Classified Ads Scam
Craigslist (craiglist.com) |  +2 Motor home on Craigslist buyer scam "Jessica" responded to my craigslist add about a motor home for sale. Told me that she is shopping for "Tommy", who is too busy to shop himself. Jessica told me to email Tommy at tommyclark001@gmail.com. No explanation why Jessica can't email the link to Tommy. Seems that someone wants to get my email address real bad. Jessica texted me within 15 minutes of the listing being made by me. |

Texted regarding an RV I had for sale. "Beth" directed me to this email address. I inquired and was sent a bogus email about the potential buyer being out of the country and in the military. They wanted to send someone to pick it up. It is a definite scam.

Thanks for the e-mail,
My name is Tyler William, Am buying this for a cousin and I am not in town at the moment because am in the Airforce and I am (U.S.A.F) SMSgt E-8 and have been in base for some time also we are not allowed to make or receive calls frequently for security reasons but we have internet access and that is our major means of communication to the outside world. So can you assure me i will not be disappointed buying this from you ? I have a mover that will come for pickup once payment clears first.

Received this from "Lori" wanting me to email a Craigslist posting to TOMMY at tommyclark001@gmail.com. Checked the email address in Google and found out TOMMY must be interested in a lot of things. This is a scam! They want your email address. Usually they will offer the amount you asked or even higher to pay for accounting charges and time. You'll get a nice big check in the mail and told to freight the item. By the time you find out the bank doesn't have TOMMY under accounts, you lost the item plus a fake check fee ($25-50)
