Hello, I got your response. Well, I have read through your ad and from what I have seen,it is priced favorably compared to others so I want you to consider it sold to me because I am ready to buy it for the asking price.I am Tech Sgt Lisa Clapton currently on duty serving the country. Presently I am out of town on duty in a remote area . We have a bad and fluctuating network here otherwise I would have called you and seal the deal on phone. At the moment, email and text messages works best for me. Nevertheless,I am ready to seal the deal right away and pay you via my PayPal account that is attached to my bank account as it is the only secure form of payment that I have access to right now. So,kindly get back to me with your FULL NAME,PAYPAL EMAIL ADDRESS,PHONE NUMBER so that I can initiate the payment immediately.If you don’t have a paypal account, it is absolutely free to set one up, kindly visit www.paypal.com. A shipper will be hired that will come for the pick up upon the completion of the payment aspect of the transaction.Let me have the requested details to proceed with the payment if we have a deal. TY Sincerely,
lisa010jones@gmail.com

I got the same txt. I did not respond because thought it may have been a scam. When I read the other posts my first thought ” PayPal is only secure through EBay!”
Thanks for these posts. My listing was actually on cars.com and here’s the text I just received:

Got the same thing from cars.com. I did email back and got the email listed above, word for word. Glad i checked here. Also pinged paypal…
well..I got it too. After a correspondence with them I got curious and googled them. Yep, same message exactly. Started out from lizzylaw124@gmail but the text body and email was exactly the same.
Got the same text message and I emailed back before I thought things were fishy…then the same email came – so glad I checked it out. Thanks everyone for posting here so I didn’t make a big mistake!
Same message. I had listed my car on Cars.com, and got a message saying they saw it on CL (assuming Craigs List). Started with text from lizzylaw123@gmail.com which redirected me to lisa010jones@gmail.com. This is the message I got in response to my reply:

PS: I got a similar response from alexandra03jg@gmail.com which after my first correspondence, redirected me to lisa010jones@gmail.com.
Well I found this out after I told this person I was going to sell my car to them.. but I found this just in time. I got the same exact text and emails. They seemed really interested in buying my car. Good thing I never game them any information.
Just got the same message 3 times on 3 different listings from lizzylaw123@gmail
Just got two texts from get saying that she couldn’t text and to email… lizzylaw124@gmail.com – trying to buy my car… Gibbs shut this b**** down with Google, PayPal and AT&T, my carrier. I knew something was up when the text came from a number that is what one of my credit cards sends text alerts from. Shady!
From an add posted on craigslist, I received a text message asking for my best price on the product listed, asked for a return email to lizzylaw124@gmail.com. Glad I looked on here 1st, thanks everyone.
