"I'm interested to buy your ____<craigslist ad title>____."
"It's a birthday gift for my son, He's working with a road constructing company in Africa, i'm unhealthy to pick it up so i will be paying you through PayPal. Send me your PayPal email for payment. I will be paying you the sum of $1,000 USD to cover the cost and shipping to Africa.."
Sent a text asking to buy the EXACT title of my listing, mispellings, spacing, capitalization and all. impossible to be a human. also is utah area code, I'm in North Carolina.
Its defiantly a person and not a computer, I've gotten a number of texts from him/her wanting to scam me out of an item on Craigslist. I played with him for a few days and then told him I've known he was a scam and I reported him to spoof@paypal and IC3.
Yes, it's a person, it is a scammer from Africa, he wanted me to ship my laptop to Africa for 100 more then my asking price, told him to f*** himself, you will have to be a fool to fall for this guy's scam... his sick son, what a load of crap.
I just received messages today form this guy in Utah who says his son is sick and he wants me to ship my item to Nigeria. He kept asking for my email address for Paypal - thank goodness I googled his phone number! Beware Craigslist sellers.
