Anyone here from Whitecourt ?
Can you confirm there is a 47 Pineview RD there ?
I may have fallen for a boat for sale scam.....

Google Maps shows this location and has a street view picture of the home, so that address exists. As far as the rest of the story it will be for you to sift through, Good Luck.

Thanks guys.
It was a scam. She (?) got me to send 100 bucks to hold it for me.
Now messages do not go through & the ad is gone.

Would be nice if someone from Whitecourt sees this & can stop in at the address & see if they have a boat for sale (or did).... It's about 1.5 Hour drive for me one way.

Was this kijiji ? If so you can look at the seller reviews,if there's none or its a new account or private then those are all red flags.
$100 lesson learned,cheap ,most are a lot more.
And no one is going to put their address on a scam.Probably shes from another city.

My personal first rule is never give them a penny to hold a purchase. When inquiring about a sale item if they mention sending them x$$ its always no thanks if it sells before I can come and buy it oh well...I'm sorry you got ripped off...

When the money is up front.
It’s always a scam. That’s all you need to know.

That sucks. I'm in Fox. If you message me, there's a chance I could check or have a friend in WC take a look.
Haven't seen Lee Aspell (sp?) post in a bit, but I remember he's in WC.

I live in Whitecourt, I'll go check it out. Report back after I pay the address a visit. That's the fancy end of town, I doubt anyone is running a scam out of there but I'll let you know.

If you do knock on the door, it's very likely they'll have no idea what you're talking about.

Find anything out?
Sorry; I was supposed to go today, but had a real big after-nightshift sleep!
Thought we were going to be taking our kid there this afternoon.

Stopped by, knocked and rang the bell. No boat in front or in the back of the yard. Well kept and lots of work done in the back. No answer, didn't hear anything. Got "mature person" vibes from the place.
Fairly certain that it was a random address picked by the scammer.

No problem.
Though it's a little inconclusive. Maybe a boat in the garage, possibly. Kind of doubt there was a boat, at least there. If I'm by next week I'll try to see if I can catch someone at home. But this whole thing with the email response stopping seems like just a scam picking an address to link it to.
I wonder if Keeks ever made it by?
