So to do this you must be a person who has unhindered access to a computer as there could be urgent errands and assignments that needs to be passed across to you for your immediate attention.The real issue here is that impromptu assignment without previously informing you.

* Acting as a telephone correspondence while I'm away or when needed

*Handling and monitoring some of my financial activities as the case maybe.

Your basic wage is $640 Weekly but other entitlements and bonuses will follow as we go ahead I'm sure you'll understand I tend to have a very busy schedule at this point.

yo need pls.thanks
but l have not seen your name,address pls kindly mail me.

Received same exact email as posted above from someone responding to my Craigslist posting.  Must be a scam.

I have gotten similar messages about my Craigslist posting. The email comes from a different email address each time. Started with a Matt, next Phill and now I Nicole!! This is crazy! I responded to Matt that I only accept cash and this sounds like a scam to me. Especially since he was wanting to buy my wedding dress. Which was a complete red flag to me. Now Nicole is bugging me for the dress, but sent a similar email as Matt. Do they really think I am that stupid? Stay away from them! They are up to no good!

I received a message:

"Thanks for writting back. But I'm sorry I won't be able to come see it

you could sell it to me and i'm presenting it as a  gift to a very
good family. I will mail you a bank check to cover the cost and also
add funds to cover the shipping to where it will be needed. I'll
arrange for a shipper/mover to handle the pick up and delivery so it
doesn't stress you all you need to do is to deduct the cost of your
item and send the rest to the mover that will handle the shipping. I
really need this, quite important and urgent. I will be more than glad
if it can be sold to me. Email me back with a name, address and your
phone number for the check, write back soon. Regards.
Ps. Am offering extra $10 to the asking price.

Same thing received a email claiming they would send me a bank check including shipping charges + a extra $10 for my inconvience. Jennifer and Trevis were the names

I also received this exact same email today, 8/18/12, regarding a dining room set.  Even the spelling errors are the same.

I received the same message yesterday! This has red flags all over it.

SCAM: I received this generic message that could be used to identify any item being sold on Craigslist. I had posted a table for $1150, looks like they target high dollar items. BEWARE!

I have someone named Tom wanting to send me a check for $1100.00 to buy my guitar off craigslist. He's been giving me the run around for 4 days. Today he tells me he's hearing impaired and gives me this same number. Something just isn't right about the people whom this number belongs to.

I got an email from Jennifer Brown....and trevis w. From Craigslist asking to send my piano to a califoria phone number.  I had red flags!!!! Beware
