Message reads:

He left his “cell number” so I called it and talked briefly to a man with
a lot of noise over the phone and in background. I asked if he was in
_____ (NOT the state I’m in) and he said “yes mumble mumble”. I hung up.
Anyone wanna anti-spam the hell out of that email address and phone number? Give him a call and share your love for cameras with him—he answered my call…
He is “interested in” my camera details despite I have a lens not a camera to sell. Would recommend to flag the email immediately as soon as you get it.
I feel sorry for anyone who got scammed by this, but… C’mon, it’s craigslist… It really is the sellers responsibility to pay attention to whats going on.
i will like to know the condition of this camera and lenses is the

What a scumbag. I’m going to publicize his number and then some.
Just ran into this guy. He’s using cwilson2luv@gmail.com.
Nearly finalized everything on a $3,000 camera. Watch out for the language used and writing style. It is VERY consistent.
Glad this website was here, but it is common sense anyway. Paypal emails come from paypal… and look official.

i googled ‘michael sand paypal’ just to be cautious and this site came up.
This guy is not very good a covering his track. He asked to text him with info about the camera I want to sell. I Google his number and found this site. I have replied to his email playing stupid. Let see him or I give up first.

Dec 9 2012 response (below) to my Canon camera listing — cwilson4luv@gmail.com was the source address. I noticed when viewing on my PC rather than phone that Hotmail showed a note that the email looked suspicious to their SmartScreen filters.

I got this one today… started texting with him and realized it was a scam when he offered to pay via paypal plus $250 for shipping. He also mentioned in texts that he’s a marine officer and wanted me to send the items to his son abroad. What a SAD a** life to live!!!!!!!

I received one from Mark Emmanuella today as well. Reading the words “paypal” and “shipping abroad” sent up red flags all over the place. Glad I came across this site.
Watch out for this guy. I did my research once I got this person to identify himself. He will try to text you as well. Thankfully I work in digital marketing so I know how to research a SCAM. Always check into the buyer before you release any information. You find posts like this and know its a SCAM. Secondly if its long distance, it should raise a red flag automatically. Only do deals in person.
Yup, also uses the account: charleswilson16luv@gmail.com

Michael,
I have never shipped to any other country than Canada, and certainly not Nigeria, so thinking about their mail customs certainly worries me.
Have you shipped electronics to Nigeria before?

Just ran into this guy. He’s using cwilson2luv@gmail.com.
Nearly finalized everything on a $3,000 camera. Watch out for the language used and writing style. It is VERY consistent.
Glad this website was here, but it is common sense anyway. Paypal emails come from paypal… and look official.
The email was actually michaelsand001@gmail.com.
Not sure how I wrote the other.
April 24, 2012
These scammers tried to get me too here in canada under the email michaelsand001@gmail.com

Dec 9 2012 response (below) to my Canon camera listing — cwilson4luv@gmail.com was the source address. I noticed when viewing on my PC rather than phone that Hotmail showed a note that the email looked suspicious to their SmartScreen filters.

I check check every email address that replies to my listing, all but one have been scams!
It’s not even worth it to try to sell anything on Craigslist or eBay anymore!
Way too much of a hassle!

Ok guys, where to sell cameras & used pro gear? Please, I need advice!
I got this one today… started texting with him and realized it was a scam when he offered to pay via paypal plus $250 for shipping. He also mentioned in texts that he’s a marine officer and wanted me to send the items to his son abroad. What a SAD a** life to live!!!!!!!

I received one from Mark Emmanuella today as well. Reading the words “paypal” and “shipping abroad” sent up red flags all over the place. Glad I came across this site.

Watch out for this guy. I did my research once I got this person to identify himself. He will try to text you as well. Thankfully I work in digital marketing so I know how to research a SCAM. Always check into the buyer before you release any information. You find posts like this and know its a SCAM. Secondly if its long distance, it should raise a red flag automatically. Only do deals in person.
