Craigslist Scammer?????

[Ransom]

oh oh oh! you should just keep leading him on. Keep replaying to his emails but with out the information he is asking for. Ask him questions! Such as, who is the assistant that will be contacting me. Ask why he wants to buy what you are selling, but describe a completely differnt product.

I have read a lot about these guys on 419eater.com or what ever it is.

Have fun with it.:thumbup:


OOPS! Didn't realize it was an old thread brought back from the dead lol.

Mother's maiden name

All telephone numbers (landline & cell)

Employment information
All debit card information (include PIN)
Home alarm personal code
location of house spare key
Make and model of vehicle(s)

Hours that purchaser definitely cannot arrange for range pick-up because there will be nobody home.

Re: Be wise about Email Names too!

Peoples - at a minimum be wise and make an email account just for Craigslist and other cr@p that does NOT consist of your first and last name in any way shape or form!!! One that can be deleted as it means nothing and had NO banking transactions associated with it EVER!

people use the same accounts WAY TOO MUCH!!!! .... Hint Women, the same applies to things like dating services too! Don't give out your FULL Name EVER. Dah - name, plus town, plus age, plus google and you're found!

And even though they create something cool like; [email protected] they foolishly associate their name in text to the acct. like this:
"Robert Ford"<[email protected]>

If nothing else it will keep the spam to minimum on your daily used email accounts.
