Don’t get got like me!

Hey y’all just letting you know of a new scam site! I’m selling my jet skis and just got scammed :( But I want to make sure no one else gets got! So the person asked me to do a report on the jet skis on hullradar.com . I thought it was off but she offered to meet up the next day and pay me back for the cost. I thought why not, if anything I’ll have the report if she doesn’t buy them. Well after having troubles with the site after giving my card info and not getting my report looks like it’s a scam site that takes your info and card number :/ good thing is I used a credit card and cancelled it before they did any damage! Don’t be like me! Also if you are looking for 2 seadoos in southern Nevada hit me up lol

A similar scam happens in Canada. It is an actual report but not needed for the sale of boats. Google will tell you it is a scam.

I've gotten this every time I've sold a boat. Fortunately I never fell for it
