I have an ad on Craigslist for some furniture for sale. After researching on Google, it appears this person is trying to scam me since the same verbiage in his e-mail has been used in other e-mails reported on your site.
Here is the e-mail the person sent me in response to my Craigslist ad:
"Thanks, i am a U.S. Navy as a nuclear reactor operator on board the USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71). I am at sea right now so l wont be able to check the item so whats the present condition, because am buying this for my son as a surprise gift so am willing to offer you the amount you required. I can only pay through PayPal at the moment as i don't have access to my bank account online (i don't have internet banking with it), 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 PayPal email address to pay for it, present condition and some pictures of it. But if you don't have a PayPal account yet, you can set one up at www.paypal.com it cant take you less than 3mins to do that, i will be expecting your PayPal email so l can pay. I have a pick up agent that will come for the pick up after payment has been sorted. L will be waiting for your reply asap "
