Most of the scam hot deals on CL are folks just trying to harvest email and phone numbers.

Literally hundreds of such car deals every day and in every state, with the same car being listed everywhere even over the border!

I used to see a Gmail.com contact addy on almost all such ads a couple of years back.

Also they used a random-mispell generator so the same ad wouldn't be auto-flagged for being posted to every city. All of the vehicles looked new and shiny and featured luxury wheels (and in a luxury setting).

Dang it. Wish I had this advice earlier. I gave the seller my birthdate, SSN and credit card #. He said that he would ship this morning but I am getting worried now...
