Got the same exact reply as Maria got to an ad I just put on Craigslist for a very expensive collector's item. Susan Karen or Karen Susan wanted to purchase it sight unseen (and there was no photo in the Craigslist ad!). Said she is a Marine engineer, that this is a gift for her brother, same exact reply. Never encountered this before - guess this person is a true scammer. Willing to pay full asking price without looking at the item? Thought is was strange and this site confirmed it. Thank you all!

Same email same everything. She wanted to buy my houseboat site unseen
| mary c 2014-01-14 23:36:33 Unknown |

Same email address, skaren115@gmail.com, sent a similar message inquiring about an item selling on Craigslist.
| david 2013-09-25 01:57:55 Unknown |
got the same emails as above and almost fell for it. funny how paypal email went to in box but funds emails went to junk mail. still using name susan karen but new email is kjill@outlook big scammer closed paypal account. beware this person seems to find victims on craigslist mainly which also seems odd

Clearly this guy does this for a living:
I posted an ad and he emailed me:
ralph.martins2003@gmail.com
Hi,
I appreciate your response to my inquiry, Please im very
serious and i'll really want to make an instant purchase, the only
question i have is that, I hope it is in good condition ? I'm okay
with the price. please kindly take down the advert from CL. to avoid
disturbance, I should have come to see you face to face before buying
this but I don't have time to come over to take a look cos of my
schedule but you don't need to bother yourself with the delivery, I'll
Take care of that by engaging the services of a shipper, Please be
informed that I will pay you with a certified cashier check and once
you have receive and cash the check at your bank then I will arrange
for the pick up at your preferred location, Date and Time. Please I'll
need the following details to mail the payment to you as soon as
possible.
- Full name to write on the check
- Full Physical address to post the check
- City, State and Zip Code
- Amount:
- Home & Cell Phone to contact you
Please get back to me ASAP.
Thanks.
Clearly he is full of crap especially since he emailed me right back with this "form" letter when asking the price even though the price was on the ad.

"I was just about to make the payment when i had this little problem with the picking up,I got an email from my agent..i taught i included that in my previous email.he said he won't come and pick up unless i pay him the agent commission fee first in order to be able to schedule a pick up time ,and my pick up agent head quarters is in the California and all commission payments made for pick up, from anywhere in the world is sent to their head quarters in the California and the only form of payments they accept is western union money transfer and i tried to pay online but i will need a credit card which i didn't bring along, and there is no post office, i will include $600 which they charged to pick it up (1st class delivery), to the payments i will send through paypal. After i have made the payments and it has been confirmed by paypal you will receive a confirmation mail from them, immediately you receive the confirmation i want you to go and send the $600 to my pick up agent through western union money transfer, the western union money transfer can be made at a western union office near to you,there is always a western union agent in most western union or online at www.westernunion.com .I will be making the payments shortly and will email you as soon as it has been done."
"Hello Amanda, have just made the payments now and i expect paypal to have emailed by now,check your paypal email address if you have been messaged yet, i sent $4,700:00 in all, paypal said they would be holding the funds because of the excess payments of $600 added meant for pick up of the DJ Equipment/Speakers and due to the fact that i emailed them about the excess payment i made, until they get the western union information from you, DJ Equipment/Speakers is being delivered to my Dad , i will need you to send the $600 to my pick up agent Headquarters via western union money transfer(this can be done from the post office, as they usually have a western union agent there),i added extra $100 to cover the western union charges which shouldn't be up to that but just to be sure i added $100, Here is my pick up agent Headquarter info needed to get the money sent through western union money transfer:
Name Donald Paquette
Address 500 West Bonita Avenue #21,
City Huntington Beach
State CA
Zipcode 92648,
United State.
Please kindly email the necessary details to paypal :the mtcn which you will be given at the western union after the $600 has been sent as well as the sender's name and address used to send the money through western union,so i can forward it to paypal or better still you can email it to paypal directly. NB.. I will need your address where the DJ Equipment/Speakers will be picked up,and my pickup agent will contact you after they have received the payments in order to book a time for the pick up to be done.Thanks...........
God Bless"

Someone named Ralph Laurens left a text message on my phone after I ran an ad about a garage sale and employment postings. He was asking if I still wanted a job. The tele: number 1111 at the beginning. Where is a number like that?

Got an email from a Sammy Martins saying that she is hearing impaired and want to buy my furniture that I put in paper. She WILL NOT give me her number or address!! I think it is spam!!
| casbaggett 2012-07-24 21:12:41 Unknown |
i received the same message for a different item from Susan Longneker. she refused to give me a "pick up" agents company name and phone number. also the return address from her fake paypal email is not actually "from" paypal. she wanted me to western union a pick up agent money before her fake paypal would clear a fake pending transaction
| Karen 2012-07-24 14:46:09 Unknown |
I googled this email address: aeb618@gmail.com
It took me directly to this page. The name that responded to my add is Susan Longneker. She is offering to pay for my item which is listed for$15,000.00, sight unseen. She requested my Paypal email address, and wants her agent to pick the merchandise up. Total red flag is going up! I am glad I have done anything further.
| Rhonda 2012-07-23 22:12:31 Unknown |
Thanks for this post. I just got the same type of spam mail from this Susan Longneker and started searching the web for this person and if there were any red flags for them. Thanks again.

REMEMEBER THERE ALL RELATED SOMEWHERE IN THE PAST TO BO OBAMA
| MiaS 2012-06-27 23:56:07 Unknown |
Same Scam, still going! Damn, I already sent him my addy, but hoping he doesn't change too much from the formula.
Ok, well, if he sends the same e-mail to me, Ill let him know I'm onto him.
Ralph Martins again, but his e-mail started out elanacampbellmt@gmail.com
At least I know,and even if he DOES send a check, I can just turn it over to the police instead.
I ain't gettin slammed for all that money, no way jose.
| HarleyQuinn 2012-06-27 14:54:10 Unknown |
Recieved an email from ralph.martins2003@gmail.com. Whoever this is is still at it.
| Kimmie 2012-05-27 17:20:38 Unknown |
OMG! I'm so glad I googled this - I just got exactly this same email - and 5 mins after I posted my car on gumtree just like previous posts here!
I'm so wary as I have had really bad experiences recently, losing an Apple iMac on ebay at Xmas, as after funds had cleared they picked it up and them the next day the money was snatched back due to a fraudulent payment, then recently my Paypal account was hacked with transactions being made to two people I'd never heard of!!! Who can you trust these days.
I just want to sell my little car and not get ripped off.
| Jaco 2012-05-25 18:41:12 Unknown |
I got exactly the same message to buy my car!
Thanks for getting back to me, i just wanted to make sure nothing is
been left out. I will be buying this for the price you have listed it
for. Payment will be sent using PayPal and i will handle the PayPal
surcharge as well. I will arrange with a shipping company to have this
picked up at your location once i have paid as i am out of town at the
moment. Am a marine engineer and due to the nature of my work, phone
calls making are restricted,so you can send me your PayPal email
account so that i can send the payment at once and its easy to sign up
for one just log on to www.paypal.com,i will be responsible for the
pick up charges
Note: i'll also include the Shipping company's fee
so kindly Get back to me with your PayPal email account so i can
proceed with the payment asap..
Thanks

| doesn't matter 2012-04-09 11:59:38 Unknown |
yeh recieced the same b***s*** aswell.. watch out for this person...
| jaja 2012-04-07 05:30:27 Unknown |
Don't trust the "marine" Ralph Martin either. I hate Craigslist.
| Alison 2012-04-03 00:56:35 Unknown |
Posted my Add on gumtree received at text with in 3 min asking to email her my asking price and the condition. I knew something strange was going on!
| sean 2012-04-02 23:56:48 Unknown |
Recently received this exact same email and we believed it to be genuine until another email was sent asking for $1500 to 'clear their funds.' We also received a false paypal confirmation email saying monies had been paid into our account. We are absolutely disgusted with these scammers as ours was a genuine sale,( like everyone), advertised on gumtree and naturally we were quite elated to find a potential buyer. Of course when emailed was received asking US to pay $1500 alarm bells went off!!! SHAME on them!
| AR 2012-03-27 05:46:07 Unknown |
Recieved a message from this number +1 (319) 462-8513 saying to email rslinder1@gmail.com
and in the email had that exact message written about that they were a marine. lucky i was suspicious about the situation and found this website. there will be no payment paid thanks for the help.
| neversaw 2012-03-25 22:03:27 Unknown |
I'm so glad I googled this email. I just got a text message response from a car ad I put on gumtree about 5 minutes after I put it up on Australian gumtree but the response was from an American number.
it was from the Rose Linder email.
| Ed Elrod 2012-03-22 15:22:05 Unknown |
i received EXACTLY the same wording in response to a boat ad i placed on Craig's List.
