  3. Another form of Internet Fraud: Usenet Forsale Scam

By Khalid on 2006/08/08 - 10:12, last updated 2006/08/08 - 10:12

Here is a classic scam from Craigslist.They offer to buy your item you advertised via classified for more money than you ask for ($375 in my case, he offered $500).They even give you a bleeding heart story about wife dying in accident.

From: ike derico Alright,i live in North Georgia United State.Am quite comfortable with the condition of the item since i wont be making any repairs on it,i will like to offer you $500 including packing materials without you paying for any shipping charges b'cos i already have an account with FedEx,i would have loved to make the payment in cash and carry but we are not in the same state so i will like to go ahead with the payment by sending you a Money Order But i will need your contact infomation in which the money will be deliver ok.I wonna buy this [item name] for my step son to fulfill the promise his mum made before she died,i lost my lovely wife to an auto accident on 29th of June 2005 and since then i and her step son john have been living seperately and i want to buy this item for him because his mom promised him before death took her away from us and i think with this i and tobi can live as a family. Kindly get back to me immediately you receive my e-mail and i will like you to take it off craigslist for auction cos am serious in buying it.So let me have your full infomation ofr pyment to be made.... Best Regards. .I.Derico

Note how they can't pick up proper English names? I got another from 'ortega hanson'.

Hello,Thanks very much for getting back to me ,I will like to tell you thatthe payment would be sent by UPS courier company or FEDEX companycourier and the item will be picked up as soon as you receive mypayment,I will wait for the payment to get cashed before i'd send myshipper for the pick up.I will like to tell you that i would besending a check worth of $3200 covering the shipment of the item. andthe money for the item should be $850.As soon as certified checkreaches you,have it cashed and remove your money for the item and sendthe remaining fund to my shipper by western union money transfer.Myshipper is also picking some of my other items up for me in the samecity of yours, so that is why i need to give him that amount.I willlike you to remove $100 for your running around in getting the checkcashed...pls let me know if i can trust you on this..Regards

What if i got him mail check should i cash all out without wire and i wont wire that shit!

If i will ask full cash out not wire nothing at all? And notice his engish is AWFUL!!!!!

I will like you to know that you will not be responsible for shipping

I just got scammed through ubs850@hotmail.com & sendteam@usa.com

Tue, 2010/09/07 - 14:40

sendteam@usa.com was representing Paypal customer care
ubs850@hotmail.com was having name Tina Johnson.

Surprisingly I got the email from service@paypal.com but it was a fake transaction, which I realized after 4-5 days but by that time I didn't have any option to cancel the delivery & all.
