I got a spam email from an enagagement ring i was trying to sell on craigslist and it had this number listed to a samuel lawson from the republic of Benin Cotonou or something like that

Got the same thing this morning bro.

I am selling jewelry on craigslist and this SAMUEL LAWSON 67 @GMAIL contacted me also. I have been verifying the email and it's a scam. There has been people that have been deceived by this person on craigslist.

I'm selling an engagement ring on Craigslist too. Received an email early this morning from this person with the sane number listed. He responded once but hasn't since I informed him I'd be reporting it to the IC3 online.

same thing here.

this guy is posing as a buyer and wants me to provide paypal info to buy my ring.

Craigslist and Ebay have lots of predators that would love to take your money!! I always run the basic info from an inquiry through the internet and sure enough here I am > He sent me an e-mail this morning about a ring (Jewelry) I have for sale on Craigslist. Don't respond! He's a crook!!

Got the same message. Selling a ring and he wants to buy it and wants to pay thru paypal and give me $100 on top of it! What a nice guy! SCAMMER

We just got the same email (samuellawson3@gmail.com) on 11/25/2012 and this guy using the same way try to get our info in Paypal. Thank you all of this alert of this spam mail.

This is how I replyed to samuellawson3@gmail.com

Hello,

The ad states the condition of the items as NEW in other words (BRAND NEW). As for the Sale it will have to be Cash and Carry Only due to all the Scammers that have been emailing me.  I don't have a Paypal Account, No Bank Account, No Credit Cards, and I don't take Checks. Here are my reasons why:
You can sidestep would-be scammers by following these common-sense rules whenever using craigslist:

•DEAL LOCALLY WITH FOLKS YOU CAN MEET IN PERSON - follow this one rule and avoid 99% of scam attempts.
•NEVER WIRE FUNDS VIA WESTERN UNION, MONEYGRAM or any other wire service - anyone who asks you to do so is likely a scammer.
•FAKE CASHIER CHECKS & MONEY ORDERS ARE COMMON, and BANKS WILL CASH THEM AND THEN HOLD YOU RESPONSIBLE when the fake is discovered weeks later.
•CRAIGSLIST IS NOT INVOLVED IN ANY TRANSACTION, and does not handle payments, guarantee transactions, provide escrow services, or offer "buyer protection" or "seller certification"
•NEVER GIVE OUT FINANCIAL INFORMATION (bank account number, social security number, eBay/PayPal info, etc.)
•AVOID DEALS INVOLVING SHIPPING OR ESCROW SERVICES OR PICK UP AGENT know that ONLY A SCAMMER WILL "GUARANTEE" YOUR TRANSACTION.
•AVOID PEOPLE TELLING YOU HOW EASY IT IS TO OPEN A PAYPAL ACCOUNT IF YOU DON'T HAVE ONE, anyone who asks you to do this is most likely a scammer.
