They will probably want an upfront payment for the return - and I will bet they will want it in the form of Western Union or a moneypak from Wal-Mart.

Received a test message from Monica saying she found my wallet and if I could give out personal details she would send the wallet to me through DHL.I had lost my wallet on the 7th and posted an ad on craigslist lost and found.
Contacted my bank, DHL and the police.

On 2/3/2013 I got the following text message from 703-662-3324:
"(1/2) Hello,My name is monicai'm a deaf A Purse was found and If you can name whats UInside the Purse and where you lost it and described the wallet to me.U also provide correct information with your full name and address matching the UID it willl be returned,My name is Monica"
(That's exactly how it was typed.)
This must have been in response to a Craigslist lost & found ad I had posted a week earlier. Do NOT reply to this number. It would be a good idea to report it to the police. This is obviously a scam.

This IS A SCAM, I also posted an ad for a lost iphone, got a text from "Monica" a few days later claiming she would send it through dhl, then got an obviously fake email from "dhl", did more research, DO NOT reply to them. Huge scam.

SCAM DO NOT REPLY! I have a lost dog posted on craigslist and received a text from a Tim.
Congratulations your dog was found also have your dog code for the confirmation to look your dog through your phone & once you receive a call from CL pick the call and tell them the code number about your dog okay regards Tim........ I have 2 ads on Craigslist for 2 different dogs and owners helping to find their dogs and got this text twice in a row. They're preying on the owners sympathy.
