Now its also 320 413 7436

Same thing here via kijiji : Computer for her FIANCÉ blabla
Necessarily a scam that no one should buy.

He's still at it, right now. I suspect he's the same as 334-245-3154.

exact same scam, wanting paypal info.

JUST GOT THAT SAME MESSAGE !

Same exact thing: text message in english (even though my ad was in french) not asking about the item and directly asking to send it to his fiance in west africa

the n**** new number is 323-835-1408

Hello I Just receaved text from this mother f****r, i tryed to rolled me up but thanks to you  in found out before

Same over here,
He or whatever it is send me a text message saying they wanted to buy my iPhone 3gs that I was selling on Craiglist for $95 and said that they would send me an extra $200 for shipping cost, I've had a lot of these scammers contact me so I knew this wasn't real. Y'all be careful out there though.

Same idiot tried same "fiance" story with me... also had a "best friend on special duty in West Africa" story. I can tell by the pattern in his broken english that same person was using these numbers too;
(646) 397-0892, (323) 989-3505 and (315) 514-0317.

I just got the same message from the new number. saying he will pay 200 extra for me to ship to Fiance. asking for my paypal address

F****ng c*** tried to scam me too.Same story as all of you guys

new number 323 379 3578
i googled his email and this came up so just to warn you he is still doing this. he said he wanted me to ship it to africa to his fiancé... i wasnt sure so please beware

Same thing here.
Soon as I posted an ad for selling my phone on craig's list, I got a text message.
Good thing I didn't reply after viewing this site.

just got a message from this number wanting my camera. said they would pay me much extra to shipped it out toward his way! bs! glad i found this site! thx!

ame here this is a Nigerian Fraud he tries so many times the text he sends you is a Google number you get online for texting ,I know this guy he keeps sending me ,he goes to CraigsList dig there and search for items and tries to bargain on the price and then he agrees to buy it asking you for your Paypal account and if you do not have one he even guides you on how to open one,Take the payment write a fake tracking number by USPS and take his payment cause later your payment will get reversed cause he is a hacker that hacks credit cards from many countries and use them ,even though once  he bought from my site and i lost 3K in 3 deferent orders where he paid direct to me by a Visa Card and his address was GB(as Great Britain) and a zip code of Nigeria and when i asked the post office clerk she told me Gb is Great Britain but she did not know eather and the parcel went to Nigeria 3 times same mistake and after 3 months Visa calls me and pulls out of my account 3K + all the other fees that i lost ,So here the Visa company is no better then the Crooks of Nigeria .I never ever deal with Nigeria the number one country in the world for FRAUD , Not sure why our FBI doesn't do anything about it they let us get scammed by these a**holes .
But don't ever send something to anyone ,first check there zip code , and be careful too many scammers specially from Nigeria they are lazy people and do not like to work there main work is scamming people .
