After a few weeks with various items listed on CL, it's pretty obvious which emails are legit. I hate the ones that ask if the item is still available, but leave no valid contact info. When i'm interested in an item, i leave the seller my phone # so they can quickly get in touch.

I was (still am) selling a wheel, had a guy call up and negotiate a price. He shows up and asks where the other 3 were??!@#? I told him the ad was for one. He says no. The ad showed 4 or 5 pics. I said yes, they were of the same wheel showing different angles! Draw your own conclusion.

Glad you didn't fall victim Of the infamous CL scam that has been going on for years. They all originate in Nigeria. Be safe.

yeah they also say they'll set you up with there agent.
