Yup, that's the one. I asked the crook "I noticed that your trailer is no longer on Craigs list. Is there a problem?" and haven't received any answer. Just for fun (slow night) I went to the "shipping" web site. My fraud detection software wouldn't allow me in.
How could anybody be dumb enough to fall for this scam? There are so many glaring holes in the deal.

It's really sad. I don't think it's necessarily people who are "dumb" but they are certainly not Internet-savvy. My father-in-law is a smart guy, but he's just lost when it comes to his computer. Watching him browse the Web is nearly painful. He clicks on EVERY single thing that you or I would know to NEVER click on. And I could see how he could get scammed by something like this.
All I can say is that if it sounds too good to be true, it probably isn't. Internet savvy has nothing to do with seeing a trailer listed for a tenth of its value.
Seems like we've seen these pictures before . . . . like the shipping comments left over from real account owner about $2.00 insurance per item . . . .
I contacted the real owner to inform that their account was possibly hijacked.
