I gave this loser my email n hacked into it. Tryed selling my own email for $200

The same Number called me. Asking me if the item was for sale. This person told me that he was military personnel and that he was very interested in buying the item for his father. Unfortunately he didn't tell me to send him my paypal information because the idiot never told me how he wanted to pay or if he indeed wanted to see the item. Before this there was another text from a different number asking me if the item was for sale. In that message he did ask me for paypal information so that he could pay the item right away. What was suspicious is that both messages start with "Do you still have the item forsale (XXXXXXXXX)", item. Coincidence that it might be the same guy just using different numbers. I didn't report it but glad others did. Just glad to see there is others with common sense who don't fall for lame scam messages.

Glad i found this site the same # just text me askin about a harley i have on craigslist

Same scam, but the grammar has improved.

I got the same text when i posted a add on craigslist for a harley Davidson bike. DONT FALL FOR IT!!! He needs to get a damn life!!!

Lol I told this aids clown I reported him to google FBI & homeland security because I belive he uses the monies to fund terroist groups

thanks to google i know its a scam

im selling a vehicle on craigslist and i get this person to text,no calls just two text messages word for word: "Do you have this available for sell? 02 Santa FE- $1500 (Fulton,NY)". i asked a few questions about the vehicle that he would normally ask about to see if he wanted to look at it hear it run and what not. no response. a day later i get a text message word for word: " 1/of 2 messages, There will be a pick up agent that will come to your house to do the pick up after the payment must have been made so get back to me with your paypal email. 2/ of 2 messages, now so i can make the payment asap..". i called the number and it says to say your name after the tone and google with try to contact Jimmy Finklestein? i left a voice mail nothing back.!!

total scam i posted a truck for sale on craig s list. he is not military he using a  phishing scam do not give him any paypal account info. he will email you with a phony  email from paypal saying your amount has been created the amount. then once you deposit he will empty your bank account.

Thank you!! I was contacted by this "military man tonight" wanting my Paypal acct ASAP!! That definitely sent up a red flag. I appreciate this site  thanks again!

this person is stupid he keeps sending the same mess on craigslist ..
i keep telling him he has been reported and he is a SCAM for shore dont give him any info he wont buy anything .. hell try to get your paypal and take all your money

Same information happen to me, selling large ticket item on craigslist. copied item description in text and asked "item for sell" stated he was in the military.

This guy is a scam . We reported to California police dept

This same guy is trying to do the same thing to me it's a scam

Uh yea same person texting me about truck for sale, I told him I was too busy for his bs because I have a job and suggested he get one too have not heard back from him again

This # keeps texting me every time I list something for big $$$ on Craigslist - boat, car, whatever.  It's definitely a bot with terrible english, and never knows what I'm selling... always asks "is item still for sell?".  Really?  "For Sell?" All your bases are belong to us?  lol   Huge red flags, nobody should respond to this #.

Yeah, this guy wants to buy my car via Paypal.  He says he's on the base and cannot meet, and he will cover all fees etc.  His english is terrible, dead give away.

They are a craigslist scammer.
