    Yes....I'm sure we've all made stupid mistakes in our lives. Got a little too anxious and pulled the trigger too soon without exhausting all research options ! Paid for it dearly ! Gonna put it out of my mind...already looking for another.

    A lot of people dont know this. But it has been posted many places. Any money deals that someone is making with a unknown buyer or seller. Can meet at the city, county or other Police station. You can use any open area in lot to look over a boat, car or any other buy/sell transaction. Walk inside the lobby write up bill of sale and exchange funds. Most have a sign outside that simply states "safe place" Staff does not stick their nose into your deal. Staff is not going to help you with your paperwork. Just a place that has some protection in and around the building if a someone goes into thug mode. That is a unlikely situation. Once you bring up the meeting at police station plan. A would be robber will be a know show.

    I went 6 states across USA..... out of my area. Had a buddy drive his truck was a better tow. Old car that was for sale. The guy I went with had ? maybe 6 lead inserters .... he said you don't know who you are dealing with. He was right. He was crazyer than me or the seller. Sorry about your loss. I would look while the trail is still warm.

    The other guy that got scammed out of Florida for 20 grand has been working these people since last October he's got a lot of people involved FBI CIA subpoenas for bank accounts and important New York City officials. I'm going to have the police talked directly with him he can give them a good rundown on how these people operate

    The other emotion with buys like this that we get sucked into - We as buyers are afraid to ask to many questions on a public forum before the sale, because we dont want others to see the GREAT deal we have found, so better to keep it under the radar. Just sayin...............sorry for your experience, hope you get something out of the schit deal

    I know......its horrible
    You do everything you can to vet these people and it's never enough. It's hard for me to trust anyone anymore.
    This country has gone to **** with thiefs....if they used half their talents on a legit occupation, they would be millionaires.
    Oh well..... a $16,000 lesson !
