Some people are sketchy

What is the deal with some people on craigslist? No seriously, what is it? Check out this guy's first post on March 7th:

http://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/pts/599164137.html

Now check out his newer one on March 12th:

http://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/pts/604626951.html

I always see ads like this with bad bad english, non-congruent stories, and it looks like they just barely managed to slither online and set a trap to take someones money... maybe i'm just jaded??

He sounds like he speaks Russian as a first language. They're obviously hot. How he got his hands on a 911 brake kit in the first place is the real question.

Don't show up alone with cash... That one has "rob me, beat me" written all over it!

Even foreigners understand the concept of sentence structure and punctuation. What's sad is that there's a semi-real chance that this guy is actually a product of our American educational system.

totally off topic but I posted a used PC for free on CL. Had about 10 people contact me wanting it. No one showed

Posted it again but this time for $100. Had about 40 people contact me and the first showed with cash in hand.

funny and annoying place that site
