Is this scammer on this board?

I guess I was dumb enough to bite, now just getting a bunch of smart-assed emails. Just thought that someone with an email address like his might be here or someone know him/heard of him.

Ad said the car was in Saratoga Ca.

just ask for the VIN. Everything else is arbitrary & opinion based. Just my $0.02

What kind of e-mails are you getting from him?

Crap like "just sold it 9m 14s ago", name calling, and I stupidly gave my cell # last night which he says "is an address to many". Asked for the VIN, he's never even confirmed he had a car. Ad is spelled like someone on crack, then his email is spelled correctly. I flagged the ad and forwarded a scam/harassment report to Craigslist, along with the emails. I learned my lesson, too good to be true.....

Sounds like a punk with nothing to do...
