apparrent craigslist scammer based on google search, asking for personal information from afar so that he can send a check for more than the list price of the item.
Got an offer for $50 more than asking price to hold table and chairs. Was wanting to send a check and asked for name and address. Typed his number in search bar of internet and found this warning. Same number and same caller name. I had already asked him if he could use Pay Pal and have not received a response.
If you are selling something on Craigslist, DO NOT ACCEPT PAYPAL PAYMENTS!

Remember to return here, to 800notes.com, after you look at any of the information at that site, and tell us you avoided the scam.
thanks for the link. I only asked him about using PayPal AFTER I saw this site and figured he was a scammer. I will only accept cash for my items when they are picked up. I'm glad I saw 800notes!
