A few years ago I had a vehicle for sale. I got a call from some guy, said he had the money and was ready to buy. He wanted to test drive it to his wife’s work about five miles away. When we past the gas station she supposedly worked at, he kept saying one more block. This went on for about five blocks. Till he finally pulled over and said, if you don’t trust me you can drive. He got out of the car with the engine running. He thought I was going to exit through the passenger side, he would jump in and leave. Instead I slid over to drivers side and said ok bye. The look on his face was priceless. I left him there and laughed all the way back.

cc53 They don't even send it, they send a fake PayPal email to the email saying you've received the money, when in actuality they haven't.

I had something similar and I led him on for about a week. He sent me a fake check, four times the amount I was asking for my item. So I would go to the bank, tell him I am there and ready to make the deposit, then something would always come up last minute. I'd forget I left some lights on at home, didn't say hi to the neighbor, forgot to flush the toilet, or forgot to rearrange my sock drawer first. I'd leave the bank, and he'd get pissed. Everything would have to be perfect before I could make this deposit comfortably! This went on a few times before he started threatening me. I finally lied and told him I'm a federal agent and now have all his information, then he stopped the threats. If you have the time, always lead these guys on and get them to send you multiple checks if possible. It costs them like $16 every time they send a check, plus you are wasting the time of the person that could be scamming someone else.

I have a different story with a great outcome. My grandson advertised a motorbike on Craigslist for $900. Some guy in Fla sent him a check for $1900 so he could pay for shipping. He deposited the check in his bank account. He asked about shipping, I told this was a scam and wait until the bank informed him that the check was a fraud. He waited for 2 months, then checked back with the bank. The bank said the check was good. I told him to contact the guy for an address to ship the motorbike, but there was no phone number on the check. He tried for several weeks to contact the buyer with no success. I told him to wait for the buyer to contact him. He waited 6 months, nothing. So I told him to wait a couple more months. He did, so I told him I guess the money was his but not to spend it for a while . It's been over 2 years and still nothing, so I said he was free to spend the money.

I'll be honest, this is more entertaining than most of the garbage that gets uploaded to KZread nowadays

It's to make the seller take that offer instead of telling them to fuck off. The seller would think "Why would I SHIP and get my money in digital space, have it held for 21 days, and possibly have the funds charged back, and have my account go negative when I could just sell locally and get it in cash?" Then they think "Oh, well I get 150$ extra... I'll do it!"

I thought when somebody paid you through PayPal it would receive the money right away and even if you don't, it's held there and if you have a shipment bill or something that proves you actually shipped the product you keep the money anyway and PayPal go after them...

@1blisslife

8 жыл бұрын

some are bots & some aren't. I had several contact me like that & gave them a generic Email address (with no PayPal account tied to it), and they sent me a fake PayPal Email saying that the payment posted! Perhaps also wanting to capture my log in information? I clicked on the link via a virtual machine & it looked like a legit PayPal log in page. After looking at the address bar I further confirmed it was fake! I was still texting the persons & they said they were from Lagos Nigeria! Ironically I do have a friend here that is from that very place, and know a bit about that city so I told the scammer I would have my Nigerian friend pick up the money in person at a particular place there, and deliver in person since the scammer gave me a shipping address there. They kept insisting that the payment went through in PayPal & they ended up sending 3 Emails saying the same thing after going back & forth!!! My friend gave me some actual Nigerian currency since I collect foreign currency, so I took a picture of that money along with the phone I was selling & sent it to them. I told them to pay me in Naira(that's the name of their cash) in person at the given Nigerian address on the Email. I played with a couple of scammers that way for fun... Just when they thought they had me, I had the last laugh!!! :)

they arent bots, they are out of country businesses who can legally lie to you to take your money, because in their country its legal. so most messages are from google translate, making it seem very bot like. thats why you always text spelling some things wrong or putting s p a c e s between words so they cannot be translated :)

Im glad this dude actually took his time to mess with a scammer.. Glad he wasn't shooting up a school

I was looking for an apartment on Craigslist and I ran into scammers 3 different times. They will tell you that they are out of town so they can't show you the inside and expect you to send them money. The monthly rent price is always way cheaper than the rents in the area.

They tried that craps when I was selling my boat. I just kept telling them if you want it you have to pay cash in person. Funny how they were all out of the country

I've tried to sell items on Craigslist and my ad only last minutes before it gets pulled. It turns out that I was trying to sell a classic video game still in the wrapper, and was offering to take less money than many nearby gaming stores would ask for the same game, so they kept flagging my ad. Until Craigslist gets rid of their easily abusive system, I will not be using them as a seller nor buyer.

I've gotten a bunch of these, they even went so far as to send a check to my address for 1000$ over what I was asking they wanted me to cash the fake check and send them the extra thousand via pay pay. Needless to say I too the check and turned it in and reported it to craigslist, they didn't do anything but I also made sure they sent the check before I sent the item Because I've always been extremely careful with these scammers. It's a bad sign when they wont even Answer the phone. So good for you and stay safe🙏

Silerios when their English is horribly bad and use the word "kindly". Many scammers have turned out to be from overseas, that's why their English is so bad. Some Native and other fluent English speakers might not have good grammar, but they tend to use words appropriately and in the right order. When you see a text like this, you either think they are retarded or a scammer.

+Joel Foreman From what i've heard they normally use something of the sorts: - Scammer agrees to pay you through paypal and even pays extra to cover the costs, but asks you to send the item to his brother who happens to live somewhere else. - You give him your paypal and he pays you the money. - You ship the item to his "brother" - He files a fraud claim stating that the item was not delivered to his confirmed paypal shipping address and he did not receive the item (Which he of course did but Paypal doesn't know that) - You are unable to prove anything because you most likely didn't use a tracking number nor did you use the shipping address that Paypal can see linked to his account. - Paypal then chargebacks you and you lose the money AND the phone you just sent out which the scammer then happily picks up from his friends house or whatever address he gave you earlier. Another thing they might do is send you a very dodgy email that is supposedly from Paypal saying that the funds they sent are being frozen or put on hold or whatever until you show them proof, i.e a receipt that the item has been shipped, so they can release the funds to your account. If they'd accuse you of sending a defect they would have to return the product to you with proof of shipping and everything which i'd doubt they would want to do. Then again i've never had the "pleasure" of dealing with one of these scammers so I wouldn't know 100%
