I have a couple of items listed on craigslist, I was approached by text from becky.neff67.yahoo.com, ph# 334-245-3598 from Lago Nigeria wanting to by a PSP through PayPal, she requested a receipt to make payment which was provided, she claims to have deposited 100 dollars more then the required amount for item. I checked paypal and there was no transaction made by this person Becky. RED FLAGS! I google her phone number and email and there she was craiglist #1 SCAMMER.
Please post my experience.
Thanks!

I googled timmosun & got to this website! Thanks!

I've rec'd several emails from Barbara Leigey wanting to buy a boat I have for sale paying with a cashiers check. Luckily I caught on after googling her name and email.
I got scammed by a barbara leigey, they sent me a check and then wanted me to take my payment out and then sent a money gram to a mover, thank goodness i waited for the bank to check the check out, it was no good. Then i told her this in a email then my emial got hacked. Watch out for this everyone.
Good thing I'm the suspicious type. I searched aminlove01@gmail.com and found this. Obviously this person is still at it. Thanks!
