Craigslist Scams
A couple of weeks ago, I think it was stu that posted that she had listed a car for sale on Craigs List and got a hokey response. I've been over on another board today and stumbled onto this:
------------------------------
So, I listed our pottery barn sofa on craigslist for $200. I got an email from a guy about it like 5 minutes after I posted it. I told him that I'd send him a text pic of the couch if he wanted to see it before driving over. Here is his response:
Hello,
Thanks for the prompt response and i will like you to withdraw the advert from Craigslist,i don't mind adding an extra $20 for you to take the advert down from craigslist so that i can be rest assured that am in hand of the item.I don't have time to come take a look. I will be paying via cashier's check,you don't need to bother your self with the shipment Ok,i will take care of that.So i will need you to provide me with the following information to facilitate the mailing of the check.
1.Your full name
2.Your mailing address
3.Your phone number.
I will have my mover come over as soon as you have the check
------------------------------------
That post was followed by this one and we were all correct when we told you not to do it - as stu suspected anyhow. The link has a lot of interesting info on it.
-----------------------------------------------
Aha, I knew it was a guy trying to scam me. It sounded too weird. Good thing I didn't even repond:
Re: Craigslist Scams
Scammers are everywhere anymore unfortuneatly...
I have certain red flags for Craig's List:
-want to pay by cashier's check
-does not want to see the item or wants a courier to pick it up
-wants you to take more $ than you're asking and return the balance to them
-spelling mistakes or over explaining things for no reason
-for jobs: they want all of your contact info again (fill out the list provided)
