Got a call from a neighbor of my vacant property yesterday. Guys have been entering it (it has a locked gate) and nosing around saying it's for sale. Neighbor said "no, it's not". They said it was posted on CL. She put a sign on the gate for me saying "Not for sale". I checked CL and found the ad: http://detroit.craigslist.org/wyn/bar/4725665422.html
The "lot" outlined in red on the satellite view is across the street from my place, claims to be 5 acres. The outlined area actually is another neighbor's house that sits on 13 acres and is NOT for sale (AFAIK) The "street view" picture IS of my place. Neighbor called the phone # in the ad and they claimed the sale was a foreclosure and some "charity" was selling it or some BS.
My question: what could possibly be the objective of this scam? Someone put some effort into creating the ad, grabbing info off of google, etc. with no way to make any money that I can figure. No one in their right mind would hand over $12,500 OR a car (as they suggest) for real estate without a title search, closing at a lawyer's office, etc. Only think I can figure is they're phishing for email addresses or phone numbers in replies.
(PS, I DID flag the ad for "fraud"). Anyone had any experience similar to this?

It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
