I received this identical scam from a Lisa Bennett using the email: from Craigslist:
IT IS WORD FOR WORD, same as other scams listed!
"Hi, I'm interested in buying this unit, and I'd like to know if its still available for sale? Like how long have you been using it? Is it new? Is it still in good condition? What's your reason for selling it? The reason am asking you all this there are lot of bad one's out there and don't want to be stuck with something in bad condition. Can you provide me more pictures of it? Finally what's your last price? I await to read back from you. Regards"
And when I replied with more questions because I was concerned that this was NOT legit and had many RED FLAGS, I got another email that is WORD FOR WORD, same as another scam reported from a "Juliet" in someone elses report.
"Thank you very much for the details. So Sad im buying this for myself (im an handicapped and i need it to move myself), for this reason, I will not be able to come and see it and i would have call but due to the nature of my health i can speak loader so am not using phone, but I will take your word that its in good condition. Just to let you know that you will not be responsible for shipping and handling. I have made an arrangement with a shipping company That will come to your location for pick up. Kindly provide me your full name and address, so i can forward it to the shipping company to calculate the pick up cost for me. Please get back to me as soon as possible. Regards"
I have NO IDEA what they are trying to get away with, but I DID NOT REPLY again.
