Check out this Stephen King SCAM

[Machine's Way]

Found this little scam when cruising my local Craigslist ads. Now out of full disclosure, I will say I am not 100% its a scam but it sure does seem like one to me. Thought I would share and see what my fellow SKMB members thought of this.

Since MsMod is on vacation, might want to bring this to the attention of Moderators for verification.

Oh I sent a message, asking for titles, prices ect.

So far no response.

I don't see any moderators on at the moment, maybe since you are more familiar with everyone on here you can bring it to the right persons attention. I just hate scammers, and especially a scammer trying to take advantage of King fans!!

Exactly!! Has scam written all over it!!

I've added alerts for Moderator and Jordan to take a look. (Marsha won't be back until the 13th.) It is possible that it's legitimate but I have no way of knowing--Marsha or Jordan may be able to find out though.

Yes you are correct it could be "possible" but it certainly has red flags all over it.

Also still no response to my enquiry.

...Scam Scum!...

Without seeing photos, there's no way to say whether or not the signatures appear real. My guess is that they're not authentic.

 

[not_nadine]

When you find out that it is a scam, I would post my own alert about him or her. You would not have to leave your contact info.

If there's a doubt, then there is no doubt. Scam.
