Craigslist scam - paypal payment. He wrote via a craigslist posting I had using this contact email: [email protected]... Chieun Lee. When I responded it was sent to [email protected].
In the email he said he wanted to buy it for his son sight unseen and that he will have a company come for it, but insisted that it had to be transacted through paypal and gave me directions to give him my paypal info. I read this page online http://answers. Yahoo.com/question/index? Qid=20110417094049AAZQxhY
to confirm my suspicions that this was a scam and found another report of this email address here on this site.
Here is the exact email text from [email protected]:
Thanks for your response, I am quite okay with your price, I need you to understand that i am willing and ready to purchase it right away, put it off the AD site, consider me as your favorite buyer, and Please note that i have a shipper/mover who handles my shipping arrangement anywhere in the world, she would be coming for the pickup, after you have received payment, which would be through PayPal, If this is acceptable, advice soon as i am a Sailor and i am buying this for my son as a surprise gift, So kindly get back to me with the present condition of it and also some pictures of it, I can only pay through PayPal at the moment as i do not have access to my bank account online, but i have it attached to my PayPal account, and this is why i insisted on using PayPal to pay, all i will need is your pay pal email address to make the payments and some pictures if you do not have a PayPal account yet, its pretty easy to set one up at www.paypal.com, i will be expecting your email. I have a pick up agent that will come for the pick up after payments has been sorted.
