Western Union used to be the scammers choice down here …I know of one old dear, now sadly passed, who lost a lot of money through that.

Want your item. My wife will pick up later today but I’ll pay via scammy method. What is your scammy method ID?

I loved messing with these people.
“Oh that 3 year old car for $2,200? I’d love to buy it? What’s that? You have to ship it from Michigan? What a coincidence! My brother lives in Michigan! He can go pick it up and save us both the time and costs of shipping :) What’s that? It’s locked up in a storage lot? Oh that’s no trouble at all. I’ll have my brother go down there and pressure them to let it go :)”
Just one excuse after another until they’d eventually stop replying. About the only way I could get some fun out of the frustration when just trying to browse for a decent car.
