Another scam via Craigslist: offering more than asking price

king.lil0015@gmail.com Here is his email. He's now threatened me with legal action if I don't send him his money. He attached a photo of an FBI badge to his email. Ooooh... scary barry!! LOL What a loser!

watch out for this loser!

I just got the below email from jim holland .
I'm glad you still have it for sale,i would have love to come and see it,but my scheduled is very tight.I will mail out your payment once you provide your full name.phone number and address.I can only pay via money order as am on a business trip now,pls let me know where to send your payment to because i wouldn't want to lose it to some else.I don't mind adding ($20) dollars so you can keep it in my favor,you should get your payment in 7-9 working days i will appreciate if you can get the ad off craigslist so i can be sure you are keeping it in my favor.Please let me know as soon as you receive it so i can start making arrangement for the pick-up.
Thanks ...

I only googled it because the email address was a .org and was cautious about it. thanks for the info

I also received the following email from "Tatrina Johnsons" - they offered to buy furniture when I was selling china....guess they mixed mine up with another seller they're trying to scam.

Thanks for your timely response to my inquiries . I would love to make
an instant purchase of furniture. Please do withdraw the advert from
craigslist as I don't mind adding $50 for you to do that, so I can be
rest assured that the item is held for me. I will be leaving for
Hawaii with my Husband for our Honeymoon, we just got married and I
would want surprise inclusion in our home on our arrival.
I will be paying via certified check and I wouldn't know if that is
acceptable by you, if you concur with me on my mode of payment then
kindly provide me with your full name and physical address (not P.O
Box)along with your phone number to issue out the payment. I'll be
picking the item from you with the aid of a mover who will be coming
over for the pick-up once the Certified Check has been cashed .I hope
to enjoy it as much as did.Please get back to me with the information
necessary.

Thank you.

Tatrina Johnsons

watch out for this scammer on craigslist

Hi,
Thanks for your response. I'm going on a vacation to London but I will instruct my assistant to prepare and mail your payment which I'm sure you will get in about 4 - 6 business days. I'll add $20 extra for the delay. I'll pay by M O or cashier check so send me your info (i.e full name, mailing address and your phone number) so payment can be mailed out immediately. I will also make arrangement for pick-up which will be after you must have received and cashed the payment.
Awaiting your info.
Thanks
Ben

I urgently have to bring something to your notice. I just found out that my Assistant overpaid you. The payment meant for another transaction was made out in your name and sent to you. However I want to believe I wont have a problem with you on this. Once you receive the payment, Please proceed to the bank and cash the payment, deduct your money and send back the balance to me via western union. So I can proceed with arrangement for pick-up. Once more, I hope I can fully trust you with this? I will await your response on this so my mind can be at rest.
Thanks
Ben

Please let me know if you have received payment I am in London at the moment. If you have, you can go ahead and get it cashed at your bank, deduct your payment and send the balance via western union to the following details:

NAME OF RECEIVER: BENARD HOWARD
ADDRESS: 6 Waterloo Place,
CITY: LONDON
COUNTRY: UNITED KINGDOM
ZIP CODE: SW1Y 4AN

Please make sure you take care of everything today and send me the transfer details i.e Money Transfer Cotrol Number (MTCN) and the total amount sent after charges. I will need the money to take care of some pressing bills and pay for pick-up.
Waiting to read from you.
Ben

Hello,
I am glad it is still available for sale.I am very much interested in buying your item and i am ok with the price. I am only able to make payment by money order at this time b/c i am away on assignment. Please provide me with your name , address and phone number for payment. It will take about 7days for payment to get to you. As per pick-up, I will make arrangement for the pick-up after payment has been received by you. I don't mind adding thirty dollars so you can keep it in my favor.Please take the posting off craigslist today and consider it sold to me. Thanks
Expecting to hear from you soon.
Regards

I replied that I don't deal with scammers.
