| Al Brillman Beloit, WI, United States 2012-06-19 12:17:54 Classified Ads Scam Craigslist (craiglist.com) | +1 Craigslist - Paypal This is the thread regarding a boat lift I had listed for sale on Craigslist. \"My response\" just advised that it was available. I checked with Paypal and they advised it was phishing. This individual uses variations in the email addy\'s.
Thanks for the swift response...I am ok with the asking price.due to
the nature of my job and location,i will not be able to come for
inspection because i work long hours everyday,i have gone through your
advertisement and i am satisfied with it.i will be paying you via the
fastest and secure way to pay online(PayPal).
I have a private courier agent that will come for the pick up after
the payment have been made.You can now send me your PayPal email so i
can pay in right away and also include your address in your reply.If
you don\'t have a paypal account, you can easily set up one.log on to
www.paypal.com and sign up. its very easy.
Hope to hear from you soon..
Thanks

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.
