Does this seem fake to you?

Hello and thank you for your interest in my pontoon boat. This boat is in excellent working conditions, no scratches, flaws or any kind of damage, slightly used in 100% working and looking conditions and comes with a clear title. I sell at this price because in the past few moths we've tried to develop a family business but unfortunately the things didn't work the way we've expected and now I really need cash because I am at one step from losing my market, so I've decided to sell the boat. The boat is located in Ephraim, UTAH, at the shipping company ready to be sending at your place. We will use a safe payment method because I am affiliated at www.worldwideshippinglines.tk Worldwide Shipping Vehicle Purchase Protection and I have a purchase protection account for $ 10.000. The final price that I want for this boat is $ 5,800 including trailer, shipping and handling.
Please contact me only at e-mail because I don't have a phone number for 2 or 3 weeks.

I emailed this person asking for more photos and where this boat was located...what is above is the reply to my questions. I just find it wierd that someone would say "I need to sell to save my market" Sounds kinda like a foreign scam to me but I don't know. How do I tell if that transportation site is real? Also there is no phone number to contact them either.

Yeah I thought it was too good to be true. That sucks

oooh I didn't even think to check on the company in UT. Funny thing...there isn't "world wide shipping" in all of the state, let alone Ephraim.

Man, I freakin hate scammers. Some poor fool is bound to fall for it.

first off I went to the web site for world wide shipping, and while I don't doubt that they may be legal they also don't list locations or how to find their locations.
So I searched yellow pages, dex online ect ect and while I live here in Utah and have never heard of a company this big in such a small city as Ephraim, UTAH, neither have the phone books.
So I would highly doubt that this person is who they claim to be or that they have a boat. So I would say buyer beware.

You are on the right track, sounds like a scam anytime a "handler" comes into the mix. Save your money and buy a boat local. Too good to be trues usually are, and this sounds like one.

Opportunities of a lifetime usually come around once a month.
Definitely go with your first instinct...it's a scam, for sure.
No possible way to check, no phone, come on, gimme a break as the guy on TV says........

If it sounds too good to be true it usually is.
Let the buyer beware.

This is definitely a scam and should be avoided at all cost.
