Just recieved a text he's interested in buying my 2012 Volvo S60.

How can we report this a***ole so he can be tracked?

Hahahaha! thats soo funny! same exact thing just happened to me! he wants to buy my WRX for his son for his birthday, this guy must be rich as F*CK and want to surprise him with all these gifts. jk! what a scam! i told him to F*CK off and if he wants to add money to my PayPal account then he can do it to my email address that he was emailing. what a waste of time, i hate people like this, whoever is doing this, they will get whats coming to them haha!

I just got the same two texts from robinsin50@gmail.com about two different motorcycles I have listed on CraigsList .... it came from 1-435-562-7609 .... I was suspicious because if he wanted to communicate via email he could have emailed me thru CL, so I googled the email address and found this page and other results like it.

I didn't even give him a chance ... I replied ...
Hey scammer,
Let me guess its a birthday surprise for your son and want to pay me via paypal.. loser

Interested in my piano. Texted from number 219-488-1203. Insisted on only communicating via email "due to my natural work". robinson50@gmail.com

Same here, he sent a text to me about a motorcycle i posted on craigslist.

Thanks I'm just asking about it to make sure its in good condition as im buying it for my son as a birthday surprise gift and he doesn't know about it, so can you assure me i will not be disappointed? also no shipment involved as i have a mover that will come for it. What is your bottom price and condition , I can only pay you via one of the fastest and secure way to pay online (PayPal).. Do you have a PayPal account? Let me know asap so i can arrange the payment through PayPal. my shipper will be coming to pick it up as soon as the payment clears into your account .

he's also interested in my Motorcycle.  Only contact via email. txt me from 307-352-9614 john at robinsin50@gmail.com.

Yup, he's also interested in my Motorcycle.  Only contact via email.  Figured it was a scam so I came to the net to check it out and sure enough it is!  he text me from 775-374-4835.

This guy must be quite the generous giver, because he also is buying his son a motorcycle for his birthday. Same scenario. PayPal only, doesnt want to see it, has a mover coming for it, etc. Of course.

Text me about a car I was selling on craigslist and asked me to email "John" at robinsin50@gmail.com. Insisted on only emailing for contact and only using PayPal for payment. Said he was buying the vehicle (a mini van) for his son for a surprise birthday present. When I called the number no one answered. The voicemail said the person at extension 19292327233 is unavailable. Quite sure this is a scam. Especially since I saw this email connected to a different number as a scam.
