Just too many red flags, for sure this guy is not for real.
On another note, for people who are a little weary of meeting people on Craigslist... If you don't meet them at their home, ask them to meet you at a bank. Cameras everywhere! Or the police department. We buy a lot of furniture on CL. You usually have to go to their house. You can't just meet up somewhere. If someone is coming to your house, give them directions, but don't give your address. That way they physically have to come down there. Instead of giving your address to a stranger and have them not show up (or never intended to) and come break into your house and steal whatever you were trying to sell. |
I learned this real quick when I first started selling puppies....some crazy man came to my home and I had to call the police to get him out! Then I worried about this maniac coming back and breaking in when I was not there....lordy, you have to be sooooo careful and trust NO ONE! Now, I always have Mr.Smith and Wesson or Mr.Barretta within reach, in every room of my home.....and Lady Colt in my purse.
