Hi,
Am glad it’s available. I’m going on a vacation to London but I will instruct my assistant to prepare and mail your payment which I’m sure you will get in about 4 – 6 business days. I’ll add $20 extra for the delay. I’ll pay by M O or cashier check so send me your info (i.e full name, mailing address and your phone number) so payment can be mailed out immediately. I will also make arrangement for pick-up which will be after you must have received and cashed the payment. Awaiting your info.
Thanks

“Hello Alexandria.
I got your email, and thanks so much for getting back to me.

I’m happy that the item is still up available for sale.

I think I have considered the price of your (HTC Sensation) okay for me.

But I would love to purchase it for my son who is right in Africa for his international studies as a surprise package for I know it will be of a WONDERFUL XMAS SURPRISE PACKAGE to him.

However,I reside in #16 Harvard Street Nashua,New Hampshire.

Please I would love to see the package locally and pay for it BUT due to distance and the nature of my work as a CHARTERED ACCOUNTANT,I have a tight job schedule as an accountant,am always busy all day doing so many office work.

But if you can send me the picture personally to me through e-mail,I would really appreciate it.

Please remove your ad of the item from craigslist and consider it already sold to me.

I would be sending you a total of $440 to cover for the package and for the shipment cost/insurance to him through USPS EXPRESS MAIL.

Please I would not like to make mistake when sending the money order payment to you at your residence/address.

Just Send me correctly:

Full Name
Contact Address
City
State
Zip/Postal Code

Immediately,I will send you a money order payment that will be delivered to you at your house/residence.
I assure you that once I receive your information for the payment,I will send out the payment to you quickly.

OR WOULD YOU PREFER PAYPAL?SEND ME YOUR PAYPAL REQUEST.

I await to hear from you as soon as possible so that I can make the payment as fast as I can.

Thanks.
Sarah.”

I actually responded and after multiple emails, I received two MO of 955$ each two days later! I fell for it but not all the way through. I DID NOT CASH IT IN. THE MO’S WERE OBVIOUSLY FAKE and I am going to report it to the police (maybe). Wow, I feel stupid but not enough to fall for it completely.

Emails were: johnpilek@gmail.com and avimperman@gmail.com.

Aliases were: Matthew Reberry, Matthew Rubbery, Wilson Bishop

BEWARE.

I then got an email last night that read very similar to your response. The payment was sent to me for too much and can I forward the remainder of the payment to her daughter for her wedding expenses. The other thing is the extreme poor grammer this person has.

I called her on it and told her I was very suspicious and I plan to cut ties with her.

Thanks for the post of this to help me have double assurance that someone is TRYING to scam me. Not today SISTA!!!!!!

What exactly is happening to you? Maybe if you explain, I can think of how to halt a transaction, or think of recourse. But I would need to know where you are in the process first.

“Thanks for the prompt response to my mail. I will be buying it from you so please kindly withdraw the advert . Please to be informed that i will pay you with a Cashier Check and once you have the check cashed at your bank then i will arrange for the pick up at your place..I will need the following details to mail the payment as soon

All of the other ones I just emailed back and told them cash only pick up.
