I just got the identical repsonse to a craigslist as a few minutes ago in the Houston area. Identical to the above post

scam they just did that for the rims i have forsale on craigs list. they try to get all your info

Just got the same email response about the def guy on the Inland Empire craigslist. Thanks for letting me know it is a scam...almost sent him my info...

Yep, I got two emails exactly as above.  From two different "guys".  They are not smart enough to keep from sending two exact same emails from two different people.

just got three e mails from them and i google the number and this site comes up  all three emails said the exact same thing

Just received the same message as above in North Carolina. Can't they stop this jerk??

Same deal. Multiple emails from same name but different addresses (although, the name was mis-spelled between the mails). Craigslist scammers responding to one of my ads.

I played into it and told them to go ahead and send the check. The address I gave is to the J. Edgar Hoover building in D.C. (FBI Headquarters)

The real way to fight back is to get the scammer to waste their time on you, which keeps them from sending out more scam mail because they focus on you; the one they think they got hooked. See http://www.419eater.com/ for more info. These guys screw with scammers all day and make a sport of it.

This particular scammer is really working right now. Two more mails of the same since I made this last post.

BTW, I am in Phoenix. I have been getting in the [***] of the Craiglist admins all day, trying to get them to implement some measures (other than warnings in CAPS) like blocking IPs from nigeria. The answer I got from multiple reps was to just "ignore" it, because there is "nothing we can do about it".

I was looking to CL as an alternative to EBay. After 7 years selling on Ebay, I only had one transaction go sour. I posted my first items on CL yesterday and already had 3 scammers make attempts to get my information on different item listings. You get what you pay (and don't) pay for, I guess. I will gladly accept some fees of a few bucks to list, as long as I don't keep having risks of my entire account being drained.

I got the same email too. I hope others check this out before giving into the scam. Older people may not be as keen to this.

Just got the same email from this scammer from a listing in tampa florida on craigslist  3/27/2009

Just the way the email was written gave me pause so i googled the phone number and got lots of hits on this number, and like "ticked off" mine was also a listing in the Tampa Bay Fl area.

His english is beyond reading and he is still using the same responce to every ad.  HE NEEDS TO BE STOPPED

(210) 209-8524 Same thing as "Gary and ticked off" in the Tampa area what a wast of time. What is the point...............................
