We have received several emails from this person offering to buy sight unseen a high dollar item we advertised on craig's list. The wording on the emails seemed as though this person may not have English as his first language, or maybe he is not highly educated. I just thought I would see if there was a report on him, because the whole thing seemed very suspicious and sure enough already 4 complaints listed. These are the emails we have received. I am guessing they are trying to get personal info on you.
1. Email:
Thank for your mail. I'm satisfied with the condition of it as
advertised in the listing, i will like to add $100 to your final price
for you to keep off from all offer, and consider it sold to me alone as
i am serious with this. I will like you to know that i am really
interested in buying this for my father, payment will be through PayPal
and the pick up will be arranged by me as i will have my agent come
down to pick it up... I will be waiting to hear from you, and i will
like you to send me the name and email address on the PayPal account
to send the payment and send me more pics of this item if available
since it will not be seen in person so i can pay it right away I am a
busy at work and do not have much time around me. Make sure you get
back to me so that we can arrange for pick up as i will like the item
to be picked at your residence, so no shipping
Thanks and reply asap.
Regards

address and the name on it so i can go ahead and send the payment and
then we can proceed
