I received and email from [email protected] with the name of Alexandria Collins responding to an ad I put on Craiglist. Following is the email but I did not follow thru and did not lose anything.

Thanks for your response, I am sorry I am not available to view due to the nature of my job, I am in the United States Army and serve as a CBRN Specialist (74D). I want to buy this for future use. I am currently deployed wont be back till December. We are not allowed to make or receive calls frequently for security reasons but we have internet access and that is our major means of communication to the outside world. I am OK with your asking price and if you dont mind, I can only pay through PayPal at the moment be cause its the most secure way to make or receive payment online this is why I'll prefer using PayPal to pay you, all I need is your PayPal email to make the payment and if you don't have a PayPal account, its pretty easy to set up at www.paypal.com. I also have a few questions for you.


Whats its condition, any damages? Can I see a few closely taken pictures? Are you the original owner and what is your reason for selling?


I hope you consider my offer. I am ready to buy, so you can take the add off craigslist. I'll have a courier person come for pick up and storage after I make payment and money is in your hand. Thanks for understanding, hope to read from you soon.

  • thank you so much for posting this, you saved me from being scammed. this person and I were just in a conversation about buying something I'm selling and the stupid thing is that this person is using the same email address and this person used the same exact text in the message. The only thing is that this person used the name anthony whitney instead of alexandria collins

  • OMG - I just got one of these responding via text message to a Craigslist ad I posted 2 days ago! Same message, almost word for word. The person, "I am in the United States Army and serve as a CBRN Specialist (74D)", said he "won't be back until Junly" O_O Used phone number 1 213 797 4041 and tole me to set up a Google wallet account at www.Google wallet.com - only the "wallet.com" part is live (might just be an artefact of text messaging).

    I had already said "No" and now I'm glad I did! Cash only, if you don't mind O_O
