Scams on Audiogon (McIntosh Amps)

I recently purchased a MC-452 on Audiogon for an amount close to market price... but I have seen this specific ad (link below) pop up now and then, only to disappear agian. Going by the incredibly low price its offered at, I'm guessing this is a scam.

My question is how do these ads make it past the approval stage? I woudl have easily fallen for this since I was looking for this specific amp!

If the ad is here on Agon the scammer has paid to have that ad posted.

Not saying it is right but Agon got theirs.

@stereo5 LOL not at all just it is unusual for a scammer to put a dime into his or her con.

Yep and the guy who comes here on agon and uses his PayPal or CC to pay for a scam ad...is also related to the guy who writes a note that he is robbing a bank on the back of his own deposit slip. 

Not real smart.
