Electronics and household app.
I listed an item on craigslist! I recieved multipul emails from people wanting to purchase my "item" ASAP through PAYPAL! I agreed to sell it to one who wanted it shipped and gave me an address of a University in Nigeria. I later recieved an email from Mrs. Mary in Miama and Gannet in Dallas. All wanting to purchase immediatly. They all used bad english! I was asked to ship through USPS International Mail and NOT UPS as UPS and FedX ask for phone numbers.
As I caught on I ask for a number and they gave a fake 13 digit number. As i responded again, they became enragged and answered in all caps to send it USPS with out and phone number. When you use Paypal, you can call to verify the tranaction. The scammer emails from: "waterscot@gmail.com on behalf of service@paypal.com (paypalcustomerfund@mail2consultant.com) " CALL PAYPAL and if you get a scam email from PAYPAL send it to spoof@paypal.com! Do not get caught!!! I almost lost hundreds of dollars!!! Beware!!!
