Googled the email message I received from a fishy buyer on Craigslist, and sure enough this page popped up. I am nothing short of ticked off from wasting time on this d****ad. I know that these buyers are all over in Nigeria, and they are nothing but trouble for these types of sites. I personally think that Craigslist, eBay, and all of the other online marketplaces would be better off just cutting off access to these people.

Here's the one I just 2 hours ago 2-27-12
They used the name  macheel.polly@gmail.com via craigslist.org

This same man Oriyomi Collins is answered my craigslist posting for household help.  I knew this was all fishy when he if offering me $350 to clean an apartment 2 days a week.  RIGHT!  haha.  So I checked this sight and there he is all over it.  He obviously is not just trying to steal money from people he is trying to steal identities.  He needs to get caught!!

oriyomi collins offered a job for my parents to clean an apartment for her and her family. she gave details of the house and even said to send a photo of her family. i googled her/him and this forum came up. also it was through craigslist. it sounded like a very tempting offer and we were about to give away our info.
oriyomi_collins999@yahoo.com <<<that is the email as of 07/09/2011
i hope some other people read this.

I just got a job posting by Oriyomi Collins, but the name attached to the email was different so I was wary of info collecting for identity theft. I have also been suckered into the whole MoneyGram secret shopper scam, they even tell you to be an a***ole so as to evaluate their ability to handle difficult customers. Anyways, the bank realized what was going on when I tried to cash the check and luckily they saw me as a victim than a conspirator to fraud. Be careful out there people!

Got the same ting today. Has anybody been able to cash one of those checks?

In response to a CRAIGSLIST AD, I received the exact same email from a different name.  I am selling a graco pack n play and other baby items.  This is obviously a weak attempt at trying to acquire someone's identity.  DO NOT FALL FOR IT.

Phone number to call back was 809-966-5256.  This person alos said she was hearing impaired.

I told "her" i wanted to meet up and for "her" to pay with cash...."she" replied that she is in a meeting in UK and that is why she wanted to send a check.  If you can't hear how are you in a meeting?

Thanks for the prompt response to my mail. I will be buying from you
so please  kindly withdraw the advert from CRAIGSLIST. Please be
informed that i will be paying with a certified check from my Bank as
i just moved here from CArdiff,on a job transfer.I  will need the
following details to mail the payment later in the day ...

1.Name to be on the payment
2.Home address
3.Cell phone #

I am completely satisfied with the advert and the payment  will be
delivered within 2-5 working days.** I use a hearing impaired phone #
8099665256 and will receive your calls via email **

Alex.

i gave this person my address and phone number. i am very worried although i am so glad i found this site

Good day and how is your day ? I just received the confirmation from
the Bank that the payment has been issued out and was mailed by the
United Parcel Service. It will be delivered to your address a day from
now according to the courier ,but to my greatest surprise the draft
was issued out for my monthly pay check $2,380 instead of the actual
cost of my purchase .

The Bank claimed that i requested for my monthly pay check to be
issued out to you  but am very sure i only made a request for the cost
of the goods to be made out to your name .This is a terrible mistake
and i was just informed about this so please once  the check is
delivered  please take it to your Bank and have it cashed as advised
by the accounting officer at the Bank.

You will then deduct the cost of my purchase  plus an extra $100 to
offset the cost of your run around expenses.The rest of the fund
should be sent to my mover  via Western union the same day you do
receive the payment so that my mover  can make the trip over for the
pick at once. **I will need your immediate response via email assuring
me  that i can trust you to handle this with care and  have the
remaining fund returned appropriately.I am hearing impaired and will
hope that your intentions remains noble through out the duration of
this transaction**

I received this same response to an Craigslist posting for a couch.  Here's what I received from "henry brown <ellisnice500@gmail.com>":

First email:

"Hello,i will like to know if this article is still available for sale and i need you to give me the last price
thanks

--
i don't deal with liar cos i hate to be deceived so be careful with any stupid interior motive ok?"

Second email to my response:

"Thanks for the prompt response to my mail. I will be buying from you
so please kindly withdraw the advert from CRAIGSLIST. Please be
informed that I will be paying with a Money Order or US certified
Checks.Anyways, I'll
not be available for the pick-up due to much engagement with me this
season,but my intention is to hire a mover to pick it up.Please note
UPS' do not deliver to P.O.Box addresses.I will need the following
details to mail out the payment.

1.Name to be on the payment
2.Home address,City,State and Zip Code
3.Cell phone #

I am completely satisfied with the advert and the payment will be
delivered within 2-3 working days.** I use a hearing impaired phone #
and will receive your calls via email.Kindly delete the posting as am
totally committed to buying from you to save me cost.Until then remain
blessed and take good care of yourself for me
Thanks

I am sorry i will be paying you with a certified check from my Bank.

I got the same thing. I too gave him my info, minus the city state and zip. I am freaked out now... I reported it to Craigs List. What are the chances?? I feel like a fool! I hate that there are people out there who insist on being SO dishonest! Well I have learned a lesson!
He hasn't emailed me back since I told him it was cash or nothing!

I know there were a few others who gave their info out, I was just wondering if anything else has happened?
Thanks!

I got 2 emails seams to be same person ,glad I found this before I sent any
