He is still at it.  Got the same thing this week for a very large executive desk.   unreal!  Don't work with Rick Smith

Rick Smith at it again with another number. Same email as all the others. Using the email walkingthon@gmail.com. I was also selling furniture through craigslist and used the automated email option but it seems he got my email somehow since I don't see that option on the original email to report address as a scam.

Yeh got the same message today me and my girl realized there were too much [***] in one email. Rick smith turner construction, come up with a better last name then smith, and story

I got the same exact email. I talked to pay pal customer service abd he was telling me how I could be taken advantage of since it was furniture so I decided to look up his name abd here he is scamming people

Fancy that. I got the same message from this scumbag.

Caller from Turner construction working at a very rural area makes it very hard to make phone calls 1314-641-1793

Same thing today. 12,11.14

Same thing today.  Selling a large entertainment unit in Bucks County, PA.  He mentions Turner Construction, rural area, surprise and PayPal.   From phone number 631.861.9222.

Same thing today 1-6-2015. I was suspicious of the situation and not wanting to be scammed, I looked him up. I am so glad I did! Thanks to everyone who has been posting warnings! His number is: 1-631-861-9059 and says it's located in Farmingdale, NY.

his latest number is 631-861-9059 i am trying to lure him in to catch him red handed.

WE got his text also.  How are people getting scammed. My son-in-law gave him his paypal email  and phone number so he could send money for some furniture.

Usually what they do is send a fake paypal notification of payment made.  They usually have some excuse not to ever call or speak live with you, its either email or text. Sometimes it will even be a over pay and they will want money back.   You may wish to read through these articles.

This is what he sent:

Thanks for the response, My name is Rick Smith. I am buying this as a surprise to someone very dear to me and I want to keep it that way(AS A SURPRISE) after delivery day. I work with Turner Construction,we are currently working at a very rural area which makes it very hard for me to make phone calls due to bad network reception here but you can always text me on (501)438-9373 . I will not be able to view it but I have a Mover who will come for the pickup so please get back to me with more pics and also I will be making the payment via PayPal as that is the only payment option I can access from here I hope you understand.I have some questions for you;

Are you the first owner of it?

Where do you live?

What is your final asking price?

Does it have anything negative i should know about?

TEXT AND EMAIL ONLY.

He's still at it.

First he sent me a message from 402-870-4724 asking me to text him at his personal line - 407-307-2251.  Once I sent a message at this number, he sent me the exactly the same story of working with Turner Construction in a rural area and can't talk, payment via PayPal, etc.

I'm glad I looked up Rick Smith before I sent him any other information.

he's back at it, new number 1-407-307-2251 &1-754-202-1443  I caught on quite quick and then decided to lead him on an adventure, lol it was fun on my end

I added a report this morning for Rick Smith. His new number is 3212703630 and email address he was using was p.poner12301@gmail.com
