I received an odd email response to my post on Craigslist for a Vitamix. It is literally the same wording as the other complaints on this site:
"
Thanks for the response. My assistant told me your item is still for
sale on craiglist, i am on a business trip and wouldn't want to lose it
to someone else I am willing to pay your asking price. I will pay by
money order as its the only way i can pay you at the moment. I will
make arrangement for the pick-up after payment have been received by
you. I dont mind adding an extra thirty dollars {$30} so you can keep
it in my favor. Reply with your full name, cell phone number, and address
where payment should be sent. Please take the posting off craigslist today
and consider it sold to me. Expecting to hear from you soon.
Regards".
The original response this scammer made was from his "personal assistant" at this email address:
massassist massassist asking if it was still for sale.
Thank you for having this site I found thru google to be able to discern this scam!
