Unique item for sale on Craigslist . . . Scammer takes the bait

Not my first Scambait, but one of the funniest. And relatively short. I can't believe what these people will say.

Oh yeah -- ONLY STUPIDHEAD SCAMMERS would send TOO MUCH MONEY and ask for it BACK. I hope you DIE in DARK HOLE with JIGGLUM up your FIGGLUM.

i love love jigglum and will put jigglum in your figglum. figglum is VERY READY for the jigglum.

We will mail Out Certified Cashier Check payment already yesterday . Sorry and we hope that you will take item down off Craigslist. Payment will clear quickly and I will make arrangements for pickup right away.

I have a favour to ask. The check we wrote was for US$850. When you receive the check payment and deposit can you send Western Union the difference of $300? The extra money is for your inconvenience.

Ooooh Clifford. U proposing to me? I WANT u to put jigglum in my figglum!!! But we should be careful talking about this on Craigslist. Figglum and jigglum is SO personal. My figglum is so ready and squishy for u. will be more ready and squish for u if you actually send check by email like I keep asking u you stupid fongishup. WHY U SO STUPID AND NOT FOLLOWING MY INSTRUCTION? DO U NOT WANT ITEM? If u want item WHICH I AM HOLDING FOR U stupid please SEND ME CHECK BY EMAIL. I WANT PHOTO otherwise I can’t deposit.

Cliffy poo – are u dumb? Did u not read my email? I need copy of cheque so I can deposit! Please send front and back so I can do mobile deposit ASAP. Cannot withdraw item until u send check. Also u worry me. Are u sure u aren’t one of those scammers? U sound like u cut and pasted from you last email. If u aren’t a scammer, u tell me how much u love jigglum and promise u will put jigglum in your figglum. Do u know what a figglum is? Is your figglum READY for the jigglum?

Cliff - i am going to sell item to this next buyer if i don't hear back in 10 minutes. they only want to pay $220 and will pay cash $$$$ but without promise from u I want to just sell. I'd prefer to sell to u for $280 and also becasue you appreciate the jigglum. Your choice. You know how this craigslist thing works.

Cliffy,

They are coming in 5 minutes but u were first so want to sell to u. Can u at least promise that you can send photo of check (front and back) soon so I can deposit? Then I can put aside mega brator and u can even pick up tomorrow! Just have to disinfect the jigglum.

Thanks, Larry

OK! Jigglum is yours 😉😉😉

Can you send me check pic so I can deposit via mobile banking? Faster than waiting for mail and less expensive too. I have people coming now in 15 minutes so need to know IMMEDIATELY.

Clifford - do u want the jigglum attachment? I need to know right away. It's a special kind of feeling. Because the price is 280 and the other parties want the special feel of the jigglum.

Once you confirm i will withdraw the item (and u can enjoy withdrawing the jigglum!) hey congrats on getting married! .

actually i use mobile banking -- so if you send me a pic of the check (front and back) I can probably deposit it more quickly and send you the item faster.

Again, please respond immediately. I have two more people coming over tongiht to look at the item. i need a response with the check in 30 minutes. The others want to pay cash

Please confirm and I can hold for u

Dear Clifford


I think you and your partner will love the mega-brator! It has 16 speeds and has brought my own partner much enjoyment. We're only parting with it because we've recently invested in the supradong which we like better. You should really check out the Folsom street fair the next time you are in town. It's especially great if you want to be "large," if you get what I mean. 😉 And great if u are in the mood for a gerbil! Full disclosure, there was a small issue with crabs but we weren't using the brator at the time. The price of the item is $265, but if you want the jigglum attachment, I can add that in for an extra $15, so a total of $280.


A cashier's cheque would be great. Please send to my PO Box tho because my mail gets stolen.


Here's the deets:

Please let me know if you want the jigglum.

I read from the last note to the top (took me a bit to realize it was posted in reverse) and while the bait was very funny, please tell me you didn't "burn" the lad by letting them know you knew it was a scammer? We definitely don't want to educate them, or make them more aware of "jokers" who waste their time, right?

Is this a fake craiglist ad to start with? I'm a bit confused as to how the lad found you?
