I Am Being Hardcore Trolled...

[Hotsauce]

On Craigslist by spammers. I am trying to sell some electronics and I keep getting random spamming. Is there a way to report email address? Or is there anything I can do?

Here are some examples....

Them: 12:02 am Thursday

Just want to know if this item still available for sale? I am very interested.

James.

Sent from my HTC smartphone on the Now Network from Sprint

Yes the product is still available. I will have it with me, let me know if you would like to meet today.

Thanks,

Them: 2:05pm Thursday

Thanks for the prompt response i have instructed my account officer to

mailing (overnight) a certified check,while you hold on my behalf.

once you receive this, my mover will come pick up at your place.I will

be needing the following information to issue out the payment . .

1.Your full name

2.Your mailing address(Physical)

it will be delivered within 2 days.I have taken a close look at the AD

[Hotsauce]

Another one...

Them 3am:

do you still have this i am in the area today and would love to come get it

Me 7am:

Yes I have it, I can meet you anywhere after lunchtime. Just let me know where.

Thanks,

Them 11am:

Hello again,

Just thought you'd want to know that my sis ended up signing up for a different home income program because she didnt want to pay the 100 bucks…. she didnt have the money and wouldnt borrow it from me (shes a bit stubborn lol).

But the program she's in actually seems pretty good because shes already earned money. Plus it's free to register:

ww.top5homeincomes.com/?id=UE8956 <<<don't click on that link, I don't know what it is!

She started yesterday and already made $40 so it definitely works.

I hope you dont mind that i messaged you again, i just know that a lot of people could use extra income now and programs like this have really helped me a lot.

Me 1pm:

Hey,

Ok, great info, here is an idea, go fug yourself Danica!  Ok thanks have a great day!

Love Hotsauce

[Floppin]

That first one sounds like this dumb bitch that tried to scam me out of a Cannondale road bike that I'm selling.

[Floppin]

I deleted the email conversation, let me see if it's still in trash.

[Hotsauce]

I'll be here waiting

Good to have your reply,I am Bethany Fett, from harrisburg

Pennsylvania and would have love to come for further face to face

inspection at your residence myself, but I am a US Army Reserves

working as a flight doctor under the auspices of the aircraft

Maintenance here in Rhode Island. I am buying this for my son in

Warsaw Poland, as a surprise gift and understand i want you assure me

it's in condition described. I will appreciate more pictures if

available and will be sending your money asap. My shipper will be

available to pick this up as soon as payment is made. Do you have

paypal account? because, I have a paypal account that I can easily

send money through because, its good for business payments. Get back

to me with your paypal email address and name in order for me to have

I am sending you the pictures that I took in full resolution. The bike is in perfect condition and has only been rode a handful of times.

Is the $1750 Asking price acceptable to you?

The pictures are attached. Thanks,

Due to my present location, my choices are limited and I do not have

much access to my phone facilities as i would have called to iron out

issue reason been that i am of the busy type. I am an honorable woman

and you will receive your money cash in hand before this is picked up.

However, it's easy and free to open a paypal account. Just go to there

website

www.paypal.com

and sign up a personal account there. Paypal is

the world leading payment master that protects both buyer/seller

interest. And with paypal, you are on a secured transaction. Above

all, it's like instant cash. As soon as you open an account, get back

to me with the name and email that you linked with your paypal account

and I will have your money sent asap. And due to the nature of my job

and having being a paypal customer for the past 18 months with no

charge back, I feel more comfortable sending my funds via paypal due

to there various security measures at ensuring safe and secured

transaction between both buyer/seller. But, if you feel otherwise, I

totally understand.

CDT. Bethany Fett,

I have created a Paypal account and as soon as I am able to get my bank account verified I will email you. Should be today, hopefully.

1]

Alright,I will be expecting to have your full name and email address

attached with your PayPal account as soon as you have set up an

account or alternatively you can send me a payment request..

1]

Yeah, I want to do everything as legitimate as possible, but I need to get my account verified before I can have the money deposited from Paypal. As soon as their test deposits show up and I can verify them, I will let you know. I have never sold anything over the internet before.

1]

Okay i understand you so get back to me with the email address and

full name that attach with your paypal account for me to made the

payment as soon as everything is verify and you get all done

I will be concluding with the pickup firm and will be getting back to

you as soon as the payment had been made, kindly have this advert

deleted on craigslist since i have agreed to proceed with this

deal...Thanks...

1]

Advertisement has been deleted. I'll be looking for your $1750 payment notification.

1]

Having concluded all arrangement with the shipper, this is to notify

you that I will be sending your money shortly. I will also be adding

the shippers money to the total amount I am sending and this is due to

the fact that, I am presently busy here at the Marine base and have no

permission to move out of the base to complete this transaction and

have no other means of sending the shippers money directly. So, I

implore you to proceed to any Western Union Money Transfer outlet and

have the excess funds sent from your pocket to the shippers

information asap via Western Union Money Transfer and get back to

paypal via email with the transfer details so that paypal can complete

the full processing of your money into your account after all

transaction data (Western Union Money Transfer details) is confirmed

by paypal. As an added security measures, paypal will also confirm my

shippers identity to you on the payment confirmation page that you

will receive in your paypal email address as soon as I have your money

sent.

Regards

CDT. Bethany Fett,

I have sent your money and you must have been notified by paypal now.

Check your paypal email address thoroughly including your spam folder

for the payment confirmation. The said funds have been deducted from

my account. So,I added extra 50 busks for the western union service

charges,Kindly proceed to the nearest Western Union Money Transfer

office and get the $750 send from your pocket to the shipper head

office in Phenix via Western Union Money Transfer and send the

Western Union Money Transfer details to paypal in order for your funds

to be fully processed into your account by paypal after all

transaction data is confirmed. So get back to paypal via mail "with

the details on the receipt that will be given to you at the Western

Union Money Transfer office after you have had the money sent" in

order for paypal to complete the full processing of your funds and

your money made available for cash out in your account. Here is the

shippers information that the Western Union Money Transfer should be

sent to below:

Below is the Shippers Information:

I will like to bring to your attention that I am an honorable woman

and will love to notify you that Western Union Money Transfer is an

independent money transfer agents and there is absolutely no way for

me or my shipper or anybody to receive the money sent via Western

Transfer will give to you, as soon as you send the money via them.

Also, as soon as you send the details given to you at the Western

worry about because, your money is secured with Western Union and no

the processing of your funds into your account and you receive your

money cash in hand, keep me informed, so that I can notify my shipper

after you must have received your money cash in hand to come for the

anyhow, it was obviously a scam.

[Doyle]

I feel scammed by Craigslist when what I ordered shows up at the door and looks nothing like the picture.

[TNPanther]

I do Craigslist all the time... Any offer to pay via electronic payment is a scam 100% of the time. When you get these emails, just delete them. They are from bots that just substitute different names. It pisses you off, but hey it's a free classified so what do you expect?

[Chaos]

Nothing like meeting a total stranger in a random parking lot to sell a piece of random poo. Isn't it always awkward at that moment that you hand the money over (or have the money handed to you).

It's like "I'll play the over-friendly act", then once the cash is in hand "welp, gotta go, nice meeting you and enjoy the _____."

Good advice, Western Union means fraud. When dealing on Craigslist, if you can't see/meet the person.. they are not real!
