I had the same experience with an item i was selling on crags list the conversation was almost verbatim to yours I just want to add his e-mail to the list that you all have compilled . ([email protected] )

Welcome to scamwarners and thank you for posting the email address ( [email protected] ) of the scammer.

Hi Everyone

I've just had a Travis Lyon email me. I'm selling a wedding dress on Gumtree and he contacted me wanted to buy it. He said it was for his pastor daughter. Alarm bells rang for me as his email address was [email protected] - which makes him 24yrs old. Also his name is very English but his english on email was very poor. He was very adament to proceed with a transaction via PayPal. He sent me his shipping agent details which are:

Name: Fred Hanson
Address:1521 Skipper Ave Str
City: Eugene
State: Oregon
Country: United States
Post Code: 97404

This is the same as what has been posted above. Please watch out for this scam. He wanted to know my home address to arrange a pick up. God knows what would have happened if I gave this to him.

Watch out guys!

I'm glad that you recognized this as a scammer, because it certainly is.

Anyone replying to an online classified and sending you to a "shipping agent" is pretty much going to be a scammer, and any mention of moneygram or Western Union is a sign to walk away.

I will point out, though, that you might filter out innocent people when making assumptions about a year in an address. While many people certainly do use their birth year, there are people who use years that are significant to them for other reasons--for example, year of graduation, or of birth of a child, or year of some event that was of importance in their lives.

This scammer is now attempting an advance fee scam. The scammer will promise you money. He will want you to send fees to himself or another party that is part of his crime. You have not won any prize or money. Do not send him or anyone you never personally met money via Western Union or Money Gram.

Updating with another scam this group will attempt. This scam is an employment scam. The Check or Money Order will be fake. The scammer will have you deposit the fake funds and send money to the painter via Western Union or Money Gram.

Your bank may accept the check or fake money order. Day or weeks later your bank will inform you that the funds were fake. You will have to repay the money back to the bank, possibly reported for fraud and you will never get your money back that you sent to the scammer.

This script could be easily changed by the scammer as in who to send the payment to (Agent,gardener, maid, lawyer, etc. The rate of pay could also be changed.

This scammer has started to use a new reason why he can not come see the item.
In this scam the scammer will send you a fake PayPal payment with an amount over the price you are asking. He tell you that the money is on hold until you send the over payment via Western Union or Money Gram to his fake shipper / agent. He does not want your item. He is attempting to steal your money. Nothing he says is real. Any type of payment he sends you will be fake.

Thanks for the detailed explanation. Am really satisfied and I
appreciate your honesty,I think your price is quite okay, (1)What is
the condition? (2) What is the actual price as your last offer on it
I'm buying this as surprise re-union gift for my dad so I

would have love to come at least to see what am buying but I've just
been discharged from the hospital due to a bomb blast injury I
sustained while on duty service in Kabul Afghanistan and my Orthopedic
doctor advice that I should be on wheelchair for 3months for the bone
to recuperate. I will start making arrangement concerning the pickup
at your place once I read back from you so you've got nothing to worry
about am going to handle shipping. Regarding payment, I will be making
payment via my secure paypal account so I need you to get back to me
with your paypal email address, pickup address, so I can proceed on
with making the payment in a meaningful time frame. I look forward
reading back from you.

I just received an updated address the scammer will want you to ship in Nigeria.

All right,here is the shipping address:

Name:-Omoniyi Tunde
Address:- 40 Obafemi Awolowo Way
City :-Abeokuta
State :-Ogun State
Zip Code:-23403
Country:-Nigeria

Hope to read back from you soon so that i can make the payment immediately.

This scammer is now doing Craigslist job scams ( Driver , Cleaner , Job ). He will send a fake check or fake PayPal payment (Emails will not be from PayPal) as an upfront salary payment. He then will have the victim send an over payment via Western Union or Money Gram to his Agent or third party. The scammer is playing all roles in this scam.

He may have you be a money mule and receive Western Union or Money Gram payments from other victims. Do not do it. You will be the only one Law Enforcement will find and charge. The scammer is not using his real name or phone number. His text / phone number is a Google Voice number. His email and name is fictitious. His IP is forged. He is in Lagos, Nigeria more than likely in an Internet Café used by many people.
