Craigslist "buyer" attempts to have me send him money before he pays for the item. 
 Scammer
  Information
Name:
Steven Noel
Email Address:
stevenoel10@gmail.com
Steven Noel offered to buy an item for $1600 on Craigslist, but claimed he would send an agent to pick it up after he paid me via paypal. Subsequent email asked me to send him $1000 via Western Union (to pay his agent) before he would send me the $1600. At that point I stopped corresponding with the scammer. I subsequently received emails from

ownlogo@gmail.com
pick-up_agent@consultant.com

purporting to act as Steven Noel\'s agents, and further requesting the $1000.

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.
