Thanks for the prompt response i want you to know that am okay with
the condition of the item and i will love to make an instant purchase.
I will be mailing (overnight) a certified check from my account to
cover the cost, while you hold item on my behalf, am willing to give
an extra $40 for you to hold item till you receive payment. Once you
have payment, I will have my handler come for pickup at your place as
soon as check clears your bank. I will be needing the following
information to issue out the payment . .

1.Name to be on the check
2.Home Address
3.Telephone
4. Final Asking Price

** Please note that the payment will be mailed overnight via the
courier to your address and its bound to delivered within 2 to 3 days.
I have taken a closer look at the item and am very satisfied i really
need this and would appreciates that you help hold this for me till
the payment arrives.Furthermore do remove the posting from CRAIGSLIST
as am definitely buying it from you. Hope to hear from you ASAP

Sincerely

Peter Martinez

Just had the same exact thing happen to me. I was falling for it until my wife found this site and post.

Welcome to ScamWarners SteveM, I am sorry to hear that you were tangled up with a scammer. It is great that you discovered it and our site was helpful to you.

Thank you bubbles. Had
I not found this I may have ended up a victim. I now have several others trying to scam me. But thanks to this site I am more aware. I will post other scammers names soon.

he's still doing it... I just got the exact same reply for an ad I posted on Craigslist! Thank goodness Google search of his email address landed me here!

It just happened to me too. I got that message telling me that he really wanted my items on Craigslist. I actually sent him back an email and really wish I hadn't. I went back and said, "sorry item sold" so hopefully leave me alone. Eeek, so glad I found this when I did a search on "peter martinez scammer"
