I received this email after trying to coordinate a purchase on craigslist in Denver. It was easy to find it a ripoff because they used the exact same email with other reports, Jason Ramsey.
Hello,
As mentioned in my previous message, the product is located into Cooperative Yard Sales custody and i intend to close the transaction through their Third Party Agency. Using this type of Agency will give you the chance to inspect the product before I receive the payment for it. I will explain to you step by step how this will work:
The website to this service is www.cooperativeyardsales.Co.cc
A. First of all and most important, if you agree to close the deal, you will have to send me your shipping information (your full name and address / contact phone number and if available also a fax number).
1. After I receive your shipping information, I will contact Cooperative Yard Sales and make the shipping reservation onto your name and with your shipping address as the intended receiver of the product.
B. You will receive a notification from Cooperative Yard Sales as a confirmation that the product is in their custody.
1. After that, you will have to send the payment to Cooperative Yard Sales.
2. Cooperative Yard Sales will verify the Transfer, and if everything is in order, they will deliver the product to your door step. The payment is sent to
Cooperative Yard Sales Agency and not to me directly. The payment will be forwarded to me only after you receive the product and confirm that you accept it.
3. After you will receive the product and you will be completely satisfied with it, you will instruct Cooperative Yard Sales with your decision.
C. If by any reason, you will not be satisfied with the product, you will return it to Cooperative Yard Sales with no expense. (i will support all the returning taxes)
The product will come with 10 days Return Policy (period to inspect the product condition and if by any reason you wont be satisfied, you will be fully refunded within 24 hours).
Please let me know what is your opinion and if you agree to start the transaction.
So will I be able to inspect the camper, and if I dont like something have it returned for a full refund?
Thanks,
Jason R.
The same exact email was posted by another person on the real coop's blog under the Scams on Craigslist page: http://cooperativeyardsales. Wordpress.com/scams-on-craigslist / on July 7, he is doing this for a while now and someone should stop him.
