Go make a paypal account and act like your going tbrough the deal. I make a game out of these fucktards now, the money will go in then bounce essentially and be pulled from your account a few days later. So once you get the money keep stalling him and the "shippers" saying you cant do it today cuz your dog died, sorry cant do it again today either cuz im in alaska walking with the camels, sorry not today either im in iraq swimming with the polar bears, etc.

It used to drive me nuts all of the scam **** on craigslist but now i look forward to it just to waste their time.

It's been said many times, but it is for sure a scam. when you ask for a phone number he will say some bullshit that he is off seas and doesn't have access to a phone, and that his agent is going to take care of everything for him. I have gotten texts exactly like this when using craigslist to sell cars.

This is a scam!! I got one just like it this year from the ZX7R I am selling. He said he was buying it for his son, and he was a Sargent in the military. I told him it was a scam. His response was he didn't know how it could be a scam since he was sending money through paypal. I told him how he would send the money, take the bike, then the money transfer was no good and I was screwed. I said the only way to show that he wasn't a scammer was to bring cash.. Never heard back from him.

But I got to thinking, what if you could open a bank account with $25 in it. Set up a new paypal account and link to account. Watch the account like a hawk, once the money is in the account, close the account. I am sure you would be liable for the money, but it's not your fault someone tried to scam you. But my guess is the money would never actually show not pending. It would go away before it wasn't pending anymore.
