fraudulent listings

FYI - to anyone looking on OIB for boats, there is some d-bag that keeps posting boats using a stolen card. So, if you see a boat that sounds too good to be true, it probably is. I can't stand scammer jerk offs.

I saw a lot of fake listings last summer when I was looking for my boat. It was annoying, because occasionally I would find some really awesome deals that were legit but would hesitant about them and the boat would sell before I got to it.. I don't get how they make any money off fake listings. People are really stupid enough to send money for boats sight unseen from shady people who typically don't have a firm grasp of spelling, grammar, etc. and do not want to give a phone number or address?

Words to live by whether no matter what it is.

Not just OnlyInboards. This guy jerked me around just long enough to lose another boat deal I was working on. Malibu had no record of the HIN even though he had given me a Boat History report. I checked with Malibu because something didn't seem right (not just the low price) Long story, but it's been reported. Boattrader: http://www.boattrader.com/listing/20...3-LSV-98167094
