Who called from 2816733247

Don't feel bad I fell for the same scam too. He told me the exact story. What a looser. Doesn't he have anything better to do?

This was the exact message I got trying to sell a wedding dress on Craigslist:

So glad I saw this blog.  I was so happy thinking I was going to sell my wedding dress.  Sisters - doing it for themselves!!!

I reported this to the FTC here:

You could also file a report.

Greetings, (This was the exact message I got from this idiot)

I appreciate your response to my initial email. I'm very sorry for the late response due to our trip down here to Rhode Island. I just concluded with my daughter on buying the wedding gown. The link of your ads had been viewed by her and she's very okay with the details of the wedding dress.   I'm interested in buying this gorgeous wedding dress for her wedding ceremony coming up in a couple of weeks and we are in a top gear of preparations, Which means buying a wedding dress, is very important to her. Sending more picture will be awesome. Please, I will appreciate if  reduction of 5% can be taken off from the original price of the wedding dress. What is your final price of the wedding dress?

I would have been happy to pick up the wedding dress and pay (cash) as a person but time hasn’t permit us because we booked next day flight down to Rhode Island. And as a single parent I do not have a helping hand. because of the contract awarded to me which has made us relocate down to Rhode island. My daughter has however made arrangements with a carrier who would come for the pickup of the wedding dress over at any location of yours after payments have been duly made.  I would had love you to send the dress via a courier service but my daughter insisted and gave  instruction that she wanted her carrier (Ms. Yvette Ann Sims) to come for the pickup.  So that shipment and handling can be taking care of very carefully with dry cleaning.

To get this clear to you, Payment of the wedding dress will be made out to you before Ms Yvette Ann Sims come over to pick up the wedding dress. I'm very new to buying stuff on here and I hope you can be trusted to make available the dress after payment has been made out to you. My daughter works with United State Postal Services and we will be glad to pay with a United state certified Postal Money Order. I'll appreciate it if you consider it sold to us via this means.

After payment clear your bank. Ms Yvette Ann Sims will  show up at your location in picking up the dress. Excess funds for the shipment and handling will be included on the payment and sent to picker for her services. I'll email her contact to you as soon as you received the payment via FedEx/UPS. How should your name appear on the Money order and what full home address should I mail it to? With your valid phone number. Kindly consider it sold. God bless
