Hi,I am very keen. How i wish i could come and view what am buying from you in person but am currently overseas at the moment and want it picked up and delivered to my address before i get back, though i will be back in couple of weeks. Due to my inability to make a bank deposit, I would be paying via PayPal which is safer for me. Kindly send me a PayPal payment invoice or create an account at http://www.PayPal.com if you don't have one.I will also make a concrete pick up arrangement with a transport agent who will be coming over for the pick up once you receive full payment into your PayPal account. Have a nice day.

Get back to me as soon as possible.

Thanks.

Simon Dominic.

They seem to always use two email accounts, one for initial contact and another for responses.

I have the exact same email sent to me for a $7500 Horse trailer. Used different email address both times. Is there anyway I can report this address to paypal or craigslist? See below:

Craigslist provides a link to report scams in the email that comes from them. That may be why scammers use two different email addresses. You can also report it to paypal and the federal government.
In a google box type "report paypal scams to federal government" and you will find directions on reporting these scams.
I hope this helps.

I had a quick question. I recently posted a listing on Craigslist to sell my laptop and a bunch of other electronic items. The first response I have received is from Simon Dominic <[email protected]>.

He asked me if my laptop is still available since he is interested. I responded immediately but did not hear back from him. After a little while got suspicious and googled his name only to find this post.

Possible for someone to confirm if this id is fraudulent and if I should continue my interaction with him? Thank you! I appreciate any response.

Best,
Sudeshna
