$400:eek: Some one grab it......
 
Scam? This is why I am always fearful of sending $$$ when I do not see the machine.

Never got any reply. Ad is still up. Maybe someone is having fun seeing all the replies?
 
I think it's actually the third time I've seen that same image in a Kijiji ad, all in Calgary.

Probably etransfer scam - they use an image of an actual product sold years ago and post attractive price. When 100 people contact them they "fish" telling victim that someone else is close by and they need to "hold" their spot with etransfer payment. Once they have the $ they are gone.

This is why you see the *same* image.

They may even go as far as creating 100s of Kajiji accounts, aging them, posting small fake ads to create history to "cover" any suspicions. And then BOOM, they strike. For someone in Pakistan $400 CAD is 1/3 of college admission fee & 1st year fee.
