Try responding to the personnel section of Craigslist where your trying to hook up for sex.

Now you will see some stuff, lol

Well, tested the waters. There is no email reply for this ad, only a phone number. Area code is Minnesota. Called and got voice mail. Left a message. Will see what happens. Most scams only have an email to reply to.

Saw this earlier today. First 883 I know of that has a moonroof, Dolby, dual power heated seats, ABS, ES, etc. Somebody got their scams mixed up.

Wonder if there is a way to screw with these scammers and give them a taste of their own medicine!
