Judy from Wisconsin
Oh my gosh! I am so glad I googled this guy BEFORE I gave him my address. The whole email is like the exact same, only he's interested in my keyboard.
Kindly accept my sincere apology for the late response. I should have emailed you earlier than this, but circumstances around me won’t allow me. In any case, am pretty okay with your final price $75; my only concern is the present condition of the keyboard. as such, I will appreciate you send more pictures if you still have them. I would have loved to travel down for the pickup and make payment for the keyboard myself, but that isn't an option since I am currently relocated offshore due to an urgent project. Nonetheless, I will be willing and relieved to pay you with a USPS Money Order. I will also arrange with a picker/carrier that will come for the pickup of the keyboard at your address or any public place of your choice. The money orders will cover your payment and my picker's payment. Once you receive the money orders, take it to your bank and get it cashed. Deduct your payment for the keyboard, and send the remaining funds to the picker for the pick-up of the keyboard. I'll appreciate you consider it sold to me by this means, especially because the keyboard is meant for my daughter; she will be starting her musical class pretty soon and she's really on my neck about this.
To clear any doubts, after payment clears you may cash at your bank afterwards. my picker will be coming for the pickup of the keyboard. As such I would like to know how your name should appear on the USPS Money Order and what valid residential/office address or public place should I mail it to via UPS courier service? I am ready to make payment as soon as I get your mailing details. You can trust me by this means of payment, and it's 100% legitimate. Thanks for selling the keyboard.
Note that my shipper will be coming for the pick-up after you have successfully received and cashed the money order at your bank. Hope to hear back from you soon.
Totally got a bad feeling about it. So glad I read this site.
Hahahaaha WOWWWW what is with this person??? Because I just got the run around crap with this sick guy too about me selling my wedding dress. & the message is basically the same but mine was done thru text. It goes
"Good morning. I am still interested in the wedding dress, what is the asking price?"
then no response after I said the price.
Next day
"Hello, I still want the dress for my daugthers wedding this month, ok? I will pay you $550 and the extra $50 is for you to hold the dress til you get your money cos am paying via Bank certified cashier check or Postal money order. we just move to Utah cos of my new job as a security agent, don't worry about the shipment cos it would be handled by me. Please let me know if my offer is accepted asap."
I told them I would only accept cash or a money order done thru Walmart b/c I've been scammed before.
Then I got that SAME EXACT TEXT over a 2 week period.
Finally, I just told them off by calling & told them not to waste my time if they weren't serious.
Then they texted me from a different number.
"Hello, how are you doing? What is the size of the wedding dress and it's last asking price cos I am still interested. Roger."
I knew it was the same people so I kinda told offf since I've explained it before.
Then they sent "As soon as you get the money order cashed and you have your money, pick up will be done immediately by shipper.. So send me the name and address where payment should be sent."
I told them I will give the walmart info in the morning since it was farrrr after midnight. then this is where they COMPLETELY screwed themselves.
"my name is Roger Jacob, I work in Utah and also live there. my address is East 200 South Lindon, UT 84042. my shipping company willl come down to pick up the Wedding dress from your city<3"
Well, I'M FROM UTAH ORIGINALLY and I know FOR A FACT noooo existing housing address is at that location so I googled his "name" and the address and found this page. Hahahaha! So I told them both numbers will be reported to the police for attempted fraud because numbers can be traced back to the buyers. The only way they won't be caught is if they paid/pay for the phone in cash. But they don't seem very smart.
Other numbers they've been using is:
214-810-0564 and 909-333-6407.
I really hope this sick f*** who seems to get a pleasure out of wasting their pathetic life by wasting other's lives and time gets caught soon.
David Walton as he goes by is now not only trying to scam people by buying things he is now posting fake job ads that look completely ligit, until he emails you telling you that jobs is no longer available but has an opening for a personal assistant. David want items shipped to you so you can then send them to him (pretty much doing his dirty for him) SCAM ALERT
Yea I was looking for a job online so I guess David Walton seen a post on 1 of the job websites and contacted me via Email he used the same name different number 908-516-8783 im glad I went to the bank and the manger told me it was a facke check
