Another scam~!~

[outlawbusa]

I just received this in response to a motorcycle jacket for sale on craigslist~!~ I haven't quite figured out where the scam comes in or what the next step is, but it's obviously not legit...he doesn't even know if it fits ... maybe he just has a use for personal info he can find in the phone book...don't know

The jacket is only $75 and he is throwing in an extra $30~?~ Funny

Hi,
I have instructed my assistant to send out your payment as soon you provide your full name,phone number and address, I can only pay via money order as am on business trip now,the money order is going to clear from your bank before the pick up. Please let me know where to send your payment to because i wouldn't want to lose it to someone else. I don't mind adding Thirty dollars so you can keep it in my favor. As for the pick-up, I already have an arrangement for that.Hope is in good condition?
John

I replied back advising he can send the money order to this address:

Jacket
935 Pennsylvania Ave, NW
Washington, DC 20535









(Federal Bureau of Investigation)

Most scams are really easy to see what's going to happen next, but I don't get the next step on such a cheap item...~?~

That's why I figure it must be to obtain personal info for some reason~!~

he will send you a check that you deposit in your bank that will be no good, but after you take out your payment and send him the rest is when youll find out the check was no good....then you will be stuck covering the entire check amount...the way i read it he is sending you money to do what with it???? stay away..damn nigerians

 

[outlawbusa]

stay away..damn nigerians

Yeppas, figured that much out~!~

It'd be hilarious if he send the check to the FBI address provided~!~

The money order is altered. Its real enough that will initially clear your bank, but will eventually come back as fraudulent. Why did you have the MO sent to my old work address ???

I just received another email from him~!~

He called me stupid, and an illigitimit child (in not such a nice way) and asked me if this was my father's address


He is one wierd cookie~!!~ :rollext: (You can tell he doesn't speak English very well)

 

[Ezduzit]

They have been sending me those to, trying to offer a job, deposit money or something stupid!

The sad part about this is so many people fall for these kind of scams. Glad you didn't.

Here is an email i was sent a while back. This nut sent me a check for 4900.00 ti buy a 2000.00 idem we had for sale. I have about 15 email's that he sent me. After getting the check and the last email i went to the police and turned it in to them and told him so and i have never herd from again. These people think we are just stupid i guess. Is this the same guy that you got one from? (email below)
