Hi all, I might be in some striif now, I just got an email from this guy who now calls himself captaincraig@gmail.com and he asked me for my paypal email address. I never gave it to him but I did reply to his emails, so do you think I might have a concern.
Cheers Bruce.

yes well his now operating in australia under the name Craig H Sultan, captaincraig@gmail.com hetried the same caper on me.

had the same thing from grinjohn555@gmail.com, got to love google when i typed in his email adress, immidiatly my istincts went as if someone has seen your car on ebay why would they email your mobile they would either call or send a message through ebay first from experiance, most people will speak in person when you are progressing with sale also, i have had people travel from overseas before but they will always verify who they are and never make mistakes with payments and will always have ebay accounts with feedback that gives there location, by the way anyone looking for a mint 316i compact or a 1979 vw camper there on ebay now just put in my buisness name as one word,
ps stay cautiousthe savings are endless....

just to let you know i have been contacted by this person 3 times in 2 days still the same story , but now is using grinjohn555@gmail.com BEWARE PEOPLE

These people need sorting out... pure scamming [***].

Had the usual message about wanting my car for his son from 'marine engineer' grinjohn555@gmail.com. All I had to do was give him my PayPal address and his agent would collect the car. Googled him and found all sorts of spam. AVOID!!!

Thanx for the reassurance :-)

A text message came to me from av8rldy with no reply path and no call sender option and left a message to contact him/her/it (dirtbag).
Wanting me to reply via email to captaincrag11gmail.com

No reply path on text just deleat them, there not wourth it, better to ply safe !!!!!

Thank you friends for all the reports --
21.3.13 we got a mail from Lisa M. Beeley... she was interested in a diving-drysuit (400€) for her son (we want sell on Ebay). She wanted to by it, and then paying via PayPal - after that it should be picked up.
Now we got a mail from PayPal that 850€ will be arrived on the account --- but on the account isn't any money arrived --- and... why this sum???
That was the moment I searched via internet and found this side !!!!
Thank god.......
At this moment I got a mail from Lisa Beeley (What's wrong, do you got the mail from PayPal with my payment?)

So friends what should we do now........??????

I think -. soon will the mail arrive, where she threatened me with the police !!!

Greetings to all of you - from Germany

I also recieved a text saying:

"I'm interested in your vehicle for sale.What is your last asking price & its present condition? Kindly get back to me at my email grinjohn555@gmail.com"

Thinking that this is a genuine person, I replied to him via email, stating that only cash collection is an option.

I had no idea that this guy could be so famous at hacking! It sounded to fishy as he asked nothing about the vehicle but only focused on my PayPal details.

Can this person hack my account now that he has my email address?

- Exactly same thing happend to me via email. wanting my bike as a suprise for his son back in scotland! told me i would have to pay £400 upfront for his agent to come collect it.. thought it was abit strange so looked on here and found this! email address grinjohn555@gmail.com

Just had an SMS from Gabe Franks i.e. captaincraig@gmail.com .  This is the second bloke who has tried this on, first guy wanted a PayPal invoice.

Me too. Bunch of Tossers they are

Just to add to all the other comments, this cowboy is still operating from grinjohn555@gmail.com, I've had the same as ya'll today! I wander how much money he/she/they make from this scam?

Hello everybody,

I just thought that I should become a member of this website in order to warn other individuals throughout the world about a commonly named scammer throughout this website. The item I was selling was a telescope.
yesterday I received a very plausible e-mail request from a ms Lisa Beeley, whom apparently worked of shore in Scotland. She stated that she was buying my item for her son as a surprise gift and stated that she would be unable to visit for a look. Alarm bells rang when I received several e-mails each one becoming more forceful,demanding to know when I would be sending the £150.00 carriage, which "she" originally stated would pay for me. The shipping company was called Auto Shippers Intl, its address led back to Nigeria.This company requested I send the money via western Union Control.

Today I have received a new e-mail from the same "Woman" asking where the shipping fee and item was, and threatening me with the metropolitan Police and legal action. I have read numerous reports on websites that state that this person is a known scammer. STEER CLEAR OF A WOMAN WITH THE NAME LISA BEELEY WITH E MAIL ADDRES <lisabeeleyx1@googlemail.com>;

I got this today from Craig H. Sultan
Hello thanks for reply, i am a marine engineer, i am at sea right now. I
am buying this for my son as a surprise gift. I can  only pay through
paypal at the moment as i don't have access to my bank account online(i
dont have internet banking with it), but i have it attached to my
paypal account, and this is why i insisted on using paypal to pay,all
i will need is your paypal email address to make the payment, and if
you dont have a paypal account yet, you can set one  it cant take you
less than 3mins to do that, i will be expecting your paypal email so l
can pay.  I have a pick up agent that will come for the pick up after
payment has been sorted,  l will be waiting for your reply asap..
