Today, I just got the EXACT same response from "Barry Douglas" to an ad I placed in CollectorCarTrader.com.  I know now not to expect anything good and I've retracted the short e-mail response that I made.

Today he's Barry Douglas and he responded to my Craigslist ad.

I shall be paying extra $250 for shipping tax,I do hope it will be enough for shipping to my private hospital which is located in west Africa.

This person is very sneaky....

They know what they are doing, for all of you who are out there getting e-mails that something just doesnt seem right IT ISNT!! This person sent us multiple emails that keep us hanging on but there was always something that didnt seem quite right. However they do have multiple e-mail addresses that are very close in names for example mary_jn004@yahoo.com....mary_jh04@yahoo.com, mary_jh004@yahoo.com when you are looking at the e-mail address you dont really even notice the 1-2 characters off. This person was turned into yahoo and also ic3 which is a branch of the FBI. The only way that you can and or will catch crooks like this is to turn them in, eventually they will get caught. Thank GOODNESS we did not get the full 100% scam. However something in thier game got messed up or we would have been a victum of thier crime. We did have shady cars driving by our home etc because we did provide them with our address as we though we had sold our vehicle and they needed to know where to send the shipping company to come and get it! This is scarey to know that some crook knows where we live! We did contact the Sherrif as well and they to told us that there was not a whole lot that they could do, IMAGINE THAT! However yahoo did reply that they did terminate the account and that they could not further tell me what else was done. Maybe nothing but the deal is to let people know what is going on and GET THE WORD OUT. Post the e-mail addresses out on the web that these people are using so that people can see it and know if it is FRADULANT! Thanks so much to all you whole SAVED MY REAR!!!!!

I just received an email from this same person using a different email address.  DON'T DO IT!  I am hoping you have not done anything with it since I noticed you posted this on April 25th.  We are trying to sell our house and had similar emails from some "guy".  IT IS A SCAM.  It is known as the Nigerian 411 scam, I actually spoke with a Sheriff regarding this scam.  There is no recourse for you, the only thing you will get out of it is being suckered!  :( for lack of a better word.  Good luck selling your car!

I have been working with this person mary_jn004@yahoo.com in regards to a car that I am selling. They claim to live in Nevada and are currently doing business in the UK. Below is the message that I have recieved: DO YOU THINK THIS IS A SCAM. The very first e-mail that we recieved had the 775-314-8562 phone number on it?

Thanks for the reply,the vehicle payment will be sent to you as soon as
possible ;
My cousin said that the funds will be in form of a certified cashiers check of
$22,000usd,which will cover all the expenses that concerns this transaction.
He instructed that when the payment is received, that you are to deduct the
cost of your vehicle which is $15,200usd then send the remaining $6,800usd
to the shipping/pickup agent(the pickup agent said that they are always on transit
so that the only way they can be able to receive the fund will be via WESTERN UNION
MONEY TRANSFER OR INTERNATIONAL MONEY GRAM their information will be forward to you once
the payment package is received.
So after you have received payment and send the balance meant for the transportation of
the vehicle to the agents to enable them off set all the necessary shipping charges,pay
tax and also as payment of the services they are to render in this transaction.She will
now come over to your location with a copy of the BILL OF SALE for the pickup and also
test drive of the paid property.
NB;Before Pastor,john (my cousin) travelled to Rome today for signing of contract,he explained to
me that why the funds will be on the above amount $22,000usd is
because its a donation made by one christain organization to the church so the church members
decided to purchase this your vehicle with the money for him.
So this is how we intend completing this transaction smoothly.
In conclusion if its acceptable to you then forward the following below listed
information to me today for us to proceed with the transaction immediately.
YOUR FULL LEGAL NAME:
YOUR ADDRESS OR WHERE THE CHECK WILL BE SENT TO:
YOUR PHONE NUMBERS:
My cousin information.
Rev.pastor John Williams
The Anglican Diocese of Montreal
1442 Union Avenue,
Montreal, Quebec H3A 2B8
Diocesan Office
514-370-8080
This is my information:
Name:Ms.Mary john
This is my UK Phone number:44-703-197-0107
Right now am on a business trip in London,
you can call me with the above phone number.
Once am through with the business i have in hand i will immediately
come back to where i live Nevada in US.
I hope hearing from you immediately with the payment information.
Thank you and God bless you

Welcome to IC3

They do catch up with people as such...

In selling a Printer on CRAIGSLIST, I encountered this so called "Dr. Lucy Darwin" <drllucy77@msn.com.
Here is a tale of the Tape: (Do Not allow yourself to be taken by this Low Life individual who probably plays with his/her self all day)

--What is your lowest price?Get back asap.
Dr Lucy

--Great.I am actually buying it for my private hospital in Africa It has
to be used in printing some documents  which will be used in a campaign
against  HIV coming up very soon .I want it shipped to them direct.I
will pay $1750 for the printer and extra $200 for shipping making it
total of $1950.Do provide you paypal account invoice for payment.
Dr Lucy

--I am busy and cannot travel now to Africa myself.The shipping address
is; 24 Awkuzu Street Uwani Enugu 400001 ,Enugu state Nigeria .Get back
asap
Dr Lucy

And lastly, this email that speaks of nothing having to do with the SALE:
How well do you know your celebrity gossip? Talk celebrity smackdowns here.
Dr Lucy

Thanks to all those who report such Baconstrip underwear eating jerks as such.
Ceasar

yeah... the message I got (same phone number listed) is:


It seems good.What is your lowest price.My private hospital needs it.
7753148562.Dr lucy

that's all it said..e-mail was from a "Dr. Lucy Darwin" <drllucy77@msn.com>

thank goodness I didnt reply... I've already lost one e-mail account because of spam overload... I dont want to have to go through that again

oh! and better yet! the first reply I got for the item I'm selling... scammer. saying she'd send a cashiers check and she'd arrange for someone to pick up the item after the check cleared... and just... nothing seemed right.. so... that persons "e-mail" is: "Cyntia Scott" <cyntia_scott@yahoo.com>.. thought you'd enjoy the warning.

Just got the same number from Dr. Lucy on Craigslist. Thanks to you guys I didn't respond. What a bunch of jerks out there. Thanks guys.

Mike

Duh, I forgot to mention that the email I got from "Dr. Lucy" was also in response to a craigslist ad---for something I was selling.


Oh, and if anyone happens to read this---who am I supposed to report this to? craigslist? I'm guessing this information might be useful to someone and want to make sure it gets reported correctly.

Thanks!

Hi guys,
I just happened to get a scamalicious email from a "Dr. Lucy Darwin" (great name, eh?) Anyway, I just Googled her phone number randomly while I was thinking of how I was going to respond (rude-ish, smart-alec-like or just no response at all)...and wound up on this site. The following is a copy/paste:

21 March 2007 (today---second email---the first seemed normal-ish---or at least too short to tell if it might be from a faker)
