Now that I have his E-mail address, sign him up for some "spam", porn or just have a little bit of fun e-mailing him back and telling him that I am coming to Utah to pick it up and drive it back to Va. That should get a rise out of him. Guess I need to see where Ephraim , Utah actually is...if it exists. Off to do a search.


And now he has your email address. And to him it's worth money. That's why these guys post these "Too-good-to-be-true" ads, it's all to collect email addresses. Once they have them, they sell them to spammers. If you're stupid enough to send them money, that's icing on the cake. Either way they are making money.

There are usually 3 tell-tale signs to spot these scam ads. 1. The price is too good to be true. 2. Their email address is prominently displayed in the ad. 3. They are vague about their location.

Harrisonburg is not an easy example, but I live in Philadelphia and the scam ads always list their location as simply "Philadelphia" rather than, for example, South Philly, Northeast Philly, Center City, or one of the neighboring suburban towns.
