This person goes by the name of Dickson Martins, and he texted me on a reply of a dining room table I had for sale on Kijiji, and asked me to email him, and then asked info on the things I had for sale, then sent me this automated email saying that he wanted my things and he was going to send a shipping company to pick it all up..etc...I caught him in his B.S. and told him that this is fraud and that I was forwarding his emails...and I never heard back from him...so hes a theif!!!

I received a text mesage from the same person and same number wanting to buy some used tires and rims i had posted for sale on Kijiji he wanted to pay using PayPal and wanted my info then have a courier pick up the items, area code 234 is listed as Ohio so I became suspicious as to why someone would go to all this trouble for some used rims and tires that he could easily buy locally instead of from another country. He e-mailed me with instructions so he could "send payment" to my PayPal account which I can only suspect he would cancel once the items were picked up leaving me with no money and no rims and tires. I guess it's like the old saying "if it sounds too good to be true it probably isn't".
After talking to the Police Anti-Fraud Center here I discovered there are 4 other complaints on file regarding this individual (Dickson Martins) so beware. The Center also told me he uses different phone numbers for his scams, sometimes an Ohio number another from California.
I got a text message from this number responding to an ad i had posted on Kijiji, he asked me to e-mail him with the price and availability of the item i was selling, he then e-mailed me back saying he would purchase the item but wanted to pay through PayPal, i was suspicious so i called the local Anti-Fraud Center where i was informed there were already 4 complaints on file regarding this person that uses the name Dickson Martins, He is running some sort of scam so beware of this person.
