Re: [Scam] Craigslist Scam? I've seen that kind of scam email many times.
always starts with improper grammar- "I will like to know......"
then gives you a long winded story.
Most definitely nigeria. I bet the originating IP address is from there.

If you want to have some fun, screw with the guy, and don't ship anything. Send him a fake shipping label on a fake box, and get his hopes up. Get his paypal payment, though I doubt he will send anything. Then wait for paypal to reverse the payment and open a chargeback case. Then have paypal blacklist the stolen bank account the guy used.
Just because a payment clears paypal doesn't mean paypal can't take it back.
I am 200% sure he's a scammer. |

Better yet, if he pays with paypal, scam the scammer by setting up a new bank account, transferring the money as soon as it clears, and withdraw it, and then close the account. Its not fraud, and actually send him a box with a label on it, and take a pic of it. When he opens the chargeback case, you have photo proof that you sent the box, so, then its in UPSs hands, and they are out money. I always fuck with them just because. Got asked to ship a couch cross country once, had him believing I did, and when he tried to charge it back, i had already notified paypal of the scam he was attempting, and i got to keep the balance because his paypal was closed before he could issue the chargeback. scammers gettin told every day by smart people. |
