You can bet the "toys" aren't included. If that's the case the add is deceptive.

That is a scam ad that has been running for a while. Some of the other Jeep forums have better information on it. AVOID!!!

| Craigslist is a good place to go look, but lots of scams on all types of popular vehicles. Google Wallet Scam is one I'm familiar with. Everything was too good to be true. If you can't go lay your hand on it before paying, and look at it, back away! John |

There is a beautiful '52 M38A1 on Ebay in Illinois right now for 8800.00. Read the payment terms. Seller only takes a wire transfer. No cash, no postal sent payment, no bank checks or money orders and the wire transfer must be left for 7 to 10 days before they will release the vehicle?????????????? Smells like a scam to me. not to mention and immediate payment by paypal of 1500.00 and 7 days to make the wire transfer.  |

Wire transfers cost a lot more than a simple PayPal or other. Even a personal check which can be verified from bank to bank or a cashiers check which is guaranteed but costs buyer a fee. Crazy these scams!
