Angry boat scam

Please be advised that the website boatsdepot.org is one scam.
Go on the internet and look for boatsdpot.org scam and read the forums.

Ben.

Agree with Cardac Paul. What makes it a scam? Why would you direct us to a site that you claim is a scam on your very first post to Sailnet?

I like scam, but prefer spam...with eggs, not the one with tits on it...

but like tits....without spam...

one day I got a spam asking me to "click here if you want a bigger di*k"...I clicked and clicked and cicked....my di*k didn't get bigger....that was a scam...

They want to sell you a "bigger" boat for $50,000 US - but all you will get is scammed.

Actually, the site really is a scam. I'm amazed that people will buy a boat, sight unseen, on the internet from strangers at prices well below market (50%) and are then surprised to have been bilked. As the saying goes "You can't cheat an honest man"

Here's a thread of some poor soul who got scammed : Printer friendly copy of thread. This one leads to other threads.
