Craigslist scam... We are selling a boat and this is what we received in the spam. Same thing as the other gal. The problem with paypal is they can cancel their payment within a two week period and you do not have a recourse. Especially if the paypal is tied to their bank account (or someone's that they are scamming)
Thanks for your mail,I will not be coming to view it because of my
Job,i am an oceanist and i am buying this for my Dad. i accept your
offer and i will be happy to accept my offer.I can only pay through
paypal at the moment as i don't have access to my bank account
online,but i have it attached to my paypal account, and this is why i
insisted on using paypal to pay,all i will need is your paypal email
address to make the payments,and if you don't have a paypal account
yet,its pretty easy to set one up at www.paypal.com i will be
expecting your email. my mover will come for arrange to pick up after
payment clear .Thanks and nice doing business with you...i hope we can
make the purchase as fast as possible?

Selling my 350z...
First email...
"Just viewed your list and will like to purchase and please what is the
condition and kindly send me more details about it with your final
price."
My response...
"If you would like to see the car and possibly test drive it today, I'm available. The car is well described in the ad and the desired price is listed."
This is his second email

Sounds "funny" to me...
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.
