Great,I just wanted to make sure nothing is been left out,I am quite
okay with your price, I need you to understand that I am willing and
ready to purchase it right away,put it off the AD site and consider me
as your favorite buyer, Please note that I have a shipper/mover who
handles my shipping arrangement anywhere in the world,he would be
coming for the pickup, after you have received payment, which would be
through paypal, If this is acceptable, advice soon as I am an
hydrographer and I am buying this for my son,I am at work right now .I
can only pay through pay pal at the moment as I do not have access to
my bank account online,but I have it attached to ay pal account,and
this is why I insisted on using pay pal to pay,all I will need is your
pay pal email address to make the payments.In the meantime,can you
send me more pictures (if available)? I want you to provide me with
the following information for me to
proceed with the Payment...

1) Are you the Owner?
2) Pick up Location?
3) Your PayPal Email ID to effect the payment
4)what is The final Price
5)is there any other issues with the item not mentioned on Craigslist?
6)kindly remove the post from craigslist

I would be glad to make the payment immediately through PayPal so
kindly get back to me with your PayPal ID. You need not to worry
yourself about title transfer and shipment,i will instruct the
shipping company to handle that therefore in order to complete the
transaction do get back to me with your PayPal ID and total cost so
that I can make the payment asap. I will
be waiting for your reply!

Thanks and God bless

Scammers are persistent and keep at it because once in a while, their scam and lies pay off. It is sad but a reality. Thank you for posting.

Welcome to Scamwarners JRACER and thanks for taking the trouble to post his latest addresses.

They're like cockroaches and you can't stop them, but you can make them less effective, and by working together we can prevent people who do a Google search becoming victims.

As we learn their latest tactics we can also point out the signs to watch out for. Those who are careful can avoid the scammers.

CAR ADVERTS - If a car seller mentions escrow - he's scamming you Never ever for any reason pay anything until you have seen and inspected the vehicle

Well I just got this email for a car that I am selling. I thought it was suspicious and thankfully I Googled the name and email address and found this site. I joined and am posting this reply to keep this name active as he is still working the scam. One question I do have is what do most people do after you get the email? Do you just delete it or reply that you are not interested? I also sent the email to Paypal.

PS: I think I got an initial email from this guy and he asked for my direct email address and naturally I sent it to him.

Thank god i read this.I am selling on Gum tree and straight away got the i am at sea and an engineer on a rig story.Says her name is Susan .I ask for license number their details so i can fill out the rego disposal form.they replied with full details.I am sure they must be fake.Its just to obvious.At first i was almost fooled,but became suspicious after examining reply email closer.I am trying to sell a $12000 car and they are willing to buy without even looking at it.Give me a break.I have sold cars before and no one in their right mind would do such a thing.
SELLER BE WARY,STAY AWAY FROM THESE PEOPLE THEY MEAN YOU NO GOOD,and thank you scam warners for confirming my fears.

I just got this exact same thing on a ksl classifieds post for a motorcycle. The email I had was from a [email protected] with Jack Wedding as the name and then on the reply he sent that from the [email protected] email address.

After I received that email, I looked up Jack Wedding and found you people. Thank you!!!!

One question I have for you who have experienced Jack and his many names and emails....do they leave you alone after? I told him I found his information on a scam notification site and that I'm out and junk mailed his emails. Anyone have any additional issues with him or does he give up?

Welcome to ScamWarners Page76, yes, just leave a scammer alone once you realize he is a scammer.

It is illegal to spam another person's email account, even if they are a scammer. Trying to get back at a scammer is like trying to teach a pig to sing. You will just be frustrated and the pig will be slightly annoyed.

I would be glad to make the payment immediately through PayPal so kindly get back to me with your PayPal ID. You need not to worry yourself about title transfer and shipment,i will instruct the shipping company to handle that therefore in order to complete the
