Craigslist scammer alert LA area

[byosti]

There's a scammer in the Craigslist Los Angeles area trying to sell Incredible Hulk #1 books he doesn't own.

Incredible Hulk #1 Craigslist

 

Yesterday I was alerted to the post, which at the time contained an Incredible Hulk #1 6.5 I currently own for sale. He has subsequently changed it to an Incredible Hulk #1 5.5 SS that was sold on eBay recently. I was able to get his e-mail address that is linked to his Paypal and contacted Paypal regarding possible scams.

His e-mail address also appears to be used by a couple social media sites like Twitter, IG, etc. when you google it. Google Search e-mail address

It seems we need a subforum of the buy/sell forum just for stuff like this. Sigh.

Pretty obvious, blatant, and nasty scam. I hope nobody falls for it. "NO MEET UPS!" What a creep. Nice job on reporting it to PayPal and alerting others to the scam.

Right? It also looks like in on one of those links that he is in St. Louis and not even LA.

Clicked. I hope many others will do the same. If they get a lot of notifications from different IP addresses they'll be likely to shut it down.

Thanks to the OP for finding and communicating this scam.

 

Sure, it's only a game of whack-a-mole but it slows down the scammers and might even make them give up.
