This guy spammed my email and added this phone number to my email. He sent all my contacts an email say aI was in trouble and need money.

hes trying to get people to send items with fake cheques , etc.

number tried the same from me.  Just now.

Yes this person did the same to me.

Yeah... I got a text from this guy - telling me he had an "honorary daughter in West Africa, and he would be willing to give me an addition Payment of $100 including the shipping charge am buying this urgent so am sending this to her as a valentine gift, i should have get the item shipped here in New York then send it myself but won't be able to do that due to the" - text ends there.... scam. scam scam.

he is replying to adds on craigs list and kijiji and offering to pay more than asking price for things to scam people. he will then ask you to pay some of the money back ..he will likely send a counterfiet cheque to you and then ask for money back and after you cash the check for more than what the item is worth he will ask you for some of the money back then the bank askes you for the moeny that you got from cashing the cheque-- very common scam  .....another loser scammer on the net
