Got to be the biggest scam

Featured Replies

I found this site one day looking for a boat. The deals are way to good to be true. Look at this boat for sale its got to be the biggest scam out there.

www.boatsdepot.org/boat.asp?id=2443

What do you guys think? has anyone seen or heard anything about this site?

I did a quick scan on the web. plenty of posts calling these guys Scam artists. I also did some querying on that boat. found 2007's priced at $30k. There is no way you can legally offer that boat at that price and stay in business.

I mean a new 8 hp mercury 4 stroke motor alone will run you $1,6000-ish.  That motor is a lot bigger than that. The boat alone probably has more than $5,000 worth of raw material in it.

From what I have read online about this and this price I would RUN.

BEWARE................BEWARE....................BEWARE.

it's a scam.  These same guys have been running these boats on ebay before.  Especially the Ranger which I've seen before.  Same MO.  Wire money via western union to the UK.  Most of those got pulled down by ebay before they were up long.  

No way that's legit. The motor is worth WAY more than double that in used condition!

Ive seen that same boat for sale on the Neshville TN craiglists.com for the same price.

Maybe the color of the boat has something to do with it, as in its a LEMON!!!!   ;D ;D ;D ;D

Seriously, though, there is no way that a dealer could sell that boat for that price.  Now a scorned woman getting even with her man?  Maybe!!!! :)

$5,200 for the boat?

Do you think it hit something and had to be repaired?

That seems like a very good deal, if it is true.

New Iberia is just up the road from St. Bernard so maybe you can take a road trip and check it out.

Then, let us know.

Thanks.  :)

The old adage rings true again. "If it sounds too good to be true, it probaly is."   I hate thieves and scammers so much.

X2 fishinfiend - I ran across several of these scams on Ebay & Craigslist when I was looking for a boat.

Ive seen that same boat for sale on the Neshville TN craiglists.com for the same price.

yep, About a week ago I saw the same boat on Pittsburgh craigslist, I thought what a good deal If it wasn't a scam. You do find good deals with banks when they repo them but, not a deal like that
