Response to craigslist ad:
Thanks for getting back to me. I am from Washington and am also an Artist residing in London. Am still in State now for a break, but
will soon be leaving for England to resume work. The [Brand New Dell XPS M1530 Laptop with lots of extras - $725] is for my Son's Birthday present, he travelled to spend a lil time with his dad where he works in the US consulate office in West Africa, because of his little research.
I'll be paying you through Paypal Account. It secures and
protects two parties in a transaction. Through Paypal I can pay bycredit card or bank account.
I will like you to provide your Paypal Account for payment
to be made and send to your account before you ship it. I'll include $450 for the shipping.
I will forward My husband's Residential address with Paypal to you
for shipping as soon as the payment reaches you. I will be very grateful to hear from you soonest. Thanks for your understanding.

This number keeps calling our line and are trying to sell Dish network with a free DVR. I don't know how they got the number, it is unlisted and only used for the electrician's to call into the office. I pressed one to speak to a sales rep. When I started to tell them who I was, they hung up on me. I called the number back and it said that our number was removed. I know that I have done this in the past and they keep calling our office.
This number called Ontario Canada from Ca. USA. Left no message. When called back.... music on hold played immediately... then a young female voice came on and Laughed... then hung up.
Got e-mail about Visa card not paying for UPS bill. Based on the name that they used to ID me their info came from one of my EBay and PayPal accounts that I set up but do not use. Do not give this guy any info
I don't even think this is a real number, but this is what came up on my caller ID. I answered the phone and there was a beeping sound like a fax machine.
these people call me 2-3 times a day I want them to stop,even onthe weekend this is harrassment.stop the calls i am not interested in whatever you are selling
Ramada vacation resorts trying to sell time shares. Once you get on their list, you'll never get off. I get the same call at the same time every day of my life. please make it stop
The guy started yelling at me about a past debt of mine and when I asked what for, he yelled even more saying they will ruin my credit and they will take me to court and I will have to pay all the legal fees. He said this is my only chance to settle out of court. I asked to receive a written report of the debt and he yelled even more. I finally hung up because I thought no professional company would allow an employee to yell like that.
Called me about a past due amount on a publication and that I owe $299! Now what publication costs THAT much! I asked what the publication was and I never even heard of it. She said that my credit would be ruined and that they have my birthdate so that is the proof I ordered! I told her that anyone can get a birthdate with a reverse phone look up and that proves nothing

"Call 860-269-7632 and verify your City Credit Union account identity immediately."
Do not call this number - City Credit Union does exist and their web site says:
City Credit Union will never contact you requesting personal information. Don't fall victim to a phishing scam, arm yourself with information.
Thanks.
Same thing - I called back and it's always busy!
Called looking for my sister about a contest she entered, but she didn't.
