I posted a listing on Craigslist in Ohio and I was given a short response in the beginning just showing interest from [email protected]
I then responded to that email that the items where indeed available and then I got an odd, full of red flags email on the same email thread from Paul Daniel from [email protected] (Which I will post below, because when I searched scam book with the name and email it seems that the "scammer" doesn't change anything up. He uses the same email over and over to try to get you!)
In the email he was asking for personal information through emails. He was not going to be the one to pick up the items; his "personal assistant" would be. From the cashiers check he would be sending me, I was to take out the payment for the shippers. He was offering $50 to the price if I removed the ad.
Thanks to ScamBook I was not scammed by this person, and I want to make sure no one else is scammed as well!
*This is the LONG, odd email I received from Paul Daniel from [email protected]*
"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 hope this helps to stop this scammer and save someone else from getting scammed!!
