Wow!! I got not one but TWO of these scammers in ONE DAY. Posted an ad on craigslist and cycle trader the night before and woke up to one, larryben01@outlook.com, who said he wanted to buy my bike for his brothers son as a surprise birthday gift. At this point I'm like "okay this guy seems legit", until I see that he's sending some "mover" to come get it as soon as I receive his payment through PayPal, and that I had to reply with the condition of the bike to see if he would be getting a good deal, my address, my phone number, and the amount of money I wanted. Stupid me thought this was still legit, so I gave him what he wanted, then I get an email from "paypal", which was a bunch of copy & pasted stuff into one email, once I saw it, I knew it was fake, no doubt about it. The next spammer, from phone number (702) 847-0477, texted me saying "Hello , do you still have your listed 2007 yAMAHA for sale ? if yes you can get back to me via my email: (weltfordbily011@gmail.com) with your last asking price and its present condition.. Thanks" HAHA not falling for it this time, looked up the email before I emailed him and that's how I found this page.

I got this exact same text from this exact same number....

Then he emailed me this;

Thanks for the swift response and do as well advise on the least
amount you will like to give it away as i am buying this for Dad and
due to the nature of my job and location...i will not be able to come
for inspection,am a very busy type as i work long hours everyday,i
have gone through your advertisement and i am satisfied with it.As for
the payment..i can only pay via the fastest and secure way to pay
online(PayPal) here.I have a private courier agent that will come for
the pick up after the payment have been made ...so no shipping
included and With the issue of my details,transferring the name of
ownership and signing of all paperwork will be done by the courier
services company agent so you don't have to worry about that.You can
now send me your PayPal email so i can pay in right away and also
include your address in your reply.If you don't have a paypal
account, you can easily set up one...log on to www.paypal.com and
sign up its very easy... i would have loved to talk to you on phone

Wow! I was curious whether this was a "scam" --- how funny that other people have posted this?

Same text...Same e-mail. If it sounds too good to be true, it is. Not probably...is.

Cash only. That's what I'm going with.

360-565-5457 was the number.

this number continues to text me asking for my e-mail address in relation to an ad on cycletrader.com. All they're doing is fishing for my e-mail so they can add it some list to sell. I respond to their e-mail from my Yahoo account, which I don't care if it gets spammed or sold, since I hardly ever use it. the e-mail they want me to respond to is davidmark01234@gmail.com This is the message they send "hello do you still have your listed BIKE for sale if yes you can get back to me in private email (davidmark01234@gmail.com with your asking price..." I've also gotten the "can't come for inspection due to my job....this is for my Dad, etc, etc" I know the FCC could get involved, but these criminals would do it again from a different number. I think the next ad I create will have a bogus phone number.
