Kijiji paypal scams: Lisa Macedo and Mary Cole are fake!
Do you like this story?
I'm seeing an awful lot of traffic here lately from people looking for information on Kijiji paypal scams. People are thankfully suspicious enough about the people offering to buy their stuff that they search the names of the senders. They end up hear learning about the fraud they just avoided.
If you get an email from a Lisa Macedo, or a Mary Cole, or Julie Chen or any of the other made-up names offering to buy your item without seeing it, asking you to ship it because they're in a foreign place and can't see what you're selling, it IS a scam.
I'm not saying it might be a scam or that you should proceed with caution. I'm saying it's a fraud, it's baloney, it's entirely bogus and you should absolutely not proceed.
According to comments on a post from YouSuckatKijiji.com more than a year ago, some of the fake names used over and over again by these scammers include but are not limited to:
- Julie Chen or Julie-mansor Chen - juliechen1983@gmail.com or chenjulie0@gmail.com for example
- Mike Goodrich - MikeGoodrichw1@gmail.com
- Veronica Wilson - veronicawilson1236@gmail.com
- Charlie-Carter Morgan
- Mary Cole
Here's the sort of email you might get:
"Thanks for the response Does it need anything to be replace or repair?if theirs please specify,i will take it for the listed price,Payment will be sent using PayPal and i will handle the PayPal surcharge as well.I will arrange with someone to have this picked up for your location once i have paid as i am out of town at the moment. I would appreciate if you email me with more pictures (if available) too,since i won't be be able to see this in person,what's the PayPal email to send funds to in order for me to pay you ASAP. "
If you landed here because you searched for any of the text above: congratulations. You're the target of fraud.
You might also get a Paypal offer by text message for your Kijiji listing. Be smart. Don't fall for it.
Remember: Deal in person. Deal locally. Use cash.
Understand? If you ship to someone you don't know without having real cash money in your hand, you are a fool. Don't do it. These scams are easy to avoid. Avoid them.

June 11, 2013 at 3:53 PM
So do you think these losers have some sort of computer generated response? We just got this exact response from Charlie-Carter Morgan but didn't respond because it was so clearly a scam.
August 22, 2013 at 4:12 PM
I got this one, obviously Scam!!!!!!
Thanks for the prompt response.I'm Okay with the condition of the Bike,
as i have already go through it on the ad but just trying to make
little inquiry from you, I'm ready to buy it now as a gift for my
Daughter, I'm at sea at the moment as I'm a Navy Officer,and due to
the nature of my Job.....phone calls making and visiting of website
are restricted but i squeezed out time to check this advert and send
you a Text regarding it. I really want it to be a surprise for my
Daughter i won't let her know anything about it until it gets
delivered to her, i am sure she will be more than happy with it. I
insisted on paypal because i don't have access to my bank account
online as i don't have internet banking, but i can pay from my paypal
account, as i have my bank a/c attached to it,Get back to me with your
paypal email and the price so i can proceed with the payment quickly,
and sorry if you don't have an Account, you sign-up for a paypal
personal account www.paypal.com, it is very fast and easy to set up.
And there is a shipping company pick up agent that will come for the
pick up after the payment has been sorted out.
Best Regards
Pedro

Just contacted by Kate Lessenger... the scam is alive and well apparently.
thanks for the heads up!
September 10, 2013 at 11:26 AM
I also was contacted by the famous Kate. Thank you for your waste of my time and for making people question morality.
October 10, 2013 at 8:27 PM
Glad I googled this its marycole12@live.com now and for my son as I am on a rig and bad storms atm so no phone
December 31, 2013 at 12:14 PM
Hey all. Please add Emily Syntire to the list of names to watch for. I am currently having an email discussion insisting I use paypal. I keep refusing. Then I did a search and found this site. I have received an email WORD FOR WORD, even the same spelling mistakes as mentioned above in the messages you might get. Obviously the same person. I have reported the email, but unfortunately, this will not catch the bastard. All we can do is let others know. Again, the name EMILY SYNTIRE. Be careful.
December 31, 2013 at 12:19 PM
Sorry, the name is Emily Syntire, emails are; exceedinggrace1-a630@yahoo.com, or esyntire@gmail.com.
Not kidding, it is word for word. cut and pasted. These pricks need to be stopped and punished.
January 2, 2014 at 10:27 AM
I also recieved an email from esyntire@gmail.com but the message was different. Seemed weird though so I just deleted. Its for an ad from kijiji Newfoudland.
January 2, 2014 at 5:24 PM
Also received an email from esyntire@gmail.com ... spider senses were up since this person has not even seen the boat I am selling .. .glad I googled it!
Text of email was: "Thanks for your reply,i just wanted to make sure all bases are covered !I'm satisfied with the condition but how long have you owned it?? and what's your lowest price for it. I love a bargain, so i would like to get it as soon as i can.I would be able to make payment through paypal, i find it the easiest way to use my credit card safely and is a safe and reliable method of payment... Let me know your price for it .I hope to hear from you soon, and i will make all transportation preparations for the it to be transported to my home."
January 4, 2014 at 3:29 AM
Well, it appears Emily is a busy gal! Just got this response for a pool table!
Thanks for the response Does it need anything to be replace or repair?if theirs please specify,i will take it for the listed price,Payment will be sent using PayPal and i will handle the PayPal surcharge as well.I will arrange with someone to have this picked up for your location once i have paid as i am out of town at the moment. I would appreciate if you email me with more pictures (if available) too,since i won't be be able to see this in person,what's the PayPal email to send funds to in order for me to pay you ASAP.
Word for word the same message! Not sure how the fraud works? They want a PayPal email so obviously they can somehow access the personal information from that information?
Thanks for the heads up, I am on my way to delete the communication!
The old adage appears to be true "if it sounds too good to be true, it is!"
Cheers!
January 5, 2014 at 9:38 AM
This Emily must have a lot of free time on her hands. I she has just been in touch with me, too. Odd that she is interested in purchasing furniture at 2:56 a.m. I just copied and pasted these pages to her email accounts and asked her to "explain".
January 5, 2014 at 9:45 AM
Just got the same message regarding an item I have on Kijiji. This is the email address exceedinggrace1-a887@yahoo.com How does this scam work?
January 6, 2014 at 2:12 PM
I have also been scammed by this scam creep. I went as far as setting up a PayPal account (although I felt something was not quite right) and then when "she" sent the mailing info it said Nigeria and she wanted the answers to my confidential questions. I immediately deleted the pay pal accounts, changed all my passwords and contacted Pay Pal for investigation. I now am getting bogus invoices from "her" saying I owe her $600 and the FBI will be investigation and charging me if I don't pay up. What a piece of work this "Emily" is. Add Keshia David to this list as well.
January 7, 2014 at 12:44 PM
Yes, Keshia David is the latest name to add, "she" is trying to purchase furniture from me as we speak. I just sent her a legit paypal invoice, and I'm waiting for the reply where she claims she needs some extra payment...is it wrong to toy with these people?
January 10, 2014 at 1:08 PM
li1xc-503@yahoo.com, received this new e-mail address today for the same seadoo that Emily wanted. Look out for this one to. He wants to use Pay pal.
(Hello,Does this need any repair or the ads say it all
January 10, 2014 at 1:09 PM
exceedinggrace1-290@yahoo.com just received this e-mail from Emily.
Wanting more pics and will take it for full asking price plus pay all extra charges
Yeah Right
January 13, 2014 at 9:06 AM
Thanks for the warning. I got exact same email message as above and few others insisting I use Paypal.
Watch out for:
Emily Syntire

January 13, 2014 at 10:10 AM
Absolutely right, I googled Emily before I went any further, was warned by all you good people. Thanks
January 14, 2014 at 12:05 PM
I got contacted by "Emily Syntire" this morning and almost fell for the scam? Does anyone know what happens when one tries to through with one of these weird deals?
January 28, 2014 at 6:36 PM
Indeed thanks for the post ! I got an "Emily Syntire <emilysyntire123@gmail.com" contacting me as well.
January 29, 2014 at 10:22 AM
I've received many of these emails in the past as I move a lot of products thru Toronto Kijiji. Last night I received and email from "Emily Syntire <emilysyntire123@gmail.com" asking the standard cut and paste bad spelling/bad grammar request for my PayPal account info. I contacted the Toronto Internet Fraud division but they said there is nothing they can do about it. What the fuck do you mean there is nothing they can do about it I asked! It's fraud, and it's on the internet.
MAYBE IF PEOPLE START CALLING THE POLICE THEY WILL BE FORCED TO DO THEIR JOBS AND CATCH THESE MOTHERFUCKERS!
REPORT THEM IN TORONTO HERE:

February 3, 2014 at 6:05 PM
thanks for the heads up. I googled the name Emily Syntire and yes, word for word. Will tell 'her' what I know and cease communications
thanks so very much all...
February 4, 2014 at 10:21 AM

same thing occurred to me few days ago...here is the email from the illiterate Emily Syntire who need s to take English as a second language to improve her writing capabilities..here is her petty fraudulent email...
It is important we know the status of the merchandise bought from you by one of our clients, Emily Syntire with Transaction ID:9XR6056157684563M, otherwise legal action will be taken against you since you have not e-mailed us the western union money transfer information and scanned receipt of the western union money transfer.

You are now mandated to transfer the sum of $1,100.00 CAD to the buyer's shipping company as part of the amount to send and email us the proof of transfer within the next 24hrs, failure to do so would result to the involvement of the FBI for violating PayPal's instructions and users agreement in act of the 1999 Law in collaboration with the World Law Enforcement Agency.

she needs to get a legit job...
February 5, 2014 at 7:53 PM
I guess this is her job. Maybe she can frighten ppl into sending money
April 7, 2014 at 10:18 PM
Also add Angelina Paul and Jane Herich...Exact texts,,word for word...living far away..pay by paypal. I'm smart enough to get it quickly, but I worry about elderly people who might fall prey to these jerks. So a word of warning...if your mom or pops need anything sold, sell it for them so they don't fall victims to a$$holes like these....
April 9, 2014 at 5:39 PM
I got a fraudulous email from Jane Herich (janeherich1@outlook.com).
Same thing.
April 9, 2014 at 6:47 PM
First I got a text asking if I still had the furniture for sale from phone number 1 514 416 8985, and if so could I email her at janeherich1@outlook.com (the furniture is about 60 10 ft pews) I said yes and sent her a video link where they are posted on youtube. She responded.Jane Herich (janeherich1@outlook.com)

what is your price ? $400 each Carl Hayden - Carls AquariumHi, I am Jane Herich. I'm satisfied with the price and i really want to buy it. I would have love to come for the viewing by the weekend, but My place is way too far from there in which i am located in Cape Breton. So i thought of how to make this transaction work between us, which i came to conclusion with my husband to use a courier company to pick up the item from your place but we will send the money to your account first and after you get the money in your account, the pick up company will come to help us carry it. Since i'd not be seeing the item before i purchase it, i would like you to send some recent pictures of its present state to be sure you still have it and its in good condition. If the pictures pleases me, then we can go ahead with the transaction and will send the money to you without delay.... Lest i forget, i would be transferring the funds to you through PayPal. Please reply with your opinion ASAP Thanks.. ( I was happy until I got to the line about Pay Pal)Did you watch the video, when you see one you like see what time it is in the video and and I can stop by and take a bunch of pictures of the specific one you are interested in, we are not setup for pay pal, we do email money transfers instead. She sent back, I can only do paypal. I sent back. Emails from people who will not do EMT and will only do pay pal are always fraudulent that is why we only do EMT

I have just had a text message from number +61 427 344 672 and an email from colemary01@outlook.com offering to buy furniture that I had for sale on Gumtree. I have now reported this woman to Gumtree and SCAMWatch!!

As for the payment..i can only pay via the fastest and secure way to pay online(PayPal) here.

May 4, 2014 at 11:27 PM
I got the same email and phone text from Jane Herich. Word for word. Thought it was to easy so I googled her name and found this. I hate theives! Keep the posts coming with all the new names.
So I responded to her email:
Hi Jane
You should be ashamed of yourself ripping people off! You are a terrible scammer and a terrible human being praying on innocent people!
I hate thieves! You deserve to be punished and I hope you and your family experience bad karma!
Most of all I hope you get caught! You obvious don't believe in a higher power but you will get yours when your time comes.
Why don't you spend your time doing something positive and influential? Wait, your are incapable because you don't have a soul. Your are pure evil!
May 7, 2014 at 8:27 AM
I had a fraudulent email/conversation with Jane Herich as well, word for word, Kijiji Toronto on May 6.
May 8, 2014 at 5:37 PM
Just was approached by Jane Herich, using email address and SMS/phone number 514-437-0341
Here is the email sent:

May 17, 2014 at 7:56 PM
I just got a text from "Parker" tel. number 843-405-4462, wanting to buy my piano and have it shipped from Ontario to South Carolina!!!! We texted back and forth for a bit, but I still wasn't quite comfortable about the distance. This is the first time I have used kijiji and only just found out from my daughter that it is a local buyer/seller setup, so then I obviously got suspicious and sent "Parker" a text saying I sold the piano locally.
I thought because they were talking of payment through Pay Pal that it was legit, but I guess the scammers have found some way around that too.

I think they are after the pay pal account and try to change the password. After they get your email and phone number. I suggest changing it if you gave it to them.

May 21, 2014 at 1:57 PM
Jane Herich again here with number 514-437-1333. With email below.
have just completed the payment and you must have been notified in your email about the payment i made Via PayPal,Kindly check your e-mail inbox/junk/spam folder for confirmation of payment, I transferred a total sum of $12,585.00 Inclusive of the Shipping charges.
I added the amount of $1,085.00 paid Via PayPal, you will have to send $985.00 as an Upfront Payment to the Pick Up agent via Money Gram so they can make arrangements for the pick up date and exchange time Officially.
NOTE: PayPal won't credit the funds until they receive the Money Gram information from you due to Transaction Safety Tips regarding excess payments made for the Pick Up/Shipping charges.
I will need you to send the $985.00 to the Agency Headquarters where they confirm all commission payments via Money Gram Money Transfer, this can be done from any post office as they usually have Money Gram outlets there, the additional $100.00 was added to cover the Money Gram Transfer Sending Fee charged to send Money
This is the shipping address you have to send the money to ;-

Hi, I am Jane Herich. I'm satisfied with the price and i really want to buy it. I would have love to come for the viewing by the weekend, but My place is way too far from there in which i am located in Cape Breton. So i thought of how to make this transaction work between us, which i came to conclusion with my husband to use a courier company to pick up the item from your place but we will send the money to your account first and after you get the money in your account, the pick up company will come to help us carry it. Since i'd not be seeing the item before i purchase it, i would like you to send some recent pictures of its present state to be sure you still have it and its in good condition. If the pictures pleases me, then we can go ahead with the transaction and will send the money to you without delay.... Lest i forget, i would be transferring the funds to you through PayPal. Please reply with your opinion ASAP Thanks.

3rd e-mail: here i told her i don't have a paypal account
Hi, paypal is the easiest, simplest and most secure way to make payment online. You can open an account with them on www.paypal.com and when you open it, we transfer the money to your paypal account with the email you used to open the the account with them. As soon as we send the money to your account, then you can transfer it to your bank account or your credit card.
She could've got me very easily. I just created the account with paypal then I thought it was a bit too much just for a furniture and I googled her name just in case.
Thank you guys for reporting the account!

Thanks for posting guys, got the same text from Jane Herich janeherich01@outlook.com
Started with a text from 647 738 5341. then came an odd response to my email when I already told them the price. "Hi, what is your asking price, then where are you located and what is your number ?"
Something didn't feel right and this lead me to search their name leading me here.
thanks again for posting.
July 18, 2014 at 11:32 AM
same thing here. Angelina Paul is pregnant and can't come pick up my 30 foot camper, so her husband and her will send a courier. I wonder how many poor people might actually get taken by this BS.
July 21, 2014 at 4:18 PM
Looks like Jane is making a name for herself. Just received this after posting an ad on Kijiji to sell my motorcycle no more than 2 hours ago:

same here with Jane Herich. Saying she and husband interested in first text and asked if still for sale. I replied its still for sale, then text asking me how much I want, where I live and what is my phone number. I got suspicious and googled the name which led me here. Thank you for taking the time to post about this scammer.
July 27, 2014 at 11:27 AM
Same here with KATE JOHNSON regarding a table I put on Kijiji. "She" wanted to buy it for her son but lived in Yukon and was unable to view it at my place.
She sent me a money gram link with instructions on how to pay her 500$ upfront. When I declined, a young male with a foreign accent (claiming he was Kate's husband) CALLED MY HOUSE to insist on the transaction!
Scary. Be vigilant!!!

Due to my present location, my choices are limited and not often available by the phone. I am an honorable woman and you will receive your money cash in hand before this is picked up. However, it's easy and free to open a paypal account. Just go to there website www.paypal.com and sign up a personal account there. Paypal is the world leading payment master that protects both buyer/seller interest. You are on a secured transaction with paypal. Above all, it's like instant cash. As soon as you open an account, get back to me with the name and email that you linked with your paypal account and I will have your money sent asap. And due to the nature of my job and having being a paypal customer for the past 6 year with no charge back,I feel more comfortable sending my funds via paypal due to there various security measures at ensuring safe and secured transaction between both buyer/seller. But, if you feel otherwise, I totally understand
Regards

After a couple of replies, and an unanswered call to her phone (514-416-9209) it was obvious (he) she was a scammer.
August 30, 2014 at 9:50 AM
Just got the Jane Herich one. First red flag was Cape Bretton. Why would you ship that far. But one I said I would take more pics of the item. The response was Since the pics are recent I will send money. "Uhm I said I would send... ok, robot responder". So that's when I typed in her name sure this would come up.
TAH DAH! F'n scam artists. She requested I take the AD down.

Have a great weekend!
September 21, 2014 at 1:41 PM
Just had the same experience here with herlenethomas@outlook.com. If you receive a text message from them saying they are interested in buying some stuff from you on Kijiji and asking to send them an email to herlenethomas@outlook.com, don't respond to it this is a huge arnack.
September 21, 2014 at 4:31 PM
Hey everyone. I received an email this morning from a "Herlene Thomas", inquiring about a bedroom set I put on sale through Kijiji Montreal. I was very excited because this was the first response I had gotten. She texted asking to email her on herlenethomas@outlook.com, if the pieces were still available. I did and she wrote back;
"I'm satisfied with the price and i really want to buy it. I would have love to come for the viewing by the weekend, but My place is way too far from there in which i am located in Halifax. So i thought of how to make this transaction work between us, which i came to conclusion with my husband to use a courier company to pick up the item from your place but we will send the money to your account first and after you get the money in your account, the pick up company will come to help us carry it.

Please reply with your opinion ASAP Thanks"
So when I came back from work, I took the new pics and sent them to her. While I was waiting for the response, out of curiosity, I googled her name. Don't know why, I guess I just wanted to see who I was speaking with lol but anyhow I found this page and I'm glad I did. What a scam!!! I'm actually pretty disappointed, but I should have known sooner. She texted with a Montreal area code (514-416-4022), but apparently lives in Halifax lol? Should have pieced it together sooner, but thanks to this thread, I'm saved! I hope no one falls for this scam and btw she's emailed me twice asking for my paypal info :| Stay aware friends!

Further to the one above, they provided me with a photograph of a Nova Scotia Drivers licence for an Angelina PAUL. When comparing same to a real NS drivers licence they forgot to place a signature under the photo, there is no expiry date and the date of birth is listed in two places....and you guessed it they were not the same. One 1966-11-07 and one 1966-06-20. Then in the email portion I was given the phone number of her husband 920-309-6695 (according to my search this number is listed in De Perre Wisconsin - with Verizon Wireless; but in another area the number is claimed for India). the email used is angelinapaul2002@outlook.com

I got this text message for my kijiji ad, and was suspicious cause it was not sent to my email:
"hi, do you still have your furniture on kijiji for sale? Its urgently needed please email me back at (herlenethomas@outlook.com)"
The 'urgently' is also strange.
Thanks for this site !

Due to my present location, my choices are limited and not often available by the phone. I am an honorable woman and you will receive your money cash in hand before this is picked up. However, it's easy and free to open a paypal account. Just go to there website www.paypal.com and sign up a personal account there. Paypal is the world leading payment master that protects both buyer/seller interest. You are on a secured transaction with paypal. Above all, it's like instant cash. As soon as you open an account, get back to me with the name and email that you linked with your paypal account and I will have your money sent asap. And due to the nature of my job and having being a paypal customer for the past 6 year with no charge back,I feel more comfortable sending my funds via paypal due to there various security measures at ensuring safe and secured transaction between both buyer/seller. But, if you feel otherwise, I totally understand

Looks like Angelina Paul has switched it up to Helen Paul now helenpaul001@outlook.com..she first texted me with the same 514 area code # which she did not respond to my text she asked me to email her, even thought she could have emailed me via my ad. I knew it was to easy, seems she's gotten a little lazy lol
Here's what she wrote :
I'm satisfied with it and i'm really interested in buying it. I would have love to come to view it tomorrow, but My place is away far, we just moved to New Glasgow.. So i thought to use a courier company, to pickup the item from your place but we will send the money to your account first and after you get the money in your account. The pickup Agent will be coming for the pick up. So I will forward it to the shipping company to calculate the cost of pick up for me. I'll be waiting for the address where the item is, so i can send it to my Pickup Agent for the calculation of there fees and i'm sure they will get back to me soon. So about the payment i will like the payment to be made via PayPal online secure payment .. Please get back to me with this Information as well.

Ok. I would have love to explain more better on phone but, due to the
nature of my job,making phone calls and visiting website are
restricted but i took permission from our IT Admin to check this
advert and instructed you to email so I am not allowed to get out of
the unit or give calls. I am an honorable person,you will receive your
full money cash in hand from your paypal before my mover comes for
pick up at your place. Pls, I want you to visit www.paypal.com and
sign up for your free personal paypal account, they will activate your
email address to your paypal account and link it with your bank
account/debit card so you can transfer and receive money online via
your paypal account. Please activate yours it's free. Paypal is the
biggest payment processor on the Internet that protects both
buyer/seller's interest. You are on a secured transaction with paypal.
Above all, it's like an instant cash. As soon as you setup an
account,get back to me with your paypal info (name and email) and I
will have your money sent immediately. But, if you feel otherwise, I

Hi, do you still have your furniture for sale? Me and my husband are interested, please email me back at angelinapaul111@outlook.com
Knowing it's a scam I replied with "Yes, it's available but I'm not shipping it to Cleveland". I also called and left a message but the voicemail said the number (440) 925-5852 was an extension. Beware! and thank you for having this site!!!

Thanks to everyone who posted about this fraudster! I thought it was fishy, and then saw this blog. Now I have confirmation. Be vigilant!
May 9, 2015 at 7:50 PM
I also had a reply from Angelina Paul angelinapaul111@outlook.com 514.416.4878 saying her and her husband are interested and asking if the furniture was still for sale. Also, asking for an address so she can come for the viewing. Thankfully we didn't give our address. But this one didn't give as much suspicious information in the inquiry, so I thought people should know if they are using a different angle now.
May 10, 2015 at 5:26 PM
Angelina Paul is alive and kicking...
Same scenario: shortly after posting an ad, received the following SMS from 514-416-6594:

You'd think they'd change the name after over a year of scamming...

BE AWARE! Just received a similar text and corresponding email from someone named Jonathan Adams (phone: +1-206-582-6429; email: jonathan_adams01@contractor.net).
He said he was interested in buying my furniture, and then asked me to take down my ad to enable him to make payment. I thought it was suspicious, asked him to e-transfer the money before I took down the ad, and this is what he responded:
"I would have love to come for the viewing and make Payment by cash but can't make it due to the distance and am very busy for the next two to three weeks here in the site we are having a building setting up i'm located 1035 Beaverhill Boulevard, Winnipeg, MB R2J 3R2, Canada. So i thought of how to make this transaction work between us, which i came to conclusion to use a courier company to pick up the King bed from your place after confirming the money in your account. The Courier Transport agents will be coming for the pick up. So I will email the pictures and the address to the courier transport head office for calculation of there fee and i'm sure they will get back to me soon. So about the payment i will like the payment to be done via PayPal online E-mail Transfer Payment .. Because am using a merchant business Paypal account Transfer is instant fast and secure means Please get back to me with this Information to enable me proceed with the payment.

I would have love to come for the viewing by the weekend, but My place is way too far from there in which i am located in Halifax Nova Scotia. So i thought of how to make this transaction work between us, which i came to conclusion with my husband to use a courier company to pick up the item from your place but we will send the money to your account first and after you get the money in your account, the pick up company will come to help us carry it. Since i'd not be seeing the item before i purchase it, i would like you to send some recent pictures of its present state to be sure you still have it and its in good condition. If the pictures pleases me, then we can go ahead with the transaction and will send the money to you without delay.... Lest i forget, i would be transferring the funds to you through PayPal. Please reply with your opinion ASAP Thanks.
Angelina............
This is when it made no sense, checked this site and voila, scammer, so played the game with her and her next email was
Please send your paypal email and your mobile number, so that we can proceed with the payment and seal the purchase. Please send a number to reach you as well, so that we can call you to talk after we send the money to you.
I ended the emails with this email
Hi Angelina,
I forgot to share this with you. Please check the link below:

I'm satisfied with it and i'm really interested in buying it. I would have love to come to view it today, but My place is away far, we just moved to Halifax. So i thought to use a courier company, to pickup the item from your place but we will send the money to your account first and after you get the money in your account. The pickup Agent will be coming for the pick up. So I will forward it to the shipping company to calculate the cost of pick up for me. I'll be waiting for the address where the item is, so i can send it to my Pickup Agent for the calculation of there fees and i'm sure they will get back to me soon. So about the payment i will like the payment to be made via PayPal online secure payment .. Please get back to me with this Information as well.
1.The price.
2.Your PayPal Full Name.
3.Your Paypal E-mail address.
4.Your phone number.
Best Regards.

Listed my vehicle for sale on kijiji, got a text from (951)465-8269 asking me to email joeyhopman931@live.com if the vehicle was still for sale. I emailed him and questioned why he was texting me from california. I got this reply:
I was only thinking you must have had some other buyer's interested in buying it from you, So i thought the best way to outbid them is by offering an additional $800 bucks to your asking price on the add. I'll not be able to come for the inspection my self due to present Job location but i have a Pick-Up agent who will be contacting you about when and where the pick-up will be taking place after have completed the payment transaction with you my self . I'm actually willing to purchase it right away and be transported to Ontario where my parents reside, Please tell me a little bit more about the present mechanical condition and how often you do the service and the history then we can take it from there. waiting to read from you and if we can come to a quick agreement i will proceed with the payment
-->I emailed him back that I only do cash transactions. He sent me this reply:
Am very much interested in buying it from you right away so you don't have to look around for any other buyer and before i can send it sent it home for use i have to make sure the its in a good condition and i hope you understand my point because there is no way i come to do the inspection my self, It will be picked by an agent and be transported it to my Parents in Ontario and based on trust whatever you tell me about the good and the bad aspect is what i will believe and also inform the Pick-up agent and after have completed the payment and you have received your cash in hand the agent will contact you about where and when the pick up will take place and they will also be of assistance to do the change of ownership when they get there. but before i proceed with the Payment is there is any problem which you're yet to mention that i should know ?, if not then please do REMOVE the add online now till i have completed the transaction . And please send me your PAYPAL EMAIL for payment and i will complete the Payment right right away
--->I replied Nope, local deals only, face to face cash transactions at the bank.
I listed his phone number, name (Joseph Hopman) and email here so others googling the script can find it online. SCAM

Hi, Am happy to read back from you, I was actually thinking you must have had some other buyer's interested in buying it from you, So i thought the best way to outbid them is by offering an additional $800 on-top your own asking price on the Kijiji add lol. To start with, I'll not be able to come for the inspection my self due to my present Location right now but have got a Pick-Up agent who will be contacting you about when and where the pick-up will be taking place from you , but that will be after have completed the Payment Transaction by my self you to you. I'm willing to purchase it right away and it will be transported to Ontario where my parents reside,so you don't have to look around for any other buyer, but before anything i have to make sure its in a good condition as it is on the Kijiji add and i hope you understand my point because there is no way i come to do the inspection my self But am so happy with all the details i read about it on line. Is any other problem which you're yet to mention on the add that i should know ?, if not then please do REMOVE the add online right now till have made the Payment
September 29, 2015 at 6:06 PM
Here is another "buyer" you should avoid.
Email used is karrenfred2@outlook.com who claims to be from Cape Breton, Nova Scotia with a California phone number of 415-548-7589 and last but not the least a money gram name of David Wooten from South Carolina. Talk about really fishy situation.
In summary the person wants me to send money first to a "shipping" company using a nicely composed email from "onlinepaypalservice@yahoo.com".
Name: David Wooten
Address: 297 Industrial Dr
City: Lexington
State: South Carolina
Zipcode: 29073
Country: United States
Here is the nicely composed email scam:
