texted me for an ad i had on craigslist. i knew it had to be a scam because the person couldn't spell and speak correctly AND said they were going to check with their lawyer about sending me payment. fortunately i have a family member that is in law enforcement and this person is a SCAMMER!!
Craigslist - Here is this person's most recent email to me. It's all a lie:
Sorry for not tell you thus before, I'm a disable deaf so i can not make call but you can only text me (423) 521-2839. You have to western union the shipper's fee and email Google with the money transfer details of the money sent once they receive this your account will be credited and release the fund asap
From Google support:
We have researched your report and are very sorry to inform you that the email invoice you received is not associated with any legitimate use of any Google product or service. The use of Google text, images, and trademarks is unauthorized, and appears to be fraudulently attempting to “spoof” a legitimate invoice.
For more information, please read the official Google blog post:
