Craigslist, Ebay and other online buying/selling scams.
by jaysonrf Thu Jan 03, 2013 1:53 pm
This person used an Ebay account that didnt belong to them initially but EBAY caught it. I had the same product listed on craigslist. They got my phone number from the craigslist ad. They text me a few times and then said they bought the item. They said they were buying a present and the money was sent to Paypal. I got an email from, [email protected] that looked very real. It had a PayPal webpage on it with images and seals, the email read: (thats listed below). The phone number now disconected is 234-738-1265, i tried a reverse search but it is a number run through Google somehow. The emil origin is Gmail as well, it is maked a few times but its gmail as you can see below. What's amazing is Google will sell our information they gather from our emails and everything wed search ung Google and sell the info. to marketing companies but they wont track and prosecute these guys knowing they are the only organization that has access to the info. It would be simple for them. They say in the email that the money will show in your paypal account once you get the tracking info. They want you to ship it thinking your paid or will be paid. Even if Ebay sends a notice of sale be sure the money is in your paypal account.

Hello,

I am updating this as of today. I put a post on Craigslist in Kansas City, MO area

I got a response from [email protected] <[email protected]>;

[email protected] <[email protected]>;

Ok I am willing to buy the ring for my fiancé for Xmas
and am sending you $450 plus $50 for shipment so get
back to me with your PayPal info so I can send the money.
I am hoping this's not a scam because I have friends who
have fall victim. God bless you.

So I am new to all of this and gave her my paypal information. I check with paypal and its bad account. The email I got from paypal for this person look real:

You received a payment of $500.00 USD from Don Frank ([email protected]).
supposed shipping address:

I responded:

I just want to make sure before I go to FedEx tonight the address I am to ship is:

Plot 50a apple junction
Lagos
Festac town
Nigeria
Postal code:23401?

The response was yes.
They wanted me to ship it to:

Name: Gabriel Adeniji
Address:Plot 50A Apple junction, festac town
State:Lagos
City:Festac
Country:Nigeria
Zip/Postal code:23401

I confront the person and she said oo I really sent you the money. I didn't go no further. So adding this to this post to just warn people that this address is still being used as for scams. I am sure the person is fake but just heads up to everyone.

Thanks for posting . There are quite a few pay pal scams . It sounds like you probably received a spoofed paypal email . Some of the other scams use hacked paypal accounts .
