I received an email this morning in response to a craigslist ad I have posted and only replied after doing a google search for the name. The name did not return any hits, but it turns out it is in fact someone running a PayPal scam.

—Response #1: I told the individual at jennifyrose08@fastmail. Fm that is was still available, only AFTER googling the name/email address.
Email #2:
Hello,
Thanks for the swift response, I am still willing to purchase the Jewelry from you cause i need a present gift to my Colleague for their forthcoming wedding ceremony which is around the corner. My mode of payment would be via Paypal. You can read more about it at www.paypal.com, So if you feel you are okay with PayPal kindly get back to me with your paypal name and email address and Jewelry amount so as to make payment.
I am going to Add additional $38 to cover the shipping cost via Express Mail Service OF USPS at the Post Office to my friend place in order for it to be delivered to my Colleague or the mail station in 3-5days
Thanks
Did you still have this item for sales
