Yes guy sent text today same thing. Here is message. From "
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. However,does it have
any history I should be aware of? and why are you selling if you don't
mind my asking and I will really appreciate if you can email more info
and if possible more photos. 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
and your phone number. 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.
Then this
Hi thanks for reply, i work with Don Pedro offshore oil and im
currently onboard right now..
I'm from Liverpool, and you can call me for few seconds on
+447024034153 for confirmation..
Number was +61 428465117 which is australia code
And was not correct as you can sign up for internet number etc easily
They seem to want your email and paypal details quickly
People report to paypay ok. They are obv crooks from somewhere and must have their own paypal to try to scam you
Takes minutes to make a free mail address
All the best. Operate in cash and never big notes

oh yeah i told him how about he send me his address and I would send him a gun and one bullet to kill himself with that f****ng terrorist.
| jake 2013-07-21 22:47:01 Unknown |
Yup exact same thing, told him to google their own number so they can see how big of a fraud they are, i registered that phone number for mulitple websites to recieve lots of spam text and calls.

Same thing! A text message wanting to buy my father's motorcycle from CL in from Sac, CA. Text # came from Washington DC. The purchase was a surprise gift for his son. Wanted to know if Pay Pal was okay to use. Full asking price was no problem. An Engineer for Don Pedro Oil! No name given. Asked what condition the motorcycle was in and why are we selling the cycle. Bla, bla, bla! I took a pic of a blog of complaints on the scammer and sent it! I said, caught you!
| Carlos 2013-02-27 21:36:50 Unknown |
text from Randy Nguyen, offshore, wants to buy a car with no engine in Oregon for son. Wants to pay full price right now, demanding paypal address to pay, very pushy has asked for paypal six times
| charles 2013-02-15 22:24:48 Unknown |
This number is a scam. The guy told my husband he could only txt because he works on an oil rig . He said he was fine with our offering price and wantes our pal address so he could pay for it. He said he already has someone lined up to pick it up . I googled the number and found this page . Where people have said the same story this guy just told us.
| dave 2013-02-11 16:51:12 Unknown |

| Allan 2013-02-03 17:56:10 Unknown |
Same thing, same exact story by text. I'm in Oregon. On an oil rig and can't call. Don't know how the scam would work but does sound like one.
| DWE 2013-02-03 07:46:50 Unknown |

Got a text after putting car on craigslist, I am in Nevada and they are in Washingon DC. sounds like a Spammer/scammer.
| Alicia 2013-01-15 16:35:14 Unknown |
I got a text message from them after I posted my van on craigslist for sale. Saying they wanted to buy my van for their son and to provide my paypal account information and they have a their agent on the way for my van. Sellers be ware
| Jamie 2013-01-04 07:48:36 Unknown |
We just got a hit from this guy Randy as well. Basically saying the same stuff about his son and about paypal. He wouldn't stop txing or insisting on our paypal email and info. I sent him a not so friendly tx back ;). This is for sure a SCAM. Please beware...
| Andrew 2012-12-18 23:57:22 SMS |
Got a txt from this number as well and he said his name was Randy. Offered to pay me more than the listing price of the car that I was selling and seemed a little to anxious to buy it. I decided to google the phone # and found this site and Im glad I did. If you have gotten a txt from him do not entertain him at all and say you will report him to the law and that will get them to stop.
| Tim jones yo 2012-12-05 03:18:47 Unknown |
Got the same guy, named Randy N, he works for Don pedro off shore oil crap. These people really piss me off
| steve 2012-12-02 02:09:40 Unknown |
received a text asking if bike I was selling is still available. Got the text within an hour of listing it on craigslist in myrtle beach. Glad I found this site, and won't waste my time with him (say's his name is Randy)
| Meg 2012-11-26 23:23:52 Unknown |
My step father was selling his bike on Craigslist and received a text from this number. This guy said he was okay with the listing price and that he was working on an oil rig and wanted to buy it for his son. He was requesting to use PayPal and insisted on it being a reliable way to do the transaction. The red flag was when he asked him to help make the payment to the people that were going to pick up the bike. So I decided to google the number and hopefully it was in time. I had to change all of his accounts so that this guy "randy" couldn't hack into anything! Be careful people! SCAM

| John 2012-11-17 23:01:22 Unknown |
This guy is a scamer! I put up my camper on Craiglist and moments later he texted me saying he was intrested and the price was rightl. He told me that he was getting it for his son and that he worked off shore. This did not feel right so i looked up his number and it led me to this.
| angela 2012-11-12 10:17:24 Unknown |
and I posted it on Craigslist too. So he is praying on craigslist obviously!
| Angela 2012-11-12 10:16:39 Unknown |
I just got a text wanting to buy my furniture for his son and he works on an oil rig. He would pay thru paypal. was almost insisting on getting my email address. I asked him to give me his and I would send him and invoice first. then i googled his phone number and this is what I found. Thank you so much for posting this. I would have lost alot of important money in this transaction. Not to mention he texted me at 3am. He has his scam all worked out. You can tell bc he said he would have an agent come to pick it up, transfer title and paperwork. I knew something was up! Don't do it. If your gutt tells you not to, then don't!!!
