This guy just sent me this email in response to my inquiry about a moving job posted on F'n craigslist. I swear that site needs to step up their accountability somehow. I don't know what, if anything, that they'd be able to do. Nothing, no doubt. It was sent by a Camhill Dotchman (
camhillbuck@gmail.com). There's no way I'm falling for this. Seriously, craigslist needs to really plaster their site about wire transfers, Western Union, and the like. Even more that now, and they need t attach this site (ScamVictimsUnited) to their main page or whatever. I guarantee that more than half of these scams could have been prevented.
Hello How are you doing? It's really nice to hear back from you quickly,it shows your effectiveness and i think I'm going to be satisfied if i let you handle the moving, I'm looking for a good and honest person to help with the loading and moving of the listed items from my old to new apt within the area.
4- Three Sitter Couches
2- center Table
4- 21 inches tv
3- Table Lamps
2- Rug (90 lbs)
I'm willing to pay($750) for moving this items within 45 mins (one or two guys,no stair case or elevator),i think this is a reasonable price since you already have the list of items I'm moving and the distance, it shouldn't take more than 2-3 hours to have this items moved, you will be provided with the date and time by my new landlord, as soon as I'm done making payments to you for the moving he will be taking you to the pick up and drop off address in person immediately i contact him that i have finally paid for the moving service.
I need to know your area and zip code to see if you can do the moving Job fast and quick,This is very Important for me to know??
I want the moving to be done before i get back to the states in June ending, i already made arrangements for the payment and also the keys to the apts,my landlord will be showing you the apts so the locations shouldn't be a problem, he will there to help you, i will be calling the landlord of the old apt so he can be around the house for packing and loading, i will instruct my client to issue and mail out the payment he owes me so you can deduct the $750 which i believe is a reasonable amount for moving the items listed within the area, have the remaining funds wired to the landlord of the new apt via WESTERN UNION MONEY TRANSFER so he can bring down the keys to you and he would be available when you drop the items,the remaining funds you will be wiring to the new, landlord is the balance payment for my new apt,I'm only doing this cause I'm presently out of the states and i want things to go perfect before my return.
If you think you can handle this move,kindly get back to me with the
