Craigslist, Ebay and other online buying/selling scams.

Just last night I had the same thing happen to me. I have my laptop for sale on kijiji and this guy sent me an email after I told him that it is still for sale.

"Thanks for reply, i am a marine engineer, i am at sea right now. I
am buying this for my son as a surprise gift. I can only pay through
paypal at the moment as i don't have access to my bank account online(i
dont have internet banking with it), but i have it attached to my
paypal account, and this is why i insisted on using paypal to pay,all
iwill need is your paypal email address to make the payment, and if
you dont have a paypal account yet, you can set one it cant take you
less than 3mins to do that, i will be expecting your paypal email so l
can pay. I have a pick up agent that will come for the pick up after
payment has been sorted, l will be waiting for your reply asap."


His email and phone number is... [email protected] and 1(605)546-7813, unfortunately I didn't get a name from him. It is so sick that he's using a marine engineer as a cover.

The whole paypal thing set me off since I know kijiji suggests dealing with cash only so I immediately googled "Kijiji paypal scam" and it brought me here. Thank you for making this post.
