Received an email in response to furniture ad posted on Craigslist. First email asked if it was in good condition. Second email offered to buy it sight unseen via Paypal and have a moving company pick it up. Seemed too good to be true so I Googled the email and found a scam report with identical story. Also noticed her email address changed once during the communication. Simply want to post this to protect others. No money was lost. Her email is below:
Alright, Your asking price is quite reasonable and affordable considering others I've seen lately, So i'll buy take it. The payment will be made via PayPal for the safety of both. I Dont have access to cash. Am at work here out of the states. So i will like to have your PayPal email address where the funds will be sent. And also the
address where it will be picked up because am arranging for a pick up with a local moving company. And i'll need it to get home before me.
So as soon as the funds is sent, they will come for the pick up.
Please write me back today.
Thanks.
