How are these BS scams supposed to work?

Is this the painting in Canada? $100 for duties and shipping for $1500 is cheap.

Don’t send them your Social Security Number, your mother’s maiden name or your first pet’s name.

If you think it is a scam it probably is a scam.

It’s not a painting, I’m selling a computer and they replied to the ad (via text) with this.

Just tell them to do an e-transfer before you ship. If they’re not serious, that will make them go away.

Don’t use Kijii or alibaba. Use ebay. And paypal.

@trailsillustrated ebay probably wouldn’t work fantastically for just selling some cheap ish lenovo desktops

@trailsillustrated Kijiji is ebay.

Ah. Thank you. If your’e selling cheap lenovo how about Gumtree. I always thought kijiji sucks major smell ass.

@trailsillustrated Well it can, I use it to advertise my pc repair service and it pays the bills so its alright.I’ll check out gumtree

edit: well, guess not its london based not canada

I thought they had Gumtree everywhere, sorry, guess that would be craigslist.

I would actually say that Kijiji has a much better rep in Canada than Craigslist now. But for all of these services, you have no reason to trust people unless you’re meeting them in person or they pay up front.
