Suspicious text from CL ad - Page 2

Just got a couple of pictures from a phone texted to me. They are very blurry...... it looks potentially good.



Going to offer to pick it all up tomorrow afternoon. Not going to happen in the dark.

how about having someone in the truck at least ?

i was trying to sell a aluminum trailer on cl. after i posted my add i went to the wanted section and contacted all the guys that were looking for scrap metal to see if they would be interested in buying, i didnt have any bad intentions, but u can nver be too safe

Be careful! If nothing else take or barrow a big mean dog to go with you. Dogs since if people are bad, and trust me lots of people don't want to mess with a dog. They can out run you! Take the dog to the door and inside also.

Male dogs are the best judge of caricature, in my opion.

Well I will be going tomorrow at noon.

One major new development is that he is apparently a she lol. When I asked her if she was really ok with giving it all away she responded yes but if I wanted to bring her a hot chocolate from tim hortons (biggest canadian coffee chain) she would appreciate it, so I will be doing that.

I'm pretty curious at this point. The pictures looked promising but again were so blurry I couldn't make it out. Not sure if she is a kid or maybe english just isn't her first language.

As I was typing this post she sent me another text saying I can come earlier if I want, she wants it gone as soon as possible.

I appreciate the concern dee but I will be going alone, will be telling a good friend (who has to work unfortunately) of where I am heading and will have him call me while I am there to check in.

And of course I'll update this thread, assuming I make it back alive lol

A she can pull a gun and rob just as easy as a he can. Oh wait your in canada do they have guns up yonder?

Guns, yes, just not nearly as prevalent as in the states.

haha, maybe you're on to something wayne.

Will probably be going a little earlier now, she said anytime 10-12, the earlier the better so she can be free for the whole afternoon.

I remember that post as well KZBell.

All will be revealed tomorrow morning. I'm still going to be rather cautious, better safe than sorry.

Well that was a bust lol

I didn't get robbed but am pretty confident it was just some kids being stupid and having some fun by jerking someone around. At least it wasn't to far so cost me very little in time and gas.

It went down like this.... I show up at agreed upon time, the house number given to me is 67, I see 65 then next to it 69...strange. A few texts back and forth lead to some silly instructions and directions. Sent a text back saying I was leaving and goodbye. The person sent one more saying she was outside where was I, no one was outside on the entire street.

Well, darn. That's too bad tberry. Sorry you had to waste all that time and consternation. Had us all going though !! Did you text em back and ask what to do with all the coffee and donuts ?? Have a good day tberry and better luck next time.

Ive had a few run ins with kids posting ads on cl just to mess with people. promises of free scrap leads to vulger texts or bad addresses. Just part of it i guess. Really pisses me off though.
