Classified Ads Scam
Craigslist (craiglist.com) |  +2 Henry Edward scam I advertised wheels and tires on craigslist. First email came over and I answered through my phone. So it didn\'t flag. I received another tonight, below is the email.
It brought up a red flag when I saw two different types of emails and then did a search for the name.

I posted on Craigslist an ad for an air compressor and received a response from Henry Edward. His response email seemed a little off, stating,
"Payment will be sent using PayPal and i will handle the PayPal surcharge as well. I will arrange with someone to have this picked up for your location once i have paid as i
am out of town at the moment...i hope you have a paypal account. If you have one already, just send me the address to send it to, which is the email address you use for it or you can send me a paypal money request, so once i receive the details i will go ahead with the payment through PayPal and then i will contact my shipping company after you get the payment.
I will need your home address for the merchandise to be Picked Up by
the Shipping Company."
I did a google search of both his emails and found this site and stopped all communication with the said "Henry Edward."
Since you’re here …
we have a small favour to ask. More people are visting Scamdex and Scamalot than ever but advertising revenues are falling fast and we have no 'product' to sell.
And unlike many informational websites, we haven’t put up a paywall or membership barrier – we want to keep our site as open as we can.
So you can see why we need to ask for your help. Scamdex/Scamalot websites takes a lot of time, money and hard work to keep running. We do this because we
hate to see our fellow humans getting scammed out of their hard-earned money by low-lives.
