Received this email from Craigslist on an item I have listed. http://tulsa.craigslist.org/pho/4871278080.html


Hi there,
I wouldn't be able to come over and take a look of it today I have doctor appointment but am free anytime tomorrow, What is actual time i can meet you at home ? Then what is last price and phone number ?? ([email protected]) Thanks


Received it on Sunday and a couple items jumped out at me. Doctor's appointment on a Sunday..., No name and gmail email address..

If I answer it he will have my email address no matter what I say, I think it's an invitation to a scam of some sort, what do you guys think?

Dont ever meet at home, or use your regular Email addy, or real phone number. I dont deal with Gmail accounts at all. FTFs in well lit areas only, daytime only, I am always waiting locked and loaded, and have someone with you if possible. So far Ive never had a problem selling or buying anything and everything from cars to guitars. Im usually the one showing up though who looks like the thug robber. And Im pretty sure Ive bought stolen merchandise before.

What is "last price" = scam.
We have a car for sale and I just got a scam email the other day about the guy being on an offshore oil rig, he was gonna paypal the money and has a carrier service pick up the car. lol
