Nikon 850 (Page 2): Oh, and I have been in contact with the treasury secretary of Nigeria. Seems a long-lost, in fact unknown to me, elderly relative died and left me small fortune.

Oh, and I have been in contact with the treasury secretary of Nigeria. Seems a long-lost, in fact unknown to me, elderly relative died and left me small fortune. Besides sending them a small processing fee, all I had to do was provide my address, bank and SS info. Of course, I immediately sent everything, including the fee. I can't wait to be rich!!! 👍😁👍

This type of scam, like the phony ads on EBay, Craigslist and others, are prolific. Oh, and the robo calls... 👎👎

Sorry... had to vent!

Craig's List is one to stay away from. Too many bad things happen that are associated with Craig's List.

The first statement is a scam as I don't think there is any camera you can buy with 0 actuations.

Craigslist? Too many problems and scams with Craigslist. If it seems too good to be true....it's too good to be true. Some people are still waiting on lists for an 850. Don't think you're going to get a brand new or used 850 in excellent condition for a grand.

I've got some lovely seaside property just north of Alberqueque I'll be willing to sell you for 10 cents an acre. You can photograph lovely sunsets from the beach with your $1000 D850.

It is an absolute scam! It's on craigslist here too. Besides seeming too good to be true, another way to identify the scam is that the only contact given is a phone number, because when you call it they capture your number and target you for fraudulent calls and since you initiated the original call no one will take a complaint.

Now if you had some Oceanfront Property in Arizona, that would be something. I'll bet people would sing about it,

If the big quake happens on the West coast as predicted, that Property in Arizona just might wind up on the beachfront.

That's a lot of money for a camera. Is he throwing in the Brooklyn Bridge to sweeten the deal?
