I've been reading about many of you that are having issues with a scammer that goes by the name "Michael Smith with the e-mail address [email protected]". I'm trying to sell my entire comic book collections on craigslist and though I thought this person was buyer. As I recived the e-mails too many "red flags" were popping up. Then I found (usacomplaints.com) and recived more information. Here is what I've figured out so far. "LG" is Luke Greg, he is using a term from the movie the matrix as in "Agent Smith"... That he'll have his "Agent" meet you and Michael "Smith", cleaver. He is also using a second e-mail "[email protected]" which is the first e-mail that he contacted me with.
And, this is how the e-mail have gone and stopped.
"Hello, please i will like to buy this and i will like to know if is still for sale???"
"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"
"I just want to know more about it to make sure its in good condition
so can you assure me i will not be disappointed??? And also, I need to
inform you about this, just received an email from my pick agent... Am
most sure i did not include that in my previous email, They said they
won't come for the pick up unless i pay him the agent commission fee
first in order to be able to schedule a pick up time. I am a Chief
Engineer as my position on the sea here, I am so busy and can not pay
the agent fees from here as they Requested that i pay them with
Western Union. So what i will do here is that i will send the payment
in the total amount of $14,600. So once you receive the confirmation of
the payment from PayPal, you will deduct the promised amount for the
good which is $12,600 and the remaining $2,000 will be send down to my
agent By Western Union. I have tried to paid it direct here but there
is no Western Union on the ship and am not here with my credit card to
do it online, So i believe you can handle this for me.
Get back to me so that i can go ahead and send the payment now"
I'm thinking about taking all this information to my local police, fbi or something.
What do you think?
