Just had him email me, he didn't even say what he was replying to, just that he wanted to know the price I wanted to get for the item I was selling. He is going by the name of Edmonds Herve, which is funny because that is a French politician... SCAM!!!

Thank you so much to everyone for posting.  This guy has been bugging me for weeks regarding the sale of my car and wanted my Pay Pal info which I didn't give.  Craigslists warnings are so right on.

Got an email from this guy for my car from the same email stvcrtn7@gmail.com
Going by the name edmonds herve and to email him back at herveindhouse@gmail.com

I just got a Text At 4am asking about an ad that i had posted from this number and wanted to use a pay pal account. The person assured me it was a secure way to pay. IT IS A SCAM. After some research. thanks my cousin. I told them CASH ONLY. lets just say it was declined. My son was in a terrible accident and is now  Paralyzed. im selling  my wedding ring to help pay for medical bills. I hope they catch this person. im glad my cousin helped me out because i was going to do it. It truly pays to take time to do research.

Just had this s****ead text me @ 5am asking about an ad I posted on Craigslist.

Texted me today in response to a craigslist ad for computer equipment. They wanted to pay for the item using PayPal. When I balked, they offered Western Union. They used poor English grammar and parroted PayPal boilerplate about the service being attached to a bank account and very safe.

This person was very persistent, and wanted me to ship the item "abroad." I declined and blocked the number.

I have the same spammers texting me. And the number seems to be from Dallas Texas. +1(214) 810-2806.
My add was posted on Kijiji.ca. It is for Canada not internationally.
See my conversation with him below on my phone.

The same guy was wanting to buy my Toyota 4x4 through paypal so I was thinking this was too good to be true.....so I just told him....."let's deal with this in person and then maybe we can deal!".....lol no answer back yet.......darn scammer

I received a text from this guy as well wanting to purchase my truck.  He told me to set up a paypal account.  I told him that he could give me a certified cheque or money order if he wanted it and asked how he planned to pick it up (I had googled the number and it came up as being from New York).

I wish there was a way to get these guys. I just had area (573)200-6736 text me, wanting to by my 06' Impala which is advertised on Saskatchewan Kijiji, and ship it to Missouri. LoL probably not gonna happen.

Steve

Selling my trailer online, I also received a text message asking for my paypal account information.  Thought it was to good to be true so did some research and this is what I found.  Obviously I have cut all communication with this person now, thanks to you guys.  He also called himself Steve and gave the same email address as above.

SCAM SCAM SCAM.

This guy annoys me with the paypal for my car. Don't want to use interac money transfer or money draft. Total scam!

He's a scammer... Called on my furiture as well. I doubt there are many dining rooms in Nigeria...
Tell you want cash or bank draft and see how that plays out or have him e-mail the money to you.

caller keeps texting me wanting my furniture i posted on kijiji and wanting to use paypal, he told me he's not trying to scam me and he gave me his name and email addy says his name is steve and is email is stvcrtn7@gmail.com.  Don't know if i should believe him or not?? I looked up his number on the internet and this is what i see.....if other people are having the same problem with the same guy then obviously its a scam

Want to buy my tractor wants paypal info, total scam

Keep getting texts from this person wanting to buy my phone I have listed on local classified site. Wants me to send to Nigeria. 5th time people from USA area codes text me to send to different country. I live in Canada. This is ridiculous.
