Not Lucasville NS. I've seen this come up before on ads posted from elsewhere.

Click the link and a map of Carignan Que comes up. Postal Code given as H0H0H0. Suspicious.

Ad posted in Toronto locale, poster listed as location, Toronto.

Poster has same name as noted infectious disease doctor.....

My scam detector is warming up.

Nice pictures of a Super 7 though.

D :cool:

Really nice looking machine though.

But as always, if it's too good to be true - it prolly isn't.
 
I wonder whatever the scammer is hoping you send an e-transfer to him for some deposit for this deal. Then he is gone.

Machine is worth well over $5000 in AB.

Yeah. As it should be!

To good to be true, usually isn't true!

I'd bet that picture would turn up in a bunch of places, on an Image Search!
 
Yes reporting it was the right thing to do, I did not think of that and I am not familiar with the process....I'll educate myself on that.

I guess why the scammer was insisting on getting my email address was because they knew the kijiji ad and messaging would get pulled sooner or later.

Yes, that's my assumption too.

That is likely, but who knows what else they might be up to. Scamming machine sales is small potatoes compared to all the other evil possibilities.
 
A couple things in the pictures are ringing a bell in my memory...

The cut soft jaws on the lathe bed, but mostly, I swear I have seen the set of chisels hanging on the rack a the tailstock end before, somewhere.

As I see it (and with nothing buy a guess on my part) the scam is essentially a low return one, with pretty low effort needed. Post something too good to pass up, take a E-transferred deposit, vanish, rinse, repeat.

For a while it was Compact Utility Tractors that were the main target product.

Reality is, the Police are not likely to actually do anything to follow it up, even IF the guy that got ripped off, bothers to report it.
