This guy scent an email about a trailer we're trying to sell on craigslist. This first initial email just seemed as if he was either a) uneducated b) didn't know how to type or c) spoke a different language. The second email set of warning bells for sure! Here's what it said:
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, also send me your mobile number where you can be
easily reach 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
After that I googled "Mr. Smith" and found he was a scammer. His name isn't really Michael Smith and he doesn't care about our trailer. So sad what this world has come to.
