Patty Lazzarini craiglist scam "selling" LV purse

Around Feb. my mother found a craigslist ad for a Louis Vuitton perforated speedy 30. She was "charging" $375, which seemed too incredibly cheap, in hindsight. When we contacted her about the purse, she said she had the authenticity card and receipt. We thought that would be proof enough this was a legit offer.

So let this be a lesson to all of you: Scam artists are criminals and they WILL say whatever they need to in order to fool you into believing everything is okay.
Don't always believe a person if they say they have proof.

We sent our money via money order, which is our fault because Craigslist tells you never to do that! We just had a naive sense of trust in the other person. We never expected to be scammed by "Patty"! She then told us she sent the purse via USPS and even included the "tracking number". Well after waiting a week, we realized the package probably wasn't going to be coming and that we had been scammed.

I tried Reverse Lookup on Whitepages and found the names of the people living at the address she had given me. Turns out there is NO Patty Lazzarini... At least not living at the address. There is however a Louis D. Lazzarini and Lydia Lazzarini. Someone should tell them the next time they try scamming people, they should use a different address!

Here are some of the emails she sent to us.

Hi,
I can overnite you the bag tonite via UPS if you can
overntie me the money order today. I am at work right
now and I can't call you... But I will be checking my
email. I have your address. I will send it on my
lunch break as soon as you confirm that you can send
the money out as overnite mail today so that we both
receive the money and the bag the same day (tomorrow).
I am going to send it as certified mil and email you
the tracking number right after I send it. Can you do
the same and mail the money order to me as certified
and email me the tracking number as well?

Here is my info:
P. Lazzarini

Hi T*,
Sorry I havent called you... I am extremely busy with
work and I have been helping my mother move into a
new apartment all of this week. I texted you the tracking number to your cell phone I
thought it was... Here is the tracking again. They
said that the overnite shipping was not guaranteed
when I sent it since it got sent at 6PM. They said
it would have had to be sent by 5PM... So I am guessing
you didn't get it yet. Lol.
Here is the tracking number again:
USPS eq185268558us

Hi,
Yes I did send it overnite but they said it wouldnt
reach overnite to Friday...
I couldnt track your envelop either when i tried
to... Maybe thats how overnite things are? Also I am
not able to cash that money order right away... They
said I have to deposit it and wait for it to
clear... Do you know why that is? If it is a money
order, shouldnt i be able to cash it?
Another thing is maybe you can call the post office
because i am not sure if they overnite packages on the
weekend?
