Craigslist, Ebay and other online buying/selling scams.

Online Buyer Scammer

[email protected]

Claims to be in Houston, Texas and has stolen the name and address of real person living there.
Real location Lagos, Nigeria


This is an overpayment scam:
This is usually where the victim is selling an item online. The scammer does not want your 'item'. The scammer will indicate interest in buying the item but want to send a FAKE check for more than the asking price for the item, requesting the seller to cash or deposit the check and send the overage to a third party, often a supposed shipping company. The "shipping company" or other third party is either the same scammer or his accomplice.

Sounds Good,
I am ready to purchase it asap. I anticipate that I'll have a Certified Check issued out to you from my bank.I'm in no rush with you till fund's are cleared in your bank. You do not have to bother yourself about the pick up. I'll instruct a Shipping Co. Agent to come for pickup at your door when you must have gotten your cash at hand. Kindly e-mail me back with your physical address such as Name,Address, City, State, Zip-code, Phone Number. I will be sending the payment via FedEx Mail Service 2nd day delivery. You can proceed to take off the ad on craigslist because I don't want any other interruption by another buyer, so get back to me with your full name and address with your phone number to mail out the check to you tomorrow.


If you receive and cash a fake check it will cause you legal and financial problems. If you send money to the third party YOU will be out that money.

If you gave your bank account or credit card information to these scammers, you need to contact your bank's fraud department or the credit card company and explain what happened and what information you gave, and request help in making sure you are safe. If you gave sensitive information like a social security number to the scammers, you need to take steps to protect your identity.

If you did not give any of this information to the scammers, then other than possibly receiving more emails and/or scam attempts from them, including threatening emails from the "FBI" (which are entirely fake), there is nothing to be concerned about.

Welcome to Scamwarners. I'd post a translation, but "Nigeria", "Paypal", and 4470 number are enough to positively identify it as scam.
For your own protection, I suggest you edit your name and email address from your post. Although a moderator will be along shortly to do it.
