I agree. That was a lame attempt to defraud. I mean
what kind of an idiot would pay $15,000 without first making
arrangements
to view the sub in person and see the title and
papers on it? But then again...it only takes one foolish person.
Kindest Regards,

That's really a shame. It seems that if these
businesses would be more aggressive about tracking down and prosecuting
these cretins, fraud and attempted fraud wouldn't be so
rampant.
So... this "papahound25" had no submarine, no nothin' -- just
a picture of your submarine and an eBay account, and was going to see if
he could get somebody to send him a check? That sounds like an awfully
blatant, transparent, amateurish fraud. Not-so-sneaky.
People
really annoy me.
