Funny I got an email from Clint Davidson with the same phone number wanting me to ship my camera to Africa for his "traveling daughter". I knew that was bullsh** as soon as I read it. Thought I would do a search on his name just to confirm my smell of BS and found this.
Some people!!!

This # is such a scam. I got almost the same thing.

I got the same message and responded with this:

I just want to let you know the only reason im selling this laptop is my power bill of 342.58 is due. Im a single mother of 3 the youngest being 10months old. IF this is a scam do you realize what you would be doing to my 3 small children and myself. We would be living in a house with no power to provide for my family. My husband died a 6 months ago today. No insurance of life insurance policy. This is about all I have in the world to make enough so they dont turn off my power. If you are indeed serious...May God bless us both. If not would you sleep well at night know you contributed to our downfall... Please respond with your intent. If you would just reply either way with your honest reply It would be appreciated...Thank you and God Bless.......

LETS SEE IF I GET A REPLY AND SEE HOW BOLD THIS SUCKER IS...

Got the same "number" but this time it was a "...Mississppi resident that was also a school choch residing in London....."

Wanted PayPal, of course...........

Dumb,  BS.....

Beware.

And the scam continues. I posted a laptop on craigslist last night.

Same exact thing happened to me and the same way but he used the name Tim Doug with the same phone number 206-666-1296. It's fake and he said he paid my pay pal account and demanded a tracking number. This is a big scam.

Thank

All right I have a new one on a laptop I was selling on craigs list. Wanted it sent to Nigeria with an extra $200 for shipping. Said she was using Orion Money Order to send payment and wanted me to send it to her son through a internet friend. Her name was Mary Masha but had the same phone number. This is all good to know, so that I didn't make the mistake of sending the laptop out. Thanks again.

Thanks for posting the warning about this guy. I got similar inquiries for a PSP I was selling on Craigslist and felt it wasn't legit based on his verbage. Below is what he wrote me:

Hello,
Thanks for getting back to me. I am from Washington and am also an Artist residing in London. Am still in State now for a break, but will soon be leaving for England to resume work. The [PSP+games - $110] is for my Son's Birthday present, he travelled to spend a lil time with his dad where he works in the US consulate office in West Africa, because of his little research. I'll be paying you through Paypal Account. It secures and protects two parties in a transaction. Through Paypal I can pay by credit card or bank account.
I will like you to provide your Paypal Account for payment
to be made and send to your account before you ship it. I'll include $45 for the shipping. I will forward My husband's Residential address with Paypal to you for
shipping as soon as the payment reaches you. I will be very grateful to hear from you soonest. Thanks for your understanding.
Regards,

Hmm, I have an item listed on Craig's list right now and this is the number of the person who wants to buy it. The language was odd which is why I looked up the number and found this thread. He says he's been looking for a long time for what I'm selling for his daughter as a "special surprise"

his name is HEnry JOssy now

Really, you;d think someone with a UK Yahoo account would not try to pretend to be from Philadelphia in the U.S. Plus area code 206 is from Seattle, Washington. Sheesh, can't scammers put some effort into it anymore!

All I have to say it thank God for google.  I got an e-mail message from tim.doug01@yahoo.com. this morning saying that he was extremely interested in my camera that I have for sale on craigslist.  He told me to send him an invoice through paypal and that he would take care of the shipping.  All I had to do was enter the e-mail address in google and a number of different websites came up.  Thank God for these websites and people like you guys that post information.  I feel greatful that I didn't get ripped off.  Thank you.

Has anyone called the number?

Jason Stull got on myspace last night and we talked for hours..
He gave me a number to text him at in South Africa,said he wanted $170.00 for his internet bill in Africa..
He would not give me his address.. I gave him a fake one of mine..
I had to leave and he was so sad..Yeah right, he claimed he would come see me in a week, on his way home to NJ Said is address was in Morristown, NJ Said he had a check with him in SOUTH Africa and could not cash it cause there were alot of scamers in that country.
I asked if he had a Western Union he said yes there was one in the Country of Nigeria, State of Lagos, City of Ikeja  zipcode 23401
I knew when he gave me the zipcode it was fake.
I told him I could not send him the money till Friday the 30th 2010.
But after reading this I have changed my mind,.
the # in africa that he gave me was 011-234-8027203424.  The # in the states he gave me was 973-539-4520 He had a myspace account that is how he found me.. Claimed that now that he found me he would not need it anymore so he deleted it..
