Tried to scam me on Craigslist. Responded to my for sale add. Tried getting info to my PayPal account.

most  people  will receive  these  scams   very  soon  after  posting a   ad  on  "  craigslist"   (  #  1 ) and  "  kijiji "........

always  easy  to  detect.........quickly.......won't  come  and  see  the  vehicle  or  item.....usually  says  "  buying"  for a  friend /  uncle  /  cousin.......usually  as  a  gift..........claims  to  be  on  some  boat  somewhere......usually  military  and  top  secret......(  but  mysteriously  has  all day  to  spend on the internet  trying  to  scam  people ).!!!!...................always  wants  to  pay  more  than the  item  is  worth , so  they  can  send  you a  fake   money  order  that  will bounce ,  or  they  want  YOUR  paypal  info  to  take  over  your  paypal  account etc..............

- always  poor  command  of  english..........poor   structured    messages  such  as  " please  supply   last  offering  price "  


you  get  the idea..........most   of  these  scammers  are  nigeria  /  jamaica.......SEVERAL  new  ones  form the  UK    as well..Caller: scammers and fraud artists

Got a phone text from this number responding to an ad I had posted on Craigslist.  Then gave me an email address to use to answer questions about the car I have for sale.  I answered all questions dduring 3 quick emails back and forth.  Just as reported with the above caller, I finally get an offer to buy. They stated that they are at sea and cannot do the deal in person.  Wanted to do PayPal transaction and ALL of my accounting info.  Poor english throughout message.  STAY AWAY from this scam!!!

The same thing as above. Craig's list. Different number with the same area code.

Same problem only different number as soon as I said I don't have a paypal account stopped responding.
