I placed an ad on craigslist and she responded:
From: "tarver. [email protected]"
To: cbkcv-3583900409@sale. Craigslist.org
Sent: Friday, February 1 7:28 AM
Subject: ANTIQUE OAK SIDEBOARD -BUFFET W/MIRROR - $700
Still available & your asking price.
Sent from my LG Smartphone on Sprint
I replied:
Yes it is still available, I am asking $700 or reasonable offer.
Thank You for your interest.
Then I received the following from an e-mail:
I so much appreciate your response to my earlier mail. I wish to let
you know that I'm satisfied with the condition. Like I said there's no
doubt I'm gonna purchase it. Therefore I want you to consider it sold
by withdrawing the advert from Craigslist. Note that you will not be
responsible for shipping and handling. My shipping company will come
to your location for pick up. Kindly provide me your name and full
address, so i can forward it to the shipping company to calculate the
cost of pick up for me. Please get back to me as soon as possible.
Regards.
MY REPLY:
I appreciate your interest, however, for me to remove the ad I would require
a deposit of at least half, I have a paypal account you could send the money
that way. I will "hold" it for 2 days before considering any other
inquiries. Upon receipt of the notice from paypal I will remove the ad.
You would be shipping it from Rumson Road, Rochester, NY 14616
Please advise if this is acceptable for you. I guarantee it is in mint
condition.
If you wish you may contact me at #-#-#.
Thank you again for your inquiry.
HER RESPONSE:
Thank you so much. I have forwarded the address to the shipping
company so they can calculate the pick up and delivery cost for me to
make the payment. I'm sure they will contact you soon. I would like
you to know that the payment will be made via PayPal because is fast
and secured to send and received money online, All you have to send me
is your paypal email address so I can make the payment immediately.
Hope to hear back from you asap.
I responded with my paypal address. Then I decided it sounded to good to be true and tried to search her e-mail address and found she has done this to several others.
