This guy offer me a lot more than what I asked on Craigslist for my item. He sent me a fake PayPal confirmation payment to send my item to Nigeria and When I called PayPal Customer Service they told me They Don't have business in Nigeria. It's a Scammer. Be careful guys.
I got an email from shawndavid1119@gmail.com as well for my laptop. He wanted me to delete the ad from Craigslist. I told him i could not because i do not have payment but I knew it was a scammer because of sending money by PayPal. I am just having fun with he scammer LOL.
ReplyDeleteI had one from john benard chocolatesmiles10@gmail.com telling me he was gonna send me a cerified check i said sure do it, he asked for my info ... i sent the address and phone number to my local fbi field office :D

Here are two more email addresses for these idiots. They contacted me regarding a Craigslist item and tried the same route as they did with Chris: 12/7/11.
ReplyDeletejonard007@gmail.com and eryben7@gmail.com
John Benard my foot.
I got some silly emails from this guy too, asking if i had received the money he sent with no follow up. I also found this decryption id for his email address: 695678bbb84d1f6f46b70a5ea8faad7
DeleteThank you for posting this. I just received a scam email from shawndavid1119@gmail.com and could quickly identify it as a scam by googling the address and seeing this page. Thanks again!
ReplyDeleteHOLY *#^$! Thank you all who have posted this info. I was getting very close to "doing business" with a Barbara James at the shawndavid1119@gmail.com address! Whewwwww! I would have been out a $1,500 item! I have also just been receiving msgs from a frankylyman203@gmail.com who wanted me to pull my ad asap and he was going to send me a money order overnight shipping. He wanted my address and all now but I told him that I would not pass any info until I received confirmation from a PayPal payment ONLY and that IIIII received the confirmation from my own account, not a copy that he was presenting as proof! WATCH OUT EVERYONE, THE SHARKS ARE OUT THERE AND THEY'RE HUNGRY!!!!!
ReplyDeleteOne more hint for SCAMS that I have just become privy to...two contacts, coincidently, are both involved with charities at this time and are unable to meet or call in person because they are away from a phone or out of the country!!! What are the chances?! This is my first time EVER trying to sell something online...Ebay, Craigslist, etc...and I have been hit twice. And they are the ONLY two people to show interest also! BE VERY CAREFUL IF YOU'RE NOT EXPERIENCED! I feel very fortunate now!!
ReplyDeleteThanks,Webbsmith tried to get me.Went as far as to send an invoice from PP.Hope that didn't affect me.If you have time give me your input on that.
ReplyDeletetried it on me too->

Thanks for writing back...but I'm sorry I won't be able to come see it
anymore, embarking on a 4 weeks radio therapy trip tomorrow morning,
was gonna be coming to your town that got changed but I still want it
anyways,getting it for my cousin's upcoming birthday.I will offer you
$200 so as to remove the item from Craigslist as soon as possible.I
will be paying through PAYPAL because i have a verified account with
PayPal.So kindly get back with your PayPal email address so i can make
payment into your PayPal account.Once payment clears,shipment will be
handled by me through my personal (USPS registered mail),so you don't
have to pay for shipment.Get back to me if my approval is
granted.................

My general rule of thumb is to check the name of the sender to the e-mail address. If it doesn't makes sense, then it's probably a scam.

Reply to ad on Craigslist....
You gotta read it...(below)
Mrs Charley doesn’t seem to realize that we're talking about an 80ft boat weighing 55 tons. I guess she intends to Fedex it to her cousin as a birthday surprise. That sure would be a surprise if it turned up on her cousins doorstep. “Sign here please” Ha! Ha!
And “ I really need this” of course, everybody needs an 80ft boat.... like a hole in the head! Ha! Ha! Ha!
Oh! and its in Florida not California....
He/she really needs to read the ads more carefully...
I'll send my information immediately...
Ha! Ha! Ha! still laughing.
"Thanks for writing back...but I'm sorry I won't be able to come see it anymore, embarking on a 4 weeks radio therapy trip to CA tomorrow morning, was gonna be coming to your town that got changed but I still want it anyways,getting it for my cousin's upcoming birthday.If you could sell it to me when I get to CA, I will mail you a bank official check to cover the cost and
also add funds to cover the shipping to where it will be needed.I'll arrange for a shipper/mover to handle the pick up and delivery so it doesn't stress you. I really need this, quite important and urgent. I will be more than glad if it can be sold to me. Email me back with a name,address and your phone number for the check.
write back soon.
Thank you.
Mrs Charley"
