Scam!!! Kijiji???

So, why do people do this? Are they hoping that a buyer will send them a big deposit to hold the car (several of them) and then they close up shop and move before getting caught?

Several years ago I corresponded with and drove about 200 miles to meet another FABO member in South Carolina to buy some parts. When I got into the town I discovered it was a non-existent street address that he had given me!
