scammers on trade-a-plane?

[wheaties]

I swear I see a new listing using pictures from Airmart, Skywagons or Indy daily. They only stay up a day before they're taken down. Sometimes they use the same numbers from the stolen ad, sometimes they make things up. Has there just been more of these lately or am I just more in tune to how off the prices they're asking are.

For instance, see this http://airmart.com/aircraft-for-sale/173/piper/n62sb-1981-piper-dakota/n62sb and this https://www.trade-a-plane.com/searc...del=DAKOTA&listing_id=2379694&s-type=aircraft

Folks that have been in aviation for many years might remember Barron Thomas. There were many odd things on how he ran his business including one of his more infamous tactics was always redacting the tail number in his photos

A quick google found this old thread: https://www.pilotsofamerica.com/community/threads/verdict-against-barron-thomas.58039/

I had put a rotax 582 on craigslist in western colorado a couple years back. I changed my mind and decided to have it overhauled and kept it. A few months later I got a call from a guy in California asking if I still had it for sale. He had seen an ad on Trade A plane for it. But, I have never put an ad on Trade A Plane, for anything.
