Official scam thread

With all of the scams out there and seeing one this afternoon, I figured I'd start a thread for people so that they can watch out for these listings where scammers are trying to get others personal or financial information. I've seen this same boat posted multiple times and it was even offered for sale last summer by a company called Atlantic Pro for I think $38k? It sold, so this one is a scam. Here's a picture of it from before, not the best, but it was the only one that I could find.

Found this on Craigslist when looking at boats today, definitely a scam with regards to the price, the year of the boat, only two pictures and especially when they want your phone number right away.
