Paul Daniel emailed me using [email protected] regarding a treadmill I have listed on craigslist.

I listed on the post - LOCAL ONLY/CASH ONLY so that was the first question I asked when I recieved his email.

It might be real - but odds are, it is all part of a scam. I felt compelled to share this so that other are aware of these scams.

I like craigslist - but hate that people like this are trying to scam hard working people.

Watch out for "Paul" and others like "him"

Email from "Paul"

Hi,

Thanks for getting back to me. I am Paul Daniel by name and am okay with the price and conditions of the item. So i am a Foot Baller and i play for the Southend United Football Club in Epsom, England and i will so much want to purchase the item from you and will also let my Assistant who also reside in the U.S. A handle the payment to you.

Also, i am going to add $50 to the price for taking down the advert from Craigslist. I will need the following information from you for my Personal assistant to issue out the payment to you immediately as i am very busy to handle things and we are on Regular Season Week 15 Schedule so the payment will be made inform of Cashier's Check and i will need you to get back to me with Your Full name as it will be on the check and your Physical Address (NO PO BOX ADDRESS) also your phone number will be needed for the payment to be made. So My shipper will be the one to come and pick up the item from your home immediately after the payment has been made to you. And the payment for the Shipper will be included in the check coming to you for the item and you are only to deduct your price for the item and send the rest to the shipper so they can come over to get the item picked up to be delivered to me on time and the payment will be made inform of a Cashier's Check and would also like to know if you understand this perfectly just get back to me with the full information required for the payment to be made. I really appreciate you wanting to sell the item to me and kindly take down the advert from Craigslist and if you have any additional pictures of the item, kindly attached with your response so i will be waiting to hear from you later today..

Respectfully

Paul Daniel..

I responded with - Thanks but no thanks - Local only, cash only!

Hope this helps!
