I posted my car on Craig's List and I got an email saying with this message:

Thanks for your swift response, I'm seriously interested in buying this for my Father as gift, your asking price is quite reasonable and affordable considering others I've seen lately, I'll take it. I would have loved to come check it out my self but am currently in camp as military seer instructor for new recruits. I however squeezed out time to check this posting as all personal dealings are highly restricted here, i really want this as a surprise gift for my Father so i won't let him know anything about this until it get delivered to him and due to the fact that phone calls making are restricted......i will be paying you with my PayPal account because it's attached to my bank account and its safe and very secure way to make payment. If my mode of payment is accepted just send me your paypal email address,(Paypal ID) so i can pay in right away. I have a private courier agent that will come for the pick up after payments has been made, so no shipping included. I'll need your name, the pickup address or location  and please include your PayPal email address for the payment and send me some recent pictures if available And if you dont have a paypal account, you can easily go to www.paypal.com and sign up. its very easy. I await your reply asap

I was feeling fishy about it but thank goodness a friend told me that all military personal are listed on the internet. So I goggled him to make sure of his story and all these complaints came up. I read on other websites that he tells people that he has sent more money then he was suppose (usually about $900) to and asks them to send the extra money back to him. Also uses the name Bent Lucas or Roberto Kelly. Beware!

I just received an offer for a pricey bed which I listed on Craigslist from Bent Muay.

I am trying to sell a Mustang on Craigslist.  I received the same email as "just another occasion".  

Hi There,

 Thank you for getting back to me ,I'm highly interested buying it from you, the price is pretty fine and I'm ready to move on, I will be paying you your asking price and can you assure me that it's in good condition because I don't want to be disappointed buying this from you. I'm ready to pay your asking price but due to the nature of my work, I'm out of state for coaching program where i stationed for my rugby coaching, i have a pick up agent that will come for the inspection and the pick up, the only quickest payment option is PayPal, I make the payment via PayPal since I'm requesting this transaction to be done via PayPal, i will be responsible for all the PayPal fee/charges on this transaction and if you don't have an account with PayPal, its pretty easy, safe and secured to create. Just log on to www.paypal.com. I hope we can make the deal as fast as possible? I have a Pick Up Agent that will come for the Inspection and take care of every necessary paper for me. the Pick Up Agent will also handle the pick up after i have send the money to your PayPal account.

I need the address where the agent will meet you,your PayPal email address and your final price so i can send the money now.

received a call from 646-926-0524   same scam.Looking for suckers.........

Bent Muay from a Rugby Team also just tried to buy my boat from Craigslist. Said he would pay full price and wanted it asap, but had to send an agent as he is "out of state". He wanted to pay via PayPal and wanted my PayPal address.  NO WAY!!  You would think that this scammer would at least have the sense to use a different name!

Yes, it is  scam, and there is no "shipping company," just the same scammer.

Bent Muay from a Rugby Team just tried to buy my boat from Craigslist. Said he would pay full price and wanted it asap, but had to send an agent as he is "out of state". I live in Canada. Way too fishy. Thanks for posting it.

A man by the name of Bent Muay that said he is with a Rugby Team wanted to buy my truck from my Craig's List add... Here's part of his info he gave me after I did some research on him and the individual who was to pick up my truck:

National Competitions, that the name of my team, (646) 535-9569 you can only text me for now.

He also said a man from Oregon would pick it up after we exchanged PayPal information and my address:

Thanks for the mail, Auto shipping company we be taking care of the pick and the leader of the pick up team name is Darrell Peterson coming from Oregon.

THIS IS A SCAM!!!! And a waste of my time! Beware

Thank you for wasting my time,I have a boat for sale and idiots like you have to ruin it for everyone
