He's a scammer on craigslist. Tries to use Paypal to steal from you. Don't fall for it. His number is ALL over the internet for scamming. Glad i checked up on him. He uses the same script all the other scammers use. And is rude an abusive when you don't fall for it.

Confirmed scammer, he attempted to "purchase" a motorcycle from me off Craigslist. Didn't want to see it in person, just wanted my Paypal email address. Said he was in the military at "Fort Lesley J. McNair in Washington DC, 1st Battalion, 3rd Infantry Regiment".  Said he "wasn't allowed to call but could text several times a day".  he said "I will hire the pickup agent who will come for the pickup as soon as payment is complete...".  Said he was buying it for his Dad.

Steer clear of him.  Called himself "Remy William" on his text message.

Thanks.  This Remy chump is trying to contact me about a motorcycle I'm selling. I wish there was an easy way to get back at all the scammer turds on CL.

You can report it to Craigslist

Just got a txt from this guy about my HD for sale on Craigslist. Same setup: "price OK, email paypal info and pick up location; buying it for Dad. Glad I bought myself some time before answering to get that name and phone number checked out. Saved me from a HUGE mistake.

glad i seen this site about this scammer remey williams..damn fraud.

Same story here text message asking buy motorcycle for his did. was good with price wanted paypal info and would send shipper. I said his address must be paypal verified and bike must ship to verified address. He never responded his name was remey williams.

This scammer contacted me too.  Almost fell for it.  Glad I googled his number.

Same as the rest. He wanted to buy my motorcycle listed on Craigslist. He wanted my Paypal account (email) and the address where bike was located. He said his shipper only takes money gram so he was going to add $600 to his payment to me so I can send a money gram to the shipper. He said he was in training in the mountains so he didn't have access to money gram. Remy Williams is the name he used on his texts.

Thanks for this post, he tried to do the same thing to me when I'm selling my BMW motorcycle.  Good thing I searched for the number and this came up.

I got his same thing trying to buy my dirt bike for his dad.  Wants paypal info and all that stuff.  The phone number he used with me was 717 835 5702.  I just googled remy william craigslist and a couple of forums like this popped up about him trying to scam them too.  So I sent him the links to them and he got mad at me hahaha [***] that guy!

He has text me from the 702 area code number and then few days later from the 717 number people have listed.  HHe is a fraud.  Guys like this ruin honest buying, selling, and bartering folks that want use CL.  And he did identfy himself on tthe text as Remy William remywillliam0@gmaiil.com

same guy. F****** got my hopes up. used the number (407) 250-9004. steer clear and be wary!

Caller identified himself as a Sargent Major in the army wanting to buy my HD bike for his sons birthday, wanted to use PayPal, really glad I found this site, said he couldn't talk but could text.

Craigslist, Kiiji, AutoTrader, Etc. Scam:

The scam works like this.  They think your item as described is perfect.  They might ask a few questions about it, and then will pay your asking price, sight unseen, because they are never around close by to come look at it (they use the stationed somewhere in the military a whole lot).  They will give you an extra $40 or $50 to old it for them.  Then they tell you they will send a cashier’s check or money order for that amount plus extra for the “shipper”.  They ask you to wire that extra money by untraceable means such as Western Union or Moneygram.  The check or money order turns out to be bogus and you end up out the money you sent plus the bank fees.  Also, if the check is big enough you may end up being charged criminally.  Take the check and the envelope it came in to the post office and have them forward it to the postal inspectors.
In the case of them using PayPal, the same thing happens.  They send a fake email looking like it came from PayPal, get you to pay the shipper, and then find out that the e mail was fake and no money is available.
