Craigslist Scam
Complaint 212167 Details

This person lists $220 for united airline credit card or Hawaiian airline or southwest airline credit card. There is phone number listed, (707) 416-7863 when you call, it alwasy goes to the voice mail. this person only texts you back if you want to buy it. First the person said she/he wants "moneygram" to do the transaction, if you denied, then ask if you have paypal account. The person instructed you how to do the paypal such as choose "personal" and subject to "gift card." etc. Unfortunately, this person knows that paypal excludes to cover any intangible items such as credit card, so the person wins, Until I send the money by paypal, the person keeps texing you if you pay and the person will tell you that she/he will let you know the credit card number by 8pm. Of course you don't hear from the person at all. I contacted paypal to see if I can dispute, so paypal contacted the seller and the seller responded to paypal that she/he emailed the information. Never received. My husband also texed the phone number to see if he can buy it. Of course same senario, asking him to send money asap. The phone number has a few advertisement thru craigslist.
