Same number, pretty much same message texted to my phone. I replied asking if he/she was real or a scam and they replied "how dear you call me scam...go to hell if are not selling your vehicle" At least cuss me out like a man, instead of broken English!

I got a text after i posted on an ad to sell a truck on craigslist and wanted me to reply to his email bensonhogar@hotmail.com. I think it is a spammer.

Omg this happened..and it got as far as me messaging this person through email..all of his messages were really long, detailed and just weird..he talked about sending a cashiers check in the mail and he neede my address, and I gave it, I'm kinda freaked out..any advise?

Wow...I googled the number I got a text from about a post on Craigslist and wow yours email is the same word for word one I got with the item details changed ...wow glad I looked it up

Got a text from this number in response to Craigslist Ad. It's scam. I did something funny to another scammer. I told him my name was Turd Fergusun and gave him the address and phone number to The Whitehouse. He overnight Fedexed a package to The Whitehouse and Fedex held it back as undeliverable, I guess Turd Ferguson doesn't live at that address. At least the scammer is out the $$ for sending the envelope.

We received a text from this number asking if my tv was a firm price then the email below


Thanks for the response according to the description, I'm okay with the price and the condition pasted on your Ad. I'm ready to make instant purchase. My mode of payment would be in certified cashiers check drawn from a local Bank where i will arrange for a local pick up as soon as you get the payment, because that is the only convenient means for me and i promise everything will go smoothly. I really wish to be there to see the item but i don't have chance cause I'm a very busy person. Concerning the pick up, I will arrange for it after you receive the payment and it clears. Please get back to me with below information so that i can proceed with the payment immediately if you are selling to me.

 Address:

And as soon as this is provided, the payment will be overnight to you and i will let you know when its mailed out. Thanks and i hope we handle this in good faith while waiting to hear from you.

Craigslist Scams Beware!

There are many ways that scammers operate on Craigslist, but there are also common sense ways of avoiding most of them if you sell or purchase items from the site. When it comes to handing over money for goods or actually selling valuable belongings to others, there are a few things you have to look out for.

The most common Craigslist scam is the fake check. Many people selling top dollar items will not accept checks at all, even if they are cashier?s checks. This is something that you should consider doing yourself, once you are aware of the fake checks now being used to rip unsuspecting sellers off.

It usually starts with someone showing sincere interest in a high price item you have listed. Sometimes they may haggle with the price to appear to be a legitimate buyer, but often they will simply accept your asking price. But, they will have some excuse as to why they cannot just come purchase the item directly from you.

Some may say they are on vacation or away on business, while others may just say they live in another area or another state and would like to send you a check and have the item shipped to them. Or, they could claim to have someone else come pick the item up later.

Next, they either send you a fake check for the item that will eventually be rejected by your bank after they have taken the item, or they will request that you give them your name, address, and phone number so they can fill out a cashier?s check to you.

In this first case they are trying to get the item for free. The fake check will eventually be dishonored by your bank, leaving you with an overdrawn account and no item. In the second case, they are not interested in your item at all. They want your personal information to use for illegal purposes. Escrow companies are now becoming a popular Craigslist scam. Many people have been using escrow services as a way of ensuring transactions dealing with larger amounts of money are safe for both the buyer and the seller. The problem is many of these little known escrow companies are owned by the scammer on one end of the transaction.

In this case, a scammer will set up the escrow account and list an expensive item on Craigslist for a very low, tempting price. When they rope in unsuspecting buyers, they instruct them to use the escrow account to ensure everything goes smooth. The victims go to the website for the scammer?s escrow account (no knowing it is owned by the seller) and put in their personal information, including bank account or credit card number. The scammer, or ?seller,? then has their personal information and access to their credit card or bank account and simply disappears to use it.

The best way to deal with people you meet on Craigslist is to stay completely local. Never ship out items or accept checks or escrow payments of any variety. Do not think that is ok to accept Paypal through Craigslist. Scammers are getting smarter and smarter every day. They know that Paypal appears to look legit, because it is an escrow service, but there are always loopholes in the system. Pay with cash yourself after verifying the item is legit, and expect the same of your buyers when you sell your own items.

Same here ad on craigslist. What the heck is up with dishonest people. I get probably 5 scam attempts everytime I list something.

Yup same here..........ad on craigslist. Screw Em

Received text on phone first about my car for sale asking if price was firm.  Ditto on terms they used in emails as others.  Really didn't want to know about car details.  Through back and forth on email (wouldn't call me back), had me set up PayPal account and then told me he had transferred the full amount of car price plus shipping and PP fees to my PP account.  Gave me story about needing to have me wire through WE $1000 to cover shipping as it was a corporation through UK and they needed to have the money plus my "secret" questions in order to get the monies released.  Felt very uncomfortable throughout this process and after googling the number, saw the other folks scenarios that this is really a fraud.  Gave me same reasons for not seeing the car as shown on Raffy's email.  Closed my PP account immediately.
