Phishing for personal information, paypal address, and potentially money 
 Scammer
  Information
Name:
Samantha Smith
Email Address:
samanthasmga@gmail.com
Telephone:
16622686265
I put an item for $700 on craigslist for sale. \"She\" contacted me via text message on my cell and wanted to know the final price I asked. The number displayed in my cell phone was: 1-662-268-6265 and I was asked to write her an email to samanthasmga@gmail.com.
After I sent her an email (was not suspicious at that time) and email came back offering me MORE than I asked, and telling me she was out of state and would like to get my paypal address for sending me money. By this time I knew she was a spammer and I tried to get her to show me a face on skype (so I could explain the piano and then talk details). She did not take the bait so I stopped coms and reported here. (Found other very similar reports of her in this database as well).

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.
