Title: The Ultimate CL Moron~BEWARE
Post by: GrizzlysDad on April 13, 2015, 04:09:54 PM
Okay, so last week I decided to post an ad on craigslist for the Neptune Aquatics foods that I sell here locally for my friend John in Cleveland.
So one of the responses I get was from a guy in South Lyon. I kinda recognize the email address but more on that in a minute.
He goes on to request pictures of the pellet foods. Okay, I do that and text them to him. He finally decides what he wants and then expects me to deliver it to South Lyon!!
After I tell him no, I don't deliver he mentions that I indicated that I could ship the foods.
I go on to tell him in texts that I need his full address to give him a shipping quote the next day when the Post Office opens.
Next day, no reply so I email him requesting his address and to inform him I only accept cash and U.S.POST OFFICE money orders (I was not giving him my PayPal info due to a bad feeling I was getting from him).
He sends me a reply, still with no address, that he will send me the money for the foods after he receives the foods  :o
So he not only expects to get the food before paying for it, he also expects me to pay for the shipping costs.
I just replied that it was not how things work and I'd pass, he can just move on.
Then comes the profanity, etc from him.

Now, getting back to recognizing his email address. Last winter I posted something for free on craigslist for easy porch pick up.
This same yahoo contacted me back then and was upset that I wouldn't deliver it to South Lyon for him.

Anyhow, I recommend that you watch out for anyone contacting you from an email address of bigjake93 austin....
