Nigerian scams on Craig List

A very sure way to see if the answer to your Craig List advertising is spam or not is when they

1. Asking for your Pay Pal the first email.
2. Asking if you ship overseas.
3. Telling you he is buying for someone in your country.

This is a very simple Nigeria scam and they will send you some sort of “evidence” that they paid like a false screen shoot from Pay Pal or Western Union. They might also say that Pay Pal does not work so they want to send you the money with wire but they want more information they normal.
Here is a sample email they might send you
