I received an email today for two item i was selling on Craigslist. This is what it said:
Thanks for the prompt response to my mail. I will be buying from you
so please kindly withdraw the advert from C. List. Please be informed
that i will be paying with a certified check from my Bank it will be
delivered to you via United Parcel Service (UPS), so I'll need you to
provide me with the following information to facilitate the mailing of
the check...
Name to be on the payment...
Home address...
City...
State...
Zip Code...
Cell phone #...
Item Cost...
I will make arrangements for the pick up as soon as you have your
money I am completely satisfied with the advert and the payment will
be delivered within 24hours I use a hearing impaired phone # and will
receive your calls via email *.. I'm sorry for the late respond to
your email... N. B UPS does not deliver to a P. O box addresses. Thanks
I knew it was a scam because i had received a similar email to a listing a few weeks prior. And when you message them back, They don't respond. Thank goodness I'm smart enough to know better.
