I just got exactly this email -word by word- from her, trying to buy a bike I am selling. It seemed odd, so I google'd her name and found this. Thanks for posting it!

ShannonB said...

I got the same message and was immediately suspicious - who would buy a refrigerator to send to Poland?! This blog was great for confirming my suspicions - thanks!

Baby Gui said...

I, too got the same message. When I try to ask questions of her, I just get the same email. A whole bedroom suite to Poland? The shipping would be astonomical!

Got the exact same one for a hot tub.. People need to get a life and spend this sort of effort on making money in a legitimate way...

Penny said...

I got the exact same email. I replied and told her to shove her scam!! I cant figure out how they are using paypal for this. I didnt fall for it..best way to sell on craigslist is to do it face to face.

My boyfriend just got an email from her, interested in our non-working van. Let's see how bad her son needs that in Poland. I'll post her reply when I get it :-)

Kim said...

We were trying to sell a non-running truck on craigslist when I recieved the exact same email. we considered it though because my son is former military and we knew the military often shipps things for military personnel for free. This is what I found though when I researched it.

I thought it was a scam on the first email, but was certain on the second... How does this scam even work??

k2411 said...

sarah rene was the scammers so called name. I was selling a boat motor and never got the money which was a blessing in my case sense i found this site. I was supposed to pay for her shipping but never got the money, im glad i wasnt dumb enough to send it and never get reimbursed let alone the actually payment.she even is harassing my phone via text. shes claims shes in rhode island but the number was traced and is a california number. WTF?? people really have this much free time. all im trying to do i make some money. She is trying to steal money from people that dont even have it thats why their selling something to "GET" the money, not give it away.

Samantha said...

Went through the same thing when my husband and I were trying to sell our camper!! She was using Bethany Fett!! Army Reserves. We felt bad for her, considering my husband was in the Army. Complete Scam. Thank the Lord we didn't fall for this. We could have been out so much money!! Hope people don't actually fall for this. Absolutely RIDICULOUS!!

Steph H said...

Another response from Bethany Fett to me today, inquiring about a piano we have listed. Googled her name and found this blog. Thanks everyone for posing your reactions and interactions with this scammer.

lissa01 said...

Bethany fett sent me the same emails about my fifth wheel. Gonna send that to. Poland? My family member in the marines saod they have no record of her and are tracing the people down for fraud and impersonating a us govetnment official. Hope they get them.

Kimberly Cotreau said...

Got an email from this scammer as well. Goes by Sarah Rene or Georgia Smith claiming to be in the US Army reserves living in Texas wanting to buy our boat for her dad. I emailed back to NEVER claim to be in the Army for scamming purposes and get a job!!!!!

Got scammed said...

Beware: Robin Martin Bozeman
He wanted to buy a dining room set from me. Gave me some sob story that he was in camp and couldn't get the money to the agent and that he needed me to send the $750 delivery fee to the hauler via Western Union. I knew something was shady and didn't listen to my gut! Then he sent another email, with some other insane request amount. Said PayPal was holding his funds, that they would transfer the funds once I sent the entire amount. I knew something was wrong after that. I called Paypal and they said it was a scam, that they never deal with Western Union and assured me that there were no funds pending in my account. He got a good chunk of money from me! Hopefully it doesn't happen to you! BEWARE!



Buyer Beware said...

chesterdrawers41@comcast.net via craigslist.org

sent me the following concerning my ad for
2 CATTLE/GOA​T/SHEEP GUARDS :

Still available?what's your last price.

Thanks

***

I looked up chesterdrawers41 and got this site. Thanks, guys! I'll play along, give no personal info, and see what happens.

I refuse to deal with s***heads to do the "what's your last price" crap anyway (if I had a fixed price, I'd say so), just as I refuse to deal with people who demand that I guarantee a bombproof horse (to set me up for a lawsuit, after they torture my horse, then film them dumping a small child).
