I got an identical message from a guy named Maxwell Crenshaw <
[email protected]> from an ad I posted on Craigslist. I responded after his initial message so this has two parts. --- Good thing I googled before giving any info.
FIRST MESSAGE:
I m helping my very good friend purchase this for reason been that he
is a novice to online business/purchase & he really don't like solving
on internet due to numerous report of Fraud activities. I will
sincerely appreciate a clear pictures if available & hope its on the
condition as described? I av been burnt several times hence i choose
transact via paypal only. Do you have an account with paypal? I av an
account with paypal that I can easily send money directly from it to
you as its good for business payments. All needed is your paypal name
and email address in order to send money. Text message is my means of
communications at the moment due to my hearing impairment damage
meaning i lost my hearing partially hence my inability to make phone
calls.Kindly Remove the sales advert from posting. How much you
finally want for it??
Best Regards
SECOND MESSAGE:
As Quoted on my previous message, I av stated that i would have
wished to come over for personal inspections but my choices are
limited due to the nature of my job, I m a flight Nurse & i hope you
understood this part properly lol. More so, I would av prefer to speak
with you by the phone but due to my hearing damage and this was
caused due to the ghastly car accident some years ago. I am an
honorable man & you will receive your money cash in hand before the
shipping agency ever come for pickup at your preferred pickup
location. However, it's free & easy to create a paypal account, it's
like instant cash and less than 1 minutes to setup. As soon as you
open an account, get back to me with the name and email that you
linked with your paypal account and I will have your money sent asap.
