Hello there
I must begin by thanking you for showing your interest towards our cute puppies. We are proud to announce to you our new litters of K9 German Rottweiler Puppies. We are willing to give out 4 cute puppies that are ready to go into a forever home. all of these puppies are almost 11 weeks old.
I am aware that you will be amazed at the prices that am giving out these cute puppies for adoption. When i talk of adoption, it means at this level, am not willing to sell these puppies for the prices that you must have known about. I have a reason for that. Am giving them out because am going to stop my breeding program for about 8 months, if not i would have been giving them out for the actual prices of above $2000 each.
Another one of my reason for letting out these puppies for adoption is that we are too busy ever since we came here. Am very busy such away that i cannot afford to give them a very good and loving home again due to my busy working schedule because of my present financial situation.
Thirdly, as our puppies are concerned, we have vet checked them not once or twice so they constantly health checked from flea and they have receive all the worming that a good and healthy German Rottweiler Puppies will need. Their parents don't have any genetic or hereditary problems and perhaps the pups too have been checked for that. I do advice anyone interested in my puppies to inquire more about this breed of dog before engaging him or herself in this, just because these breed is very special and needs more care and attention. Note that these breed is not an outdoor breed and should be kept at home but you can always take it out for a walk.
Another point i will like you to know more about my puppies is that all of them a home trained and as well potty trained too. Their potty trained character started just when they were just 2 weeks old. They have good temperaments with humans especially kids and also do have good relationship with other pets as well. if you do have a parrot, that will be their best companion as well as other breeds of dogs especially teacup puppies
Not forgetting that they have been de-wormed with Revolution canine & Revolution feline to fight against any illness like heartworms, fleas, ticks, ear mites, roundworms, and hookworms and mange in dogs. So all our puppies are clean, free from any disease and are healthy and safe

Also I called the actual rEal estate company selling this house and all they tried to do was rent me another place. They weren't too intersted so I don't know I tried

Got the same same message

Me too-for a rental house. Here's what it said-Hello,

Thanks for your email and your interest in my Home, We personally own the house and we want our property to be well taken good care of. There are some rules and regulation in which i give to tenant willing to rent my house, So please don't disrespect my order. Due to urgent Transfer to CONNECTICUT from work i will not be back until after 6years. I am here with the keys and documents of the house. I tried to look for management before i left but i couldn't get any in time, the one i got we had a deal, but later my wife advised against not selling the house, so I reasoned with her and accepted her advise. So I contacted the agent back and let him understand that i am no longer interested in handling the property to him anymore. So later we decided to have the house rent out. If you notice, you will discovered that the price we are offering is far below standard price, this is enough for you to know that we are not after the rental fee but the absolute perfect care of the property. So If you know that you have a  good credential you can email me back to secure and occupy my house at my absent. You also can Text or Call me on (657)229-3720


NB: You can drive by and check the neighborhood and get back to me for further discussion, any sign post will be removed once i get any responsible tenant so you ignore the sign post because i have stop dealing and contacting the Realtor for too much fees i pay. It is available for a long term lease as we will be here for 6years and also intend buying a new home on getting back.

Sadly, there will be somebody someday that actually DOES send this idiot money :(

is the number 657-229-4081 ?? he is listing a hyacinth macaw for cheap and he has a realy strong accent like afrcian or something has any one else talked to him? over the phone

I own a restaurant Owen Smith called me order food for catering job for 200 said he was going to give CCard and wanted me to add 1450.00 to shipper and the pay them a scam folks these folks should spend there time more wisely and get some work.

Saw a post on Craigslist for a rental property. I sent an email and asked for more info about the property and I got an email back with a 'description' and a somewhat elaborate story. They punctuation and grammar was really off, like English wasn't their first language. Little mistakes like that made me curious. At the end of the email he asked for all my information. Total phishing attack. So I googled the number he email gave me and came across this board.

This "Benson" guy is now listing macaws for sale for crazy-low prices hoping to bait people into wiring money. Still scamming as of 3/8/14 I see! Anyone want to join a class action lawsuit?...

I got a text from this number, but when I tried to call back, there was no answer.

I received the exact same responses from this person today for an AD on cragislist...I mean word for word. I'm going to post a warning message about this person now on CL.

This person contacted me via text about an item I was selling on Craig's List. Told me he was out of the country and wanted to handle the transaction thru PayPal. I sent an invoice to roomyben@yahoo.com as instructed (and PP verified this person does not have a PP account). He texted saying he paid it. 5 days later I asked him where the $$ was & he responded that he had PayPal put a hold on the funds (already taken from his account - ha!) until I post (mail) the item and submit a tracking number. I knew then he was scamming and told him that I am reporting him. DO NOT TRUST ANYTHING FROM THIS NUMBER!!!!!!

I listed a computer on craigslist and got a text asking if I still had the computer and I sent a text back that I did and I received the following text:Glad you replied I want just making the purchase for cousin use, so email me your paypal money request to roomyben@yahoo.com so I can send you the money as soon as possible
I sent text back: Sorry cash onlly
Their Response: I would have prefer to come pay by cash on delivery but I'm not available for the exchange, that's why I said I will be paying you via paypal and if you do not have a paypal account you could easily set up for one at www.paypal.com to receive your money its only few steps and if you have quickly log onto your paypal acc and email me an invoice and I shall proceed for the payment once its send, I will also include the postage charges fee altogether once so do get
My response: No deal, sorry have another person offering cash
Their response: Okay no problem

Had an item on craigslist.  Got a text from this person saying to send him Paypal invoice and he would buy item.  Told him we didn't do PP and would only deal with people face-to-face.  Said he could not meet us or make phone calls because he was out of town.  Investigated it and found this.

Same here.  Said he put money in my PP account and it was pending payment until I sent tracking info for mailing off item.  I never saw it pending and the emails from PP were fake.

tryin to scam craigslist  sales using a stolen paypal account

He is responding to craigslist ads and sending links to a false craiglist account site....phishing scam
