[Miata] Miata.net Classifieds Scammer Alert [Re: INTERESTED]

[Larry Alster]

This guy isn't even good at this scam.

He says you get to deduct your 225 which isn't even your price and he wants 
you to send the balance to a shipping company he contracted to handle 
shipping an antenna??  Is the guy a moron??  Wow!!!
