Who called from 5014389373

Have been exchanging text about a sale I am making on craigslist.  He pushed PayPal on me as a payment method.  So I opened an account.  All seemed OK until he said he wanted to send me an extra $1100 so I could pay his "movers" to transport the goods.  He wanted me to use Western Union to pay the "movers".  Besides his e-mails not answering some of my direct questions, and the PayPal notifications with PP logos and pics BUT with an oriental language symbol between Pay and Pal raised a red,  VERY BRIGHT RED flag.  I suspect he (Rick Smith, walkerchrome@gmail, brwnsmith20@gmail or his "mover" David Jacobo, Federal Way, WA) are trying to beat out of $1100.  I finally traced this number using 800notes and notified PayPal.

Rick Smith is trying to purchase something from me via Craig's List but I verified his area code and # and came across ur post. I am ready to send response to his email, however, before I waste time, with "Rick Smith", were u able to receive payment via PayPal?

he contacted me on craig's list too.  it's BS.

Just refer to this post: http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-646-494-4063 and you'll see Rick Smith's true colors.

He contacted me with the same exact email on that post and with this phone number.  Just so it'll hit Google better, I'll post the email here as well:

Hello,

Thanks for the response, My name is Rick Smith. I am buying this as a surprise to someone very dear to me and I want to keep it that way(AS A SURPRISE) after delivery day. I work with Turner Construction,we are currently working at a very rural area which makes it very hard for me to make phone calls due to bad network reception here but you can always text me on (501)438-9373 . I will not be able to view it but I have a Mover who will come for the pickup so please get back to me with more pics and also I will be making the payment via PayPal as that is the only payment option I can access from here I hope you understand.I have some questions for you;

Are you the first owner of it?
Where do you live?
What is your final asking price?
Does it have anything negative i should know about?

Hope to read back from you soon.....
Regards Smith
