Same as others, I received the exact same emails word for word with the exception of the item description I had posted on Craigslist. I was contacted initially to see if the item was still available and when I responded I was emailed directly. Over the course of several weeks, the person(s) would contact me intermittently as to why the money had not been sent. The person also uses the lines \"I am a God fearing person\" and \"I recently lost my mother to cancer\" to make them sound more trustworthy. I got suspicious when an overpayment was mentioned. I did some research and email this person that the transaction was cancelled and that I had reported the potential scam to Craigslist. Even after doing this the person contacted me offering me and extra 50 dollars for my troubles.

Since you’re here …
we have a small favour to ask. More people are visting Scamdex and Scamalot than ever but advertising revenues are falling fast and we have no 'product' to sell. And unlike many informational websites, we haven’t put up a paywall or membership barrier – we want to keep our site as open as we can. So you can see why we need to ask for your help. Scamdex/Scamalot websites takes a lot of time, money and hard work to keep running. We do this because we hate to see our fellow humans getting scammed out of their hard-earned money by low-lives.
