deals gone wrong

I’m not quite sure why, but Fayetteville seems to be a hot spot for nefarious CL activity.  A few months ago there was a posting from a guy who almost got beat up trying to sell his motorcycle.  Of course he did say he drove down a dirt road to a dead end in an attempt to complete the transaction, so maybe he just really needed to sell his bike.  I also seem to recall that this was where the truck of stolen Maidenform bras ended up being traced to.  Unfortunately (?) I missed the ad selling 200 or so bras for a rock bottom price.

Just to keep things interesting, Fayetteville has once again been home to a bad CL deal.  Apparently some woman managed to scam numerous people by accepting down payments for apartments she didn’t own.  One has to wonder if there was any sort of paperwork involved (unlikely) or if an apartment was even viewed before handing over any deposit.

Well done Laprecia.  I’ll be on the lookout for you the next time I’m in Spring Lake, Greensboro, or Fayetteville.
