I placed an ad on craigslist and she responded:

From: "[email protected]" <[email protected]>
>> To: [email protected]
>> Sent: Friday, February 1, 2013 7:28 AM
>> Subject: ANTIQUE OAK SIDEBOARD -BUFFET W/MIRROR - $700
>>
>> Still available & your asking price.
>>
>> Sent from my LG Smartphone on Sprint

I replied:
Yes it is still available, I am asking $700 or reasonable offer.
>>
>> Thank You for your interest.

Then I received the following from an e-mail:
I so much appreciate your response to my earlier mail. I wish to let

HER RESPONSE:
Thank you so much. I have forwarded the address to the shipping
company so they can calculate the pick up and delivery cost for me to
make the payment. I'm sure they will contact you soon. I would like
you to know that the payment will be made via PayPal because is fast
and secured to send and received money online, All you have to send me
is your paypal email address so I can make the payment immediately.

Hope to hear back from you asap.

I responded with my paypal address. Then I decided it sounded to good to be true and tried to search her e-mail address and found she has done this to several others.

  • I think she should be contacted by the authorities and have the crap scared out of her before she actually defrauds someone. Her IP address is 74.125.227.117
