Craigslist fraud????????????????????..!


Question: Craigslist fraud!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
so heres the story!.!.!. i sold my sisters pink zune on craigslist for 135 bucks!. I got a few different replies, but one of them was from this person(idk man or woman), and they said that they would like to buy it for its original price for 260 for their son who is in west africa right now and he is out of town, and they want to know my Paypal ID number so they can transfer me money so then i can mail it to him!.!?!?!?

That was retardly fishy!. i emailed him saying that i dont think i can trust this!. the ad had my number on it so i told him to call me!. he said where he is he cant get phone connection!. ARE YOU IN FREAKIN AFRICA TOO!?

obviously im not gonna trust that!.!.!. so i didnt do anything with him!. but, so i answered one of my other replies for the zune who asked if it ws still available(a compeltely different Email and name) and he replied back saying that he would like it for his son who is overseas right now and he would pay me a 100 dollars to mail it to him because he is out of town!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!. WHAT!?!!?! are you the same freakin guy!? wouldnt it be obvious if you tried to scam the same person twice with the same item!?!? toooo obvious!?!?!!?!!?! bleh!.!.!.!.

i am so confused!. but i know not to trust them!. im no idiot!. but!.!.!.!. it jsut confuses me soo much!. I hate that there are people out there trying to scam people like this and its so tempting because they are giving you double the money!. but seriously!?!?!? why dont they buy A NEW ONE of they are soo rich!? and if you are so rich!.!. why look on god damn craigslist for a used item!?!?

please reply to my question!.!. i really want to know what you think!. do you think it could have been true!? or do you think its some Huge scam!? idk

Answers:
never send anything to africa!. i had a friend that lost her laptop by doing that!. they guy said he would pay for the shipping and the computer so he paied threw paypal!. she saw the funds and sent it out!. but then when she went to get the money, it wasnt there!.!.!.!.!. also at my work we get calls all the time from people from africa that wanna buy like 1000 of one part ( i work at a car dealership) and in the past we sent it there, and we didnt get the money!. i heard something about they used their card with paypal, show that its in transaction and people send!. then they refund the transaction, take their money back before you know it!. because credit card transactions take a few days to see!. it happends all the time!. only do local or shipping threw the us!. never overseas is what i recomend!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

It's a scam!. Only sell items to people that will pay you in cash, in person!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

They are both definitely scams!. You did the right thing!. They offer you double the money to entice you to do business with them!. Generally, they will send you a money order of some type that is counterfeit!. However, usually by the time the bank realizes it, you have already sent the item and the bank will charge you or take the money out of your account!. In addition, sometimes they are trying to get your personal information and will in turn use it for identify theft crimes!. You wouldn't believe the number of scams that are on craigslist and similar sites!. They will post jobs and even houses for rent in order to get your information or money from you!.
As a rule of thumb, I wouldn't do craiglist business with anyone who says they are in another country or want you to send it overseas!.

Yeah, you know it's a scam typically because of the funky name, the fact that they're located in Ghana (or anywhere but not the US), the horrible grammar and spelling, the fact that the scam sometimes has nothing to do with the product/service you are offering, and in this case, when I replied and told him I suspected he was attempting to scam me, he wrote "F*ck you!"Www@Enter-QA@Com
