switches and how they're adjusted, dammit!
They just sent the text from this eBay listing, which I found by searching it: still no heated seats!

I'm actually surprised you've gotten more of a response than a form asking for all your information as a "buyer checkout".
In reply to RevRico:
They know they have to keep leading you in so you get into "sunk cost fallacy" territory
I've tried getting more typed (and therefore amusing) responses by asking about the weather at Elmendorf AFB and whether I can drive it home, but I may have lost them.

First ad in "Heavy Equipment" on my local CL:

Same deal. I WISH I could get a 2007 mini excavator for that much. Every other ad is a scam around here. I think they must assume we are all hill billy's and are easy to scam 'cause we ain't to savvy on them interwebs.
Excellent. I love screwing with the ones that call and say "your windows computer has a virus, please go to this website to fix it." I'll lead them on for as long as possible before saying "oh E36 M3 I only have Apple products in my house" or "Bogwandi did a great job helping me solve my virus issues yesterday, give him a raise!"
The local CL has had several UTVs listed for ridiculously low prices.
Ugh. I got a robocall today saying that if I didn't call them back I'd get subpoenaed for tax fraud.
It's back, with a more accurate description this time:

In reply to Pete Gossett:
Holy E36 M3, scroll down!

They didn't include any pictures of the TV. Is it in the Jeep? Do you park the whole thing in a playroom?
