I posted a camera on craigslist to fundraise for a breast cancer research marathon I would be participating in a few days. The following morning I received an e-mail from a so called Tim Howard stating that he was interested in the camera.

I replied immediately stating that the camera was still available and asked for his location. Mr. Howard claimed to live in Utah but would be leaving to London in 4 days and that he was purchasing this camera for his son who was in Africa researching an oil company. I immediatley became suspicious because I'm in California. Why would anyone want to purchase something off of craigslist that is not local???

Anyhow, I continued to correspond with him until we agreed that he would donate $250 to my fundraising page after I shipped the cammera and provided a tracking number.

I didn't feel comfortable with that and insisted on him donating the money first. So then I "agreed" and asked for his son's name and mailing address so that I could figure out how much shipping would cost me.

He replied with the info and I immediatley googled him and found him on this site!!! I sent him an email with the link of the report I found and asked that if the article was not true and he was still interested to please donate the money immediatley so that I may send him his camera.

He never replied!!!!! So now I am certain that it was scam!!

I also found the following article on this guy with a similar story to mine. The only difference with the other story is that he claimed that his son was in Africa "visiting his mom" instead of "researching oil"...Note that on all three incidents reported this guy has used a different name and e-mail address.
