Hi, Thanks for your input.  Has to be same person as the one posted in L.A. The person posts simultaneous messages in all cities on Craigslist. Luckily there are hundreds and it's been going on for years that people have seen this old scam so many times that no one I know from studying this for 2 yrs has actually gone through with it.   Whose phone number is this?  Is it yours or is it part of the scammers canned reply to you?? ...

These maggots post hundreds of the same fake car ads in every major city in U.S. every single day using software that allows them to post hundreds of the same post in every city.  Flagging the fake ads with Craigslist as "prohibited" is a waste of time but glad Craigslist finally posted a huge RED warning message alerting everyone who logs into car, truck used car sales.  I would hope people pay attention to that and when they see Craigslist littered with these phony ads....if it is too good to be true, it is.........No way could a 2005 Cvherokee EVER be $4,600, come on people...Really.   Anyway, when you get a response from a maggot scammer, (not sure why you'd answer an ad like this but....) please do forward it and post the Header of the email you've received so the actual IP address of the perp can be listed. Forward that all to spamcop.net and they will turn that info into an email to the actual carrier and this is best way to at least get their email account eliminated....not much help, I know.....especially since they constantly get their G mail accounts cancelled this way and they just create new G mail accounts.     I'm so glad to hear no one here fell for the trap and wired money via fake ebay and fake paypal emails they send to the interested buyer. If you get those fakeys , forward to abuse at ebay and they will do absolutely nothing about it....shame, eh? ... View more

It looked real to me.......email addresses with ..."@ebay.com" are legit. I just rec'd a phishing/frake/fraud ebay document and right away I noticed email address ...@e.Bay.com....... Wrong, Wrong....When I viewed the full header and forwarded the junk email to Spam Cop, their system verified it was not ebay but something called "marcatel.com" which is probably an ISP outside US.  So obviously in ebay search there is no such item number but not sure how one would go about seeing if there is a member named "bumblee 360...."      Your registered name is included to show this message originated from eBay.

Hi there, I'm glad to have gotten your message this morning, thanks!! I'm 100% in agreement without seeing the doc, of course, but your well done list of three below is right on the bullseye.   If both of us are correct, these folks are SCAMMERS for their proposed/hopeful fraud of stealing you blind and also SPAMMERS for probably searching the internet for ecommerce victims, good point you made. I'm curious how the "TO:" of the email reads, was it to your name or business directly or does it look like you were part of some massive dump of emails as receiver?  If you have any questions on the different places to report these things that were emailed to you, let me know.   I enjoyed hearing from you today. Have a nice one!!! Barbarella B. Atherton, CA   ... View more

Hi Walt!!  Good question.  No, you would only email to spoof@ebay.com.  PayPal didn't create their own spoof email address because the mothership, ebay, has the safety and security dept which also handles issues for the PayPal division, as well.   Just so you know (and I don't like this entirely), the reply you'll get is a canned response saying thank you and we'll notify the Fraud unit appropriately...yada yada...and blah blah......   My problem with this is every forward you, me and whoever sends is not boilerplate stuff so the canned response really felt like they just took our email forwarded work and stuffed it into some e-folder or something.  My only request was for that canned response letter to AT LEAST offer an email address to the person on the canned letter inviting us to email THAT PERSON for any individual (human eyes) for any additional questions or info we'd like to relay that is SPECIFIC to what we're talking abouit on that ONE instance.     I had a few emails with a Mr. Chet Ricketts who was nice to acknowledge my rec but nothing will probably change. I got feel they don't have staffing options to blindly offer narcs like us to fill their ears and emails with our additional detective work.....cie la vi (sp?)..............I was nice to forward all that stuff for their benefit (and to hopefully bust the **bleep** of the maggot scammer criminals, as well) and they were KIND enough to respond witha bit of corporate gobbley **bleep** - a perfect American business transaction, eh?  All is good!!   Ask me anything else anytime. I have SOOOO much more info I could fill a novel.  I've belonged to a Scam Baiting org which is really interesting....I mean REALLY interesting....well, I've gone on and on.   Later ... View more
