Can't go wrong with that deal, I love it when strangers pass the savings onto me! Oh, you mean you'll take as little as $180 for it? This can't be anything but legit! Should I wait to go home to see the merchandise? I don't see why not! God, the stupidity of some people... |
For the most part, scams similar to this work so well because people know they're not legitimate; the problem is that people make the wrong assumptions about what is wrong with the deal. While few people (probably) would admit it, I suspect that most people who fall for this scam believe that they're buying something that was stolen.
