Classified Ads Scam
Craigslist (craiglist.com) |  +1 Alice Cage Craiglist scam I put an ad on craiglist...shortly after I receive an email from \"Alice Cage\" asking if I still had the item. I replied that I did, and then I received the following email- \"Thank you for getting back to me. Can you assure me that it\'s in good
condition and that i will not be disappointed with it. i will love to
buy this item.i want to be the best offer by adding $100 to your money
then keep other offers off,where i am i don\'t have access to my bank
account and i have access to my paypal account.I insisted on paypal
because i don\'t have access to my bank account online as i don\'t have
internet banking, but i can pay from my paypal account, as i have my
bank account attached to it, i will need you to give me your paypal
email address so i can make the payment asap for the item and if you
don\'t have paypal account yet, it is very easy to set up, go to
http://www.paypal.com and get it set up , after you have set it up i
will only need the e-mail address you use for registration with paypal
so as to put the money through. I have a pick up agent that will come
and pick the item up after i have made the payment. Get back to me in
time.\"
Of course, this is an obvious scam. I googled the name with the word \"scam\" and came to multiple reports of the same message and scam. Look out! |

we offer a car for sale, and got an email from "alice cage", that is pretty much the same as previously reported scams under this name:

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.
