On Craigslist he wants to buy my item & he wants me to open a google account. This is what he emailed to me:

You don\'t have to worry about the shipment, because I will hire Shipping Company that they will come for the Pick-up at your location. you can easily get an account with google checkout by visiting checkout.google.com its reliable and easy to use, i find it the easiest way to use my credit card safely and reliable method of payment, you only have to add your credit/debit card account to it and your money will be transfer into your credit/debit card account when the payment has been made, get back to me with your google checkout email account when you done, for me to make the payment. looking forward to read from you asap


I felt this whole thing sounded fishy I checked out his email address on google & it showed several toddjoels with other email addresses. toddjoel...scammer. DO NOT even answer his email.

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.
