He just tried to buy my camera for his daughter's birthday - but she's in Africa. Thanks for the great save! Makes me sorry for any real Steve Dennises and Ro Jus out there...

They sent me emails regarding a dress I'm selling. All three had the same wording including typos. Smart enough to request more pictures, but when I asked the buyer what parts of the dress she wanted more pictures of, I got a response that she trusts my judgment and is sending a check. Didn't even act phased when I said I wouldn't send the dress till the check cleared. I am pretty sure that Ashley Jackson, Gianni Denise, and Gianna Denise are the same person.

I requested more info and got an email from trencute03@gmail.com. He tells me that he and his wife are working on missionary work in Bell, CA and are unable to care for her. He requests that she either be picked up or shipped. The only thing he's asking for payment for is the shipping. I asked about paypal and he told me he has a shipping agent and uses western union. He gave me shipping agents name/number. I checked around and found that the number he'd given me tor each him was in Washinton State. The number for the shipping agent is in Mryland. He claims to be located in California right now. Glad we read this first! Thanks for the advice! :) Needless to say, or search for a puppy will continue! I found a dog on Cleveland.com.

The bank will add the funds to your acc, you ship the item then a few days later the other bank tells your bank it's a fake PO, and they pull the funds.

Nothing would make me ship anything unless I actually saw the money in my bank account through my bank account branch itself. Anybody who doesn't take the time to check your accounts is out of the mind! they can't fake the money in my bank account, that is what I meant, I'm still not even stupid enough to fall for an email saying my money was transferred.

When it comes to Craigslist, my recommendation is local and cash. Careful… the "account transfers" are part of some of the scams, as emails can be faked.
