 My craigslist spammer encounter
Hi There, Thank you for getting back to me ,I'm highly interested buying it from you, the price is pretty fine and I'm ready to move on, I will be paying you your asking price and can you assure me that it's in good condition because I don't want to be disappointed buying this from you. I'm ready to pay your asking price but due to the nature of my work, I'm out of state for coaching program where i stationed for my rugby coaching, i have a pick up agent that will come for the inspection and the pick up, the only quickest payment option is PayPal, I make the payment via PayPal since I'm requesting this transaction to be done via PayPal, i will be responsible for all the PayPal fee/charges on this transaction and if you don't have an account with PayPal, its pretty easy, safe and secured to create. Just log on to www.paypal.com. I hope we can make the deal as fast as possible? I have a Pick Up Agent that will come for the Inspection and take care of every necessary paper for me. the Pick Up Agent will also handle the pick up after i have send the money to your PayPal account. I need the address where the agent will meet you,your PayPal email address and your final price so i can send the money now. My response was... Beat it spammer, crawl back in your hole and die. You have no clue what it looks or runs like. I'm reporting you assclown. Maybe a drone will fly over your cave and bomb it.

 Re: My craigslist spammer encounter
I always add a million dollars to my asking price and they still send the same response
"I am fine with the asking price"
LMAO

 Re: My craigslist spammer encounter
Same scam when I tried to sell a Sax. "I want it now". "Please take off posting cause I will pay asking". "Is this still for sale". Usually associated with google+ phone number that goes to voice mail.

 Re: My craigslist spammer encounter
They aint gonna pick anything up because they are not from around there they just want you to send them money cause they send you a bad check for more than the asking price. Wonder how many times it actually works.

 Re: My craigslist spammer encounter
We take reports daily in regards to this matter. The crazy thing is how many dumbasses follow the directions and cash the check and send the remander back to the crooks. We need to figure out how to drum them with crazy phone calls and emails.

 Re: My craigslist spammer encounter
We need to figure out how to make these checks and cash them ourselves, quit our jobs, sit on a riding lawnmower and smoke dope all day.

 Re: My craigslist spammer encounter
Good friend of mines is a detective! I had them send me checks too! I called him and he told me that lately they have been sending out cards through the mail for plus size women models!! He said it looked very professional!!! They had a check in it for 1500, with instructions for them to deposit it! Then mail a 500 dollar check to another address which was the photographer! He would then call and set up the photo shoot! Ghe rest of the money was payment for photos!! He said u wouldn't believe how many fat women fell for it!!

 Re: My craigslist spammer encounter
They never mention any details about the actual item. Always looking to pay over asking price and want you to send the excess back. These scams are really easy to spot and I have a hard time feeling sorry for people who fall for them.
Those of you that want to learn from the pros how to mess with them look up 419eater.com That site should keep you busy for a while and the pros of reverse scamming offer detailed accounts of the process.

 Re: My craigslist spammer encounter
I've strung a couple of them along.. Deal sounds great, Yeah send your guy with the check. Would you want to meet me at home or work, most people are afraid of my pit-bulls.
AT work OK, the parking lot behind the Police department has plenty of room to park. Just Have the secretary page me and wait in the police department lobby....
Never get much after that..
