janet simpson janet simpson - Woman's handbag scam

Scamchecker does great job preventing people from being scammed.
It's absolutely fantastic to read that you have managed to escape that scam trap.
Kudos to you and Scamchecker!

I posted a bag for sale as well last week and I was approached by the same person with exactly the same email content! Lucky that my bf and I googled the person and address and found that it's actually a scam.

The same thing happened to me.
I posted a purse to sell on Craigslist.
"Janet Simpson" contacted me saying she's interested and would pay using Paypal.
Eventually she confirmed to purchase it after I've added the shipping charge.
But for a couple of days I had not heard from her anymore.
Eventually today, I end up receiving some sort of bogus email claiming it's from Paypal.
This email actually looks exactly like a payment transaction email sent from Paypal, except at the bottom of the page, it says that I has to ship out the purse and confirm the tracking # before Paypal would credit the payment into my account.
Since I've dealt with receiving payments from Paypal before, and never seen a case where the seller has to ship out the good before receiving the money.
I actually sent an email to the actual Paypal customer service.
Paypal confirmed to me that it's a spoof mail.
And just now that my husband searched about this person and stumble across this forum.
Thanks anyway.

I'm really happy I googled the address and found these postings.
I posted a bag on Craigslist and received the following request:

I recently posted an ad on craigslist and received a message from Jones Matty wanting my paypal address. I thought it was a scam and decided to do some checking. I now see that its the same email address as the one you people have provided. Thank goodness I checked here.

Seconding the comment above, watch out for messages from these three email addresses:
"service@intl.paypal.com." , adeyemi008@gmail.com, jonesma055@gmail.com

They're a scam. Tried to purchase something from us from Craigslist and said money had been sent to PayPal, but it was a forged email from PayPal.

Thanks for this service.

Thanks for your opinion. discount handbags I totally like with it.I like cheap designer handbags as well and someone is looking for new era caps? People usually prefer cheap handbags online, especially when they visit some clothing store. In some areas,people like to wholesale clothing. They will find some store doing very cheap or discounted handbags outlet. Certainly, is a good way to earn money.
