This person also contacted me with the same initial questions & PayPal requests. He asked for me to ship my product (Nikon D3000 I'm selling on Craigslist) to a Micheal Adam in Nigeria (even though the guy said his name was Gibson) & he would send me an extra $100 for shipping costs. I Google'd the numbers he was texting from (438-896-2509 AND 571-494-1360), found this & confronted the guy about this being a scam. He hasn't responded.
He asked a bunch of questions that had nothing to do with what I was selling. said he could not access his bank account so he had to use paypal. Tried to get my paypal account. I told him to find another sucker.The texting stopped. I hope if you read this you won't be his next victim.
I posted an ad on San Diego Craigslist for an Asus notebook computer.
This individual texted me, asking if it still was for sale. He used the handle "Gibso."
I texted back, saying he had to see it in person.
Never heard back...
Yup, another scammer...
I'm selling something on craigslist now and he messages me about it. It's a MacBook Pro that I'm selling for 1450 and he wants to do it over paypal. I just responded to him saying id need to meet him in person for it and he hasn't replied.
texted me for a pair of shoes I listed on craigslist. I kind of guessed he was a scammer so I very gently went ahead and insulted him. kind of ashamed of myself that I was being rude.
Anyways, the number is scamming people, be aware ....
