From: jerry daniel <jd2004ster@gmail.com-xxxx>
Hi Christine,
How are you doing.Hope everything is going fine on your side.As a matter of fact the deal is on and according to my secretary,he has already sent the check out to you(it will arrive by mail).So the payment should arrive in a short while from now.And once you get it,i guess you know how to handle everything.And please dont bother about any other buyer for the Fabric Cream colored Loveseat & Sofa . But there was a little problem which i guess we can handle with understanding.When i contacted my secretary to know maybe the check as already been sent ,i got to know that there was a misinterpretation while sending the check.According to the instruction i gave him,he was suppose to have send you a check of $200 for the Fabric Cream colored Loveseat & Sofa. But instead,he sent a check of (2000 Dollars ).It was a terrible mistake and the check is already out fordelivery to your location.He claimed that he thougth i said he should send you a check of 2,000 dollars.But i know i very well told him to send just $200, but i guess he didnt get it straigth. But that should not disturb our own transaction.the deal is on and we will get through it.what will happen is that ,once you get the check you will take it to the bank and cash it immediately, Then you deduct the $200 for the Fabric Cream colored Loveseat & Sofaand also a 100 dollars for your run around in cashing the check then a $100 will be required for the transfer of the rest funds to my shipper via western union money transfer that same day, since its coming to you now,i guess i can be assured in you that you can handle it with trust and have it sent to my shipper.hope all is well.mail me back immediately,to let me know that i can trust you to handle everything well.I will be expecting your mail asap.
Best Regards and Stay Blessed. Jerry

Thanks for your prompt reply. Actually i am buying it for my son as a birthday gift,i will offer you $960 for it .I will be paying through Payko money order and its not necessary that you should be a member before i can make payment because am already a member.
This is how it works, as soon as i make payment with Payko money order, After order is approved, both the sender and the recipient will receive an email receipt,that i have made payment for some amount and they will have to pend it in order to findsout somethings about my payment and as soon as they approve my payment, After the money order has been shipped both the sender and recipient will receive a second email containing the order tracking number, trackable from Royalmail home page, i.e Payko will delivered your money order slip to Royalmail for delievry and will be mailed to your address in 3 to 4 days after the verification of the shippment.
With Payko, payment is guaranteed. Once the money order has been approved, you are guaranteed your payment, and there is no possibility that you will not receive and cash the money order, as other online payment services may do...
As soon as payko notified you the money order tracking number trackable on Roaylmail,based on this,i will ship the item through my Fed-ex account.
As for the shipping, you dont have to pay a dine for it becos i will be responsible for the shipping to destination.Upon tracking information from royalmail,i will send you a fed-ex prepaid shipping label to you which you will affix on the package before its picked up from you.I will like to hear from you if this is okay by you,let me have your full name and address as it will be written on the money order so that i can proceed with the payment.

how are doing once again? hope all is well...I am very happy the deal is in

hello
how are doing once again? hope all is well...I am very happy the deal is in perfect progression..
Once you receive the payment i guess you will be able to handle the case and please dont bother about anyother buyer... I will also want to let you know that when i contacted the secretary for the confirmation of the payment been sent this afternoon cos i only he instructed him to do it on Phone.. i realised that their was a slight mix up in the issueing of the payment.. according to the secretary he sent payment worth $3500.00 instead of $500.00 i promised to pay..this was terrible and unconfidential of him..he claimed that he taught i instructed him to make payment worth $3500.00 but i know very well i did told him to send just $500.00 but i guess he didnt get it straight.So please i will not like this to interupt this transaction as the deal is still on and we can get through this...I am really shameful for this, please i want you to assist me with this unless i run into a great debt.. So what i decided to let you know is that since the payment has already been sent,then we just have to wait for the payment to be delivered to you..when delivered then you take it to your nearest cashing outlet and cash it, You can now deduct $100 cashing outleet fees and $100 for all this trouble i have put you through during the course of this transaction as well as your running around.. The excess fund available should then be send to my shipper via western union money transfer that sameday...It was my freind's intetion today to collect the money and send it to the shipper for various funds been owed to him from other items he as transported for them. Since its now coming to you now,i guess i can count on you that you can handle this with trust and have it sent tothe shipper.Please do mail me back immediately to let me know that i can count on you to handle everything with care .I will be expecting your mail as soon as possible.
Thanks for your understanding and co-operation.

[Reply email to scammer-renter from onest-craigslist-landlord]:
Hello Jenni, Well the room is available. Do you know when you are going to be moving to the U.S???? As far as the house its a new home so I'm still trying to fill the house up with furniture. Do you need the room to be furnished??? I travel two to three times a week so basically you have the house to yourself. I'm 33 year old male, I'm extremely clean when it comes to my home and appearance. Are you familiar with the Bay area???
Talk to you soon

[Second email to honest-craigslist-landlord from scammer-renter]:
hi
Thanks for your response,i really appreciate it.well as regards your email am still presently in amsterdam on a modelling contract,and i need a change of environment because of the nature of my job,i will be coming in by oct 15 if the house will be mine.i think am ok with the terms and condition of the house including the rate without wasting anytime and without no hesitation am interested in the room and i'll want you to provide me with your payment information which includes your ;
full name,
home address,
zip code,
city and state,
phone number
However my corresponding agent will make out payment by a US cashiers check or money order to you but note that he will be making out an overpayment just because he's owing me some amount of money in respect of my last contract with him so he will be paying you all the money his owing me which is 5,800usd so i would like you to do this favour for me as soon as you get the payment pls deduct your deposit money and pls help me send the remaining balance to the travelling agent in uk in care of my trip. cos thats the money i'll be using to board a plane here to come over ok.i want you to see this as a favour you'll be willing to do for a roomie to be ok.pls if you comply do not hesitate to provide me with those information.
Yours Faithfully

Hi , How are you doing.Hope everything is going fine on your side.

Hi , How are you doing.Hope everything is going fine on your side.As a matter fact the deal is on and according to my secretary,he has already sent the cheque out to you(it will arrive by mail).So the payment should arrive in a short while from now.And once you get it,i guess you know how to handle everything.And please dont bother about any other buyer.
But there was a little problem which i guess we can handle with understanding.When i contacted my secretary to know maybe the cheque as already been sent ,i got to know that there was a misinterpretation while sending the cheque.According to the instruction i gave him,he was suppose to have send you a cheque of $300for your money but in the process he made a mistake by sending along the shipper fund with your money making the total to be $3000 USD.He claimed that he thougth i said he should send you a cheque of $3,000.But i know i very well told him to send just your payment,but i guess he didnt get it straigth.
But that should not disturb how own transaction.the deal is on and we will get through it.what will happen is that ,once you get the cheque you will easily forward the extra money directly to my shipper in cash immediately.it can be sent via western union.Originally,i had in mind to collect the money from him and use the money to pay the shipper and to also fix some other things personally.But since,its now coming to you now,i guess i can be assured in you that you can handle it with trust and have it sent to him.hope all is well.mail me back immediately,to let me know that i can trust you to handle everything well.I will be expecting your mail asap.
Best Regards and Stay Blessed

I will not be able to come over and view it as am out of town for a business trip and will be back in a few days time.A picture of it will do for now. I am willing to take it for $500.00. I have a reliable and trusted shipping company to do the pickup for me. The check will be sent to you by my client who lives in the united state and he is owing me $5,600.00 Dollars so I decided to use the money to buy the said item from you, as the check is cleared you will deduct your $500.00 and another $50.00 incase of any expenses you might incure in cashing the check and do me a favour by sending the remaining balance of the fund to my shipping agent for the shipment via western union money transfer. Hope I can entrust the check in your hands. Please send me the following information so that the check can get to you asap.
YOUR FULL NAME THAT WILL APPEAR ON THE CHECK

I just wanted to send you an email to let you know that we received your money order in the postal mail yesterday. As we have not heard from you yet about your shipper and how they are picking it up, we have not cashed the check. We will not cash it until we receive details from you about how to give this piece to the shipper. At that time, we can send you the address of where to pick up the [item] and we will also give the remaining money from the check to your shipper. Or do you want us to mail it to you via US Post? Please contact us as soon as you can as we are not sure what to do until then. We have the cashiers check and are not sure what to do with it?
Thank you,

[Reply from honest-craigslist-seller to scammer-buyer]:
Tim,
On a recently received statement the payoff good through 8-11-05 is $34.567.89. I am currently having financial problems,I have missed a payment already and because of my financial crisis I will most definetly miss this month's payment as well. I have it financed thru Household Finance and I plan on speaking with them next week about the possibility of it getting repossed or me arranging a voluntary repossession. Just yesterday a freind of mine told me about Craigs List so I placed an ad. The truck does have a clear title. It is in great condition, it still has that new car smell. It pains me to have to get rid of it but I have no other choice. I do not have a digital camera but I do have a cameraphone and I will try to send pictures following this email. Thank You and have a nice day. You can contact me by phone at 1-XXX-XXX-XXXX.
honest-craigslist-seller

[Second email from scammer]:
Hello,
Thanks for the response to our demand.I have notified our client of your final offer and he has instructed us to carry on with the transaction but he still insists on seeing the pics so as to be convinced on what you said.He said that I should inform you that payment will get to you in a cashier's check of US$42.567.89 which is a refund payment of a cancelled order earlier made by my client.The order was cancelled because,when our agent went for the pick-up,it was discovered that the car had been in an accident and this wasn't mentioned during the course of the transaction. Due to company policy this check has to be made out in this amount to you,because company policy only allows a refund payment on one cashier's check,so you are required to deduct the cost of your car $34,567.89 when payment gets to you and refund balance of $8,000 to my client via western union money transfer or money gram transfer for him to be able to offset shipping charges.
After payment has reached you and balance sent back to him,our agent will come for the pick up and take to a prepaid shipper to be shipped to my customer,while other necessary documents will be sent by you via courier service to my client.
Please Confirm this and provide NAME, ADDRESS and PHONE NUMBER for the payment to be delivered to you via courier service.
Thanks and God bless you.
Tim.

Hi Tina,
The shelves are in very good condition; my husband used to deal antiques, so he's taken very good care of the piece. We are selling because we are having a baby very soon and need to make space in our rather small house. It is a fine piece, we just don't have enough room for it. The price is based on its antique value; you are, of course, welcome to come look at it and make an offer based on what you see. Attached are some photos; if you'd like to come take a look at the piece, please feel free to give me a call and we'll set up a time for you to come by. My number is XXX-XXXX.

Hi,
sorry for not getting to you on time,I will not be able to come to view the vehicle but my pickup agent will definately come to you if the transaction go on smoothly,so therefore we are not doing blind purshase.Let me ask you few questions about this vehicle.Are you the first owner of this vehicle?Has it involved in any accident before?Please send me the pictures of this vehicle to ascertain its condition.What is your prefered mode of payment(cashier check or money order).Get to me as soon as possible.
Chris
From: Chris Joe <chrisjoe44@yahoo.com-xxxx>

[Reply from honest craigslist seller to scammer]:
Chris,
To answer your questions: I am not the original owner, I purchased the truck in Washington last year from Ryder, it was previously a rental truck. It currently has approximately 333,000 miles on it. I have since replaced the radiator, thermostat, temp and oil pressure sensors as well as 5 of the 8 tires. I have driven it from california to hawaii 6 times and it did very well. I just dont have a need for such a large truck anymore.
I have attached a photo, and can get you more if you like.
I prefer cashiers check for payment. The check will be taken to a local bank and cashed at the time of the transaction.
Thanks for your reply,
Honest craigslist seller

[Third email from scammer]:
Hi,
sorry for not getting to you on time,I have been out of town for sometime,but I'm back now.
I am happy to inform you that I have concluded with my client .He said that I should inform you that the payment will get to you in a cashier check of ($9,700) which is a refund payment of a cancelled order earlier made by my client. My Client informed me that he intends using this refund payment to pay for your vehicle via refund company.
Due to company policy, this check has to be made out in this amount($9,700) to you, because company policy only allows a refund payment on one cashier check, so you are required to deduct cost of your Vehicle [($5100 )] when the payment gets to you and refund balance of [ $4800 ] to my customer's shipping agent through International Money Gram Transfer , for the shipping agent to be able to offset shipping charges and any other related charges.
After payment has reached you and balance sent back to his shipping agent - the shipper will contact the PICKUP AGENT-who will come for the pick up of the vehicle to be shipped to my client.While the title papers and any other documents involved will be sent by you to my client via UPS courier service.THE PICK UP AGENT WILL BE TAKING CARE OF THE UPS EXPENSES AND ANY OTHER COMMISSION CHARGES.
Please Confirm this and provide the following detail below for check payment to be delivered to you via UPS courier PAYMENT INFORMATION:
1.LEGAL NAME IN FULL.......................................................
2.ADDRESS..............................................................................
3.DIRECT PHONE NUMBER(S)(prefarably cell phone)...........
