So my husband posted an ad for Craigslist to sell his boat and I recevied this email from Chien Lee. He first asked if it was for sale, I said yes and gave him my number by accident and then my husbands number to call if he had questions. He responded with this:
Thanks for the reply, 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 the item, and 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
My husband was suspicious of a scam but I thought, "no way"... So we emailed him back giving him my husbands email and phone number. After the fact, my husband decided to Google him and came across this site. Now we are terrified of what could happen. Has anything to anyone who has given him their name/phone number?
Sure feeling like a fool right about now.
