Obviously not the same person.

Unfortunately scammers can now pick up the offending block of text and use it as their own.  I shall write to paypal.  Thanks to you all for taking the effort to warn others.

This man contacted me about the diamond rings I posted on kijiji. He said he's on a business trip in the States but wants me to ship the rings to his fiancé in Nigeria, he's paying me through email transfer. This is the shipping info that he gave me Julie Micheal, 38 Ola Street, Itire Ijesha, Surulere, city Lagos Zip code 23401, country Nigeria. He's willing to give me $600 extra for shipping cost, I never deal with email transfer or pay pal before, so I'm very worried and didn't take any action yet. I already got an email informing me about the transaction from him in amount of $6,500 but they're asking me to provide him with a tracking number of the items sent before they give me the money transfer number. But I need to get the money transfer first and make sure the money is int account before I send anything off. He kept on trying to convince me that he trusted me that's why he transferred the money into my account etc. ???? Don't know what to do now...

I just received a text from this chap, now using jamesnelson1190@gmail.com, texted from +1 (240) 289-2072.
He wants to buy my wedding dress.'Do not text or call back coz I am at work."
I ignored it when I saw the number the text had come in from.
I am in London and had posted the dress on Gumtree.

I am selling my boat on Kijiji and got a text this morning from Terry Scofield and it goes like this: 2403164512 is the number the text come from.
"Hello,is your boat still available for sale? let me know the asking Price, pls don't text or call back coz am at work,email me at terryscofield0123@gmail.com"
That's exactly how it was written and his first reply to my email goes like this:
"Hello,

Thanks for getting back to me, I am happy with the condition and the
price. I will be paying directly through PayPal. I'm currently working
overseas in the Mining Outskirts of USA with my Company euro max
resources so I wont be able to come and do things personally,But I'll
make sure that all costs will be fully covered by me and I will
arrange for the pick up and document changes. I have a Courier agent
that handles this all the time. I'll add the 4.6% paypal surcharge to
the total amount I'm paying you. If you could just send me a paypal
payment invoice or create an account at www.paypal.com if you don't
already have one. I will make a confirmed pick up arrangement with my
Courier shipping agent who will be coming over for pick up once you
receive full payment into your PayPal account. My shipping agent will
handle everything perfectly & take care of all documents whenever they
come for the pick up, as I mentioned before I have used them before
and trust that they know exactly what they are doing.

Please can you provide me with the following information:

Name:
PayPal Email address:
Cell Phone No:
Total Amount:

As soon as you get back to me with the info I will make the payment
and instruct my agent to handle all documents and pick up. Excited to
be dealing with you.

Terry...

So I replied :
"Hello Terry,
This is very exciting indeed! Thank you! I am on the road today and I will send you the needed info later this afternoon or this evening and wait for further instruction.
Thank you again and look forward to doing business with you.

Jason"

This is what put the icing on the cake of why I decided to really check him out- his reply back:
"Alright..

I wait"

To me that sounds like English is his second language and I'm from Saskatchewan and the US is not exactly overseas!!

I really hope this saves someone from this lowlife!!!!

MY DAUGHTER IS SELLING HER CAR ON KIJJI AND RECEIVED AN EMAIL FROM 'TERRY' INDICATING THAT HE IS WORKING FOR A COMPANY IN BOSNIA CALLED EUROMAX THEEFOR HE COULDNT VIEW THE CAR BUT HIS ASSOCIATE WOULD COME TO PICK IT UP. HE ASKED HER TO SET UP A PAY PAL ACCOUNT AND SEND THE INFO TO HIM SO HE COULD FORWARD HER THE MONEY. RED FLAGS GALOR SO I BEGAN MY RESEARCH.I FIRST STARTED BY EXPLORING THE INS AND OUTS OF USING PAY PAL. IT STATES IN THE PAYPAL AGREEMENT THAT PAYPAL IS NOT NECESSARILY LIABLE FOR RECOVERING LOST FUNDS. SECONDLY I GOOGLED 'TERRY' AND SAW THE NUMEROUS POSTS. THANKS TO ALL OF YOU THAT HAVE POSTED YOUR CONCERNS! YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT IS REAL THESE DAYS AND WHAT ISN'T!! IT'S A SHAME.

Same thing happened to me. Terry Scofiled from Nigeria who is a sailor wanted to buy wedding dress i have posted on kijiji. Sent $500 extra so I can pay shipping for him by Money Gram. Text messaged me to tell me he sent payment and to check it.  Paypal account said I will only get my money contingent on fact I pay $500 for shipping first...so we did not confirm anything or accept. I hope he can't still harm us in any way. As soon as I messaged him telling him i have to pay $500 first and then get my money which is something we did not agree upon he hasn't messaged back when this whole time he seemes in such a hurry to get this transaction to go through. Then I got two calls from a number I have never seen which is 12392054843 but he texted me from 1-301-965-0259. BE CAREFUL!

OH, and yes this was a kijiji ad,  as safe as it may seem, s*** heads will figure out how to scam you.
eg: false email confirming funds in a PayPal account. don't ask me how they do it, just don't fall for it !!

The technology has been there for as long as PC has been on the internet, eg; 10 years ago, I got an email from my supervisor  telling me I screwed up, not true,  my co-worker actually sent to me from home

Don't be fooled,

RULE # 1 = To good to be true....... u know the rest, if not...............kiss ur $$ byby

So, just wondering, did he pay you for the product? And did the transaction go through? We just had a Terry Scofield contact us through our Kijiji ad selling our tires and rims. Same MO, buying for his daugther, can't pick up because too busy working, but will send a courier once he has paid for them. Wants to pay through PayPal.

I had a text message from Terry Scofield from Rhode Island, 401-859-2474. At his request, I gave him my email address, and he emailed and offered me $50 more than my asking price for my elliptical. He also asked me to open a Paypal account and provided a link.

This is a hoax and Kijiji advises not to click on the link. Kijiji has posted versions of his email which confirm he is a scammer. Here is the link where I found the info:

http://forum.kijiji.ca/ptopic6829834.html

If you don't want to click it, just Google Paypal scam. This seems to be a well established racket and there is plenty of info.

In the end if it sounds too good to be true, it is too good to be true.
