The Latest Kijiji Lowlife

Boy, I haven't taken the time for Kijiji lately. That's too bad. It had that "small town classified ads" feeling to it for so long...

it's usually a '69 camaro listed for about 5-6 grand that's easily worth much more.
f'in lowlifes.

Report 'em. I do as often as I can, this BS is ruining the site. Well, along with all the lowballers, no brainers.....

We had about 10 bogus ads on the wpg kijiji for the past few days. Typical "69 camaro for 5 grand", or "70 cuda for 65 hundered", you know they are worth quadruple that. I emailed kijiji on a dozen or so ads and told them to get there act together.

they all disapeared this morning.

A few weeks ago I replied to an ad on Kijiji.....only to have a good friend tell me be very careful.....It was a 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air for 10,000 Mint...I thought something was fishy......I was sent a return message with a virus in it. I reported it to Kijiji staff....This has been an ongoing problem for awhile now. They say they can't track the individual down....only delete ads when notified.
Like you said....what a shame to ruin such a positive helpful site.
You would think with technology there could be some way to catch these low lifes!

If the ad looks bogus, or too cheap just report it, don't reply. I've heard of people getting tons 'o spam if they reply.

Ya I don't know what the heck those guys on Kijiji are doing all day...do they not see these adds pop up..do they not know they are scams? They need to do a better job.....time to send them some mail.

I've never understood the use of viruses. Does someone have too much time on their hands?

Ya I had seen that one on kijiji before too, and then I know the other people used to list the done up, cheap cars like the 69 camaro, or the $8000 restored challenger. And then you email them and they want you to send them money and they ship the car out to you, ya okay.

The ad i saw was for a 68 Cuda fastback for $4000. That was a couple weeks back. I thought it was fishy...pardon the pun...when it disappeared and reappeared all over the place. It was the same story, widow selling car.

There is always someone out there trying to cash in on the unsuspecting victim to (un) earn the almighty fast buck!!!! When caught, treat them with the same respect as the victim.....NONE!!!! This pic came to mind when I read this thread..........

Thats nothing-I get it the other way-I post a legit ad on kijiji, a guy asks for detailed photos and tons of "honest" description questions about a $2500 project car, then confirms he's coming to see it, stalls for week, then asks for directions from his house to mine, then tells me he'll be here at 1:30 the next day-I'm working a twelve hour midnight shift so I get up early (4 hours sleep) to get everything ready to show him only to find an e-mail that he'll have to reschedule do to his mother being "sick" I never hear from him again and somebody from this web site tells me he's scared to travel to see the car and find it not to be worth the money ! Hope his mother is OK !
