This person is trying to use the paypal/craigslist scam! I first received a text at 1:43 in the morning. After considering that it was more than likely a scam I sent an email to the address given to me. Sure enough this is the return email I get back:
This is not the first time we've dealt with idiots like this but now there email is on the long list of craigslist scammers!
Thanks for the prompt response,I'm satisfied with the condition of what am buying as advertised in the ad,i will like to add you $100 to the final offered for you to keep off the trailer from all other offer and consider it sold to me alone as i am serious with with the purchasing,I would have come for the inspection and make the transaction done in person but due to the nature of my work i couldn't.I am making the use of a shipping company to have this picked up from your residential home address...i need some pictures as soon as possible since i can't make an attempt to see the trailer.i'll like to know the following:
(1)how long have you had it?
(2) i will like to know the reason why you are selling it..
(3)hope i'll enjoy it?
Note that i'll be responsible for shipping and handling. I have decided to use the program "Buyer and Seller Protection" offered by PayPal Inc. I want only legit transactions! Giving the nature of this transaction please note that PayPal will protect us. If you are not aware of how they work you should know that they will give both of us proper protection and also if you dont have an account yet you can simply set up one via http://www.paypal.com after payment is confirmed to you by PayPal, you'll receive terms and conditions that will protect both of us. Inspections will be done by the moving company as soon as payment is verified.If you wish to proceed selling this to me,please provide me your full name, address(street,city,zip,state) and your PayPal name and email address so that I can initiate the payment as soon as i can. Thanks and reply asap.
