Just received a Craigslist email from 3334bringer@comcast.net, which I suspect to be a scam. Here's the message:

>>
Hello,

   I am very much interested in buying your item which i saw on craigslist. Is the item still up for sale? Let me know asap.

Thanks
Best regards
Happy New Year.

As much as I would find it entertaining to pursue them to see how far it goes, I only have time to post this Craigslist spam. My advice would be to simply not reply to this email. Good luck!

The same crap sent to me.  Only now its a Valentines day gift!

Im gonna string this out as long as I can........ time to mess with a scammer!

Thanks for your quick response, i was introduced to this site by a friend at work. I am well satisfied with the description on your ad, I will like to purchase your item for my Friend who resides in abroad as a valentine  gift. Though i will not be able to make cash payment due to my tight schedule. But am ready to make paypal as my method of paying, I am offering you $150 for the shipping fees because i want you help me by shipping it out directly by you through the USPS.. Send your PayPal email address to me so I can pay you and proceed with the transaction,I am using only PayPal.

This is because PayPal is the most secured and safest way to transact online. You can also get a PayPal email address within few minutes at http://www.paypal.com/ if you are new to PayPal. I hope to read from you soon.

Thanks

Had this same scammer, different name - Jerry Pierre - but same email address..... glad I googled the email address..... something seemed fishy!

Had the same thing today for an item I am selling on Craigslist. - However, HE identified himself as Jerry Pierre.  Wanted my paypal address, but I requested his first and never sent the request for funds.  Luckily I googled the email address first.  Something did seem fishy - nobody buys a $3700 ring without seeing it!!!!  Wanted it shipped to Nigeria....LOL!!  Really???  THANK YOU for all your posts - helped me out!!!  Wrote them back and said "Googled your email address - no thanks"!!!  THANK YOU ALL!!!!
