Scamers at it again

With the population of the world, these characters probably do find the odd sucker. Otherwise there wouldn't be so many at it. Some people just can't resist a deal.

That's EXACTLY right, Keith. Case in point: ATVs had started turning up missing for the last year or so here in south central Missouri, from dealerships, private owners, etc...well, about a month ago, a couple of individuals from here in town had some ATVs for sale, CHEAP...most of them were '03-'05 models, but they were all dirt cheap. Well, of course some of the folks around here caught on to the fact that there HAD to be a catch, but others saw an opportunity to get in on one of those "too good to be true" type deals. Naturally, the crime ring got snagged, and ALL of the ATVs got confiscated and given back to their rightful owners...the folks that had recently bought them at bargain prices were now out the thousands(s) they'd paid for them. The funny thing is that it not only happened to some poor old hillbilly farmer looking for a good deal (he bought 2!) but also the owner of our local bank who MORE than knew better bought one and then got it confiscated as well!

If it's too good to be true, well, you know the rest...
