CRAIG'S LIST SCAM. I have items for sale on Craig's list and he was trying to get me to open a Paypal account. Supposedly, he's off-shore but wants my outdoor plants and furniture for his company. Most likely he's part of the Nigerian scam group. His usage of English is off and he kept referring to my post as "item" when in-fact, we had listed several items for sale. Here is his email below.

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.
