Samantha Lewis - [email protected]

Whoa! This is the email I was just sent. It was sent literally seconds after I replied to their phone text, and I thought it was suspicious. Wording is almost exactly what you wrote about. The user is "Samantha Lewis <[email protected]>". Seller Beware!

Hello,
Thanks for taking out time to mail me,i was just typing this. I'm okay with your listed price and I'm looking to buy your furniture but the only way I can is through a Check which I will mail next day via UPS.

I can wait for the check to clear before i get the furniture picked. I will be responsible for the pickup and it will be done by my movers,i will include their payment in the check i send to you.This is all due to me being deaf and it makes it hard to deal with this,also it will make this transaction better and quicker.

I am sure you were not expecting this and I would have also loved to come for the viewing but I cant as I'm away for surgery.I really want this and am offering an extra 50 for you to delete the Ad and reserve it for me, i am just settling into my new house and looking for good furniture deals to furnish my place with

If you are okay with this please send me extra pictures if you have any and get back to me with

1)Your Full name
2)Your Physical address
3)Final price after including the extra 50

I got the exact same email, also received at the same moment I sent mine. Mine came from I am glad I found this site. I found it while searching for the name Samantha Lewis, because something didn't seem right about that email....they also sent a text from 615-716-8170, but I suspect they used a spoofing app for that.

Email I got:

This is definitely a scam, I got the email with the very same wording.

My friend placed an ad on Craigslist and got the following email from them as well as a text - I'm glad that I checked this site first before he replied. The text came from 503 864 6584:

^^Welcome to Scamwarners, Thank you for the update.

(503) 864-6584
503-864-6584 is a VoIP number provided by Enflick

I too received the exact same email, just a few seconds after I wrote to them. Very glad I decided to check online before replying.

The number they texted me from to inquire about my posting is (646) 514-7267. They specifically mentioned that this was not their cell, which I thought was odd. The email they gave me was [email protected] so that appears to be an alternate email they're using.
