Who called from 6174532918

Received this phone number in Craig's List response after I posted some computer equipment for sale. The scammer suggested I send a text message to this phone number. I found that the email addresses used ([email protected], and [email protected]) and postal addresses used in responses to my post were from known scammers. Including this phone number.

Just like ZB, I posted a computer for sale and received an email first from [email protected] then each subsequent e-mail came from [email protected]

This person is obviously phishing for paypal account information.

His awesome story goes that he's buying it for his step father in Texas and wants to pay me using paypal. Texas was in quotes so this is undoubtedly a bot (script) that changes parameters in certain areas. Going by how bad their English is, I doubt they're even American.

Good thing I googled the number and found Zb's post.

Definitely a scam.

I posted an ad on CL for an Iphone. Shortly after I got a email from "[email protected]" claiming they want to send paypal blahblahblah. i was going to play with him and get his hopes up but i got bored and decided not too.. just so happens his number he supplied to "text only no calls" brought me to this web page lol..

Just like ZB, I posted a computer for sale in Glens Falls, NY . I was contacted by this user who said they would paypal me an extra $100 on top of the price I had if I would ship it to

"Richard K. Otto
1059 Glencove Ave. NW
Palm Bay,Fla. 32907-9416 "

I played along and they responded again saying they sent the money and that they KNOW I RECEIVED IT because the money was deducted from their bank account. I said "THANKS for the payment, shipping tomorrow" ---what a loser this guy is.

Yep, this same exact thing happened to me literally five minutes ago. Fortunately I decided early on that I wanted to sell my computer for "CASH ONLY" and I told them this. They said USPS was safe, so I decided to scour facebook and google for their name. When I plugged into google their email address, this chain of responses popped up, WHAT A HOOT! So I just replied to the person with this URL. Happy Holidays [email protected]!
