206-666-1926

I posted a laptop on Craigslist and received an email from Jason Stull with this number 206-666-1926. His offer seems to be pishy because he is asking me to send him my laptop to Africa. I will pass on the offer and want to warn everyone to be careful with this buyer.

Here is a quote from the email:

For the payment to be made immediately.
Am Located in Seattle (WA), But I am buying the item for my daughter that is on a tour in Africa. Don't worry about the shipping cost because, I will add extra $130 USD when making the payment. So you specify which of them that suits you best (PayPal or Money Order).

Thanks for your understanding.

Have a Splendid day.

Yours Sincerely,

Jason Stull.

Looks like a scam...also from a craigslist laptop posting.

Just haven't had good feedback regarding security of PayPal. In addition, there are fees assessed in the transaction (up to 5%) which would be added to the overall cost as you would be working with a business account. I would need to verify a local address and phone number before considering such a transfer. Given the number of scams that originate from the continent you have requested for international shipping, these are reasonable precautions to ensure the transaction is legitimate.

I don't mind shipping with the USPS, but I would need a specific location to give you a reasonable quote. You might also want to consider a USPS money order (maximum limit on these domestically is $1000 and would probably work out cheaper than the 5% transaction fee of PayPal).

Let me know how you wish to proceed.

Hello,

Thanks for your mail. I want to let you know that paypal is the only safe and reliable way of payment. Visit www.paypal.com and create an account with your e-mail and send me your e-mail address when you must have open an account with them. So that I can facilitate the payment transfer to your account as soon as possible. I think USPS would be the cheapest shipping method you can trust and they are reliable.
I want you to enquire the total cost both shipping to Africa and provide me information to send the payment without further delays through your Paypal. Let me know ASAP. Thanks

Clint.

I received an e-mail from a Susan Smith for a Craigslist posting. "She" provided 206-666-1926 as her call back number and the e-mail came from susansmith1990@aim.com. Here is the e-mail she sent:

I got the same message for an Xbox in Chicago. The brakets "[]" around the title are a sign that there's some sort of automation. And plus the West Africa, never trust anything from West Africa, especially Nigeria. I like to  write the scammers back using poor grammar like:

Dearest Mizz Smith;

Much thanks for renewed interest of the items inside question. The dollars in the amount excess are unneededed. Merely please to sent the dollars in the amount 525$ via personal check <misspelled name> at

thanks everyone for your info. i got an e-mail from this guy as well. now i know that it's a scam.

Well he got me,I fell for it hook line and sninker.  I posted on Craig's list a camera with lens, then I sent them to:
Anene Ume
#51 Adelabu Street Uwan
Enugu, Enuga State 23442

He said the same thing that his daughter was on tour in Nigeria.

Not only am I out hte camera and lens, I am out the postage of $62.50.  LEARN FROM ME

Wow.  Same thing here, Susan Smith version though.  Thought it seemed a bit phishy as well.  Thanks for posting everyone, helps keep these thinks in check a bit.  Sorry your out the camera/lens and money PO'd.

Using the name, mc.morris@msn.com Mc Morris - Jerk on Craig's List was trying to get me to ship camera items out of country and wanted my Pay Pal account. Said he was a School Coach in England but was living in Utah. His grammar sucks as a school coach. You'd figure that if these foreigners think that Americans are dumb, they'd at least learn to type and use correct grammar to be less detecting. This has been tried before with to me on Criag's List.

This scammer sounds just like the person above. He went by Esilo, and also said, as you can see below that he is from Utah but is a school coach in England. It makes me sad that people will do this.

Hi
I am happy that the item is still avaliable, I think i am ok regarding the amount you want to sell it, I am from Utah and am also an
School Coach residing in London. Am still in State now for a break, but will soon be leaving for England to resume work. I will want you to provide me with your paypal account for the payment to be send immediately or if did not have paypal account provide me your Full name and Address so that i will send the money through Money Order.I will be taking care of the shipment, so you don't need to boarder yourself regarding the shipping tax.Waiting to hear from you.
