Stephen I need to talk to you I have requested your phone # and I’m awaiting it, I need to talk to you and at which time I will give you another email address, I need to talk to you before making the payment.

i would prefer to call you when i must give you the shipping details. i have had a bad experience about a week ago with a person that pretended to be a real buyer and now is calling me day and night . I hope you can understand me , I will only call a real buyer.

Stephen Dodita is who he claims he is and is trying to sell a $30,000 vending trailer for $4600. Craigslist ad in Richmond Virginia under business opportunities is how I stumbled into this criminal. Big red flag when advertising at such a distance and then refers me to Ebay. I have figured out he is a scam though continuing a correspondence via email to entertain myself. He is directing me to use ebay to send the money and has failed to provide phone or credentials of any kind. He needs to be castrated and force fed his own genitals. He refuses to provide a phone though I found this venue searching for the name he uses "stephen dodita".

yeah, he just about got me today too. same info - little red wagon for sale for $4600. I even searched the web and found several pages referencing "Guy's Diner" which made it even more credible. It would have worked except that the Ebay invoice was sent from a gmail address. That's when I realized I'd been had.

Also, the listing was in the kansas city area Craig's list, but the trailer was in Washington. Beware.

Same ad showed up in Portland's Craigslist:
http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/bfs/2103974202.html

Stupid parasites drifting through life contributing nothing to humanity...always be cautious with any online purchases peeps...

Oh ... I just ran into Steve (calls himself Michael Delan now), craigslist ad for the same trailer $4800 now.  listing for chicago , trailer in Boise, ID ... even got the scam ebay emails too ,,,, got the whole speel .. same listing details as mentioned before ... money problems, need fast transaction ..bluh, bluh, bluh ....

This guy almost got me too. I was just about to max out my credit cards to get him the $2500 he needs right now. Glad I checked first. This was great deal. Thought that my prayers were answered. Thanks for posting the scam. Death to Guy's Diner!!

Craigslist scammer that will try to get you to send money to an address located in San Antonio, Texas.  DO NOT SEND MONEY!  This is not a legitimate seller, even if he claims to use Ebay buyer protection.

Its a scam....the concession trailer scam, for $2750.....a Mark Trevorr from Bethesda MD and a Matt Hopper from San Antonio....funny thing is,  the street address they sent me for each one of these azz-holes,  is a real address...I live in Texas,  wonder if I should pay Mr. Hopper a visit there is San Antonio???  ;o)

Glad I read this, thought it was to good to be true. Strang how it was listed on craigs list only for a few hours and then pulled. I also saw it listed 4 months ago on craigs list in the Cleveland, Ohio area, Doing some back research I found a e-mail adress from the one 4 months ago with a matthomas@hotmail.com. Here is a email sent to me yesterday buy the most resent post on craigs list, Cleveland, OH.

Saw his post on Craigs List Maryland  Sept.6,2011 told me the same story $2850. for trailer told him great I live close enough to pick it up.and won't use e-bay if he has a clear title I'll bring money.
Haven't heard back from him!! Wonder why.

I cannot believe any of you people would even fall for something [***] obvious as this. No wonder this country is in the toilet, it's jammed full of utterly stupid people!!!!!!!!!!!

I responded to the Craigslist ad in MONTREAL CANADA and here is the reply I got from this scammer:

Hi there, thanks for e-mailing me. My name is Mark Trevor and I would like to inform you about the location of the vehicle Bethesda, MD. The trailer is still available and it's in excellent shape inside-out, no accidents, always garage kept, no mechanical problems, dings, dents or scratches. There are no liens or loans on the trailer,clean title and it has the health dept. certified in any state. I'm selling the trailer below the market price because it's the only asset I have that can be turned fast into cash to pay off the mortgage as soon as possible. My brother is a DAS shipping company employee and he can deliver the trailer at no costs for me everywhere in the US.

The transaction will be managed by eBay, so everything will go smooth. You will receive the trailer for inspection before you make any payment to me. If you want me to reserve the trailer for you i need your full name and full shipping address and ebay will contact you shortly with all the information you need.

Final Price $2,850.00 (shipping included)

All the best to you and your family,

Mark Trevor
