Who called from 9089553786

Craigslist & Kijiji are not eBay. There is no reason to take checks, money orders, or Paypal. NOT what they were intended for. Set up to be a local sale, where you meet in person, look over the stuff, & hand over cash to the seller. Why would someone in Miami buy a baby grand piano from San Jose? They wouldn't. Just put "Local only - Cash only - No text message - In Person". Boom! There go 99.9% of the scammers.

Scam!  Received the same texts as everyone else!  Stay away!!!!

I too received a text from David Richard in regards to an ad posted on Craigslist. He stated that he could not talk due to an illness. He wanted to pay via PayPal. He would hire a shipping company to pick up from Birmingham, AL and deliver to New Jersey. He also wanted me to contact him via his email: [email protected] I am sure so he could hack into my computer. When I responded back via text that I could not complete this transaction he wanted to know why. I told him this number shows as a scammer. I have not heard back from him.

Here is how the "PayPal Scam" works:

Says they will buy the item and will pay extra to cover charges by his shipping agent.
Says he will PayPal the funds and instruct you to send the extra money via wire transfer or pre-paid card to the agent.
He then sends you a fake PayPal deposit notice email, spoofing the official PayPal notice, that says the money has been put into your account.
You, thinking PayPal has your money, go ahead with the wire/prepaid transfer to the shipping agent, who is really the scammer.
After that, you then find out there was no money transferred to PayPal and are out the money your wired.

Ya he emailed me today about a phone. don't even reply to him he is a scammer and i REPEAT DONT REPLY to him he is a ugly as indian dude. Don't worry about him were doxing him right now i will find his real address. For the mean time don't EVER give him your stuff.
