Richard Ben Goke Thomas Stolen Seiko Watch From Poverty Stricken Single Mother of 3! Scam through Craigslist and Paypal!!! Romulus Michigan

I posted an ad on Craigslist. I was selling a gold Seiko, 20 year anniversary watch, with a black face and genuine diamond. Worth $450, selling for $200.

Within 18 hours I recieved a text asking if the item was still available. When I said it was, the person requested that I set up an account with Paypal, for both of our protection. So I did.

I recieved several authentic looking emails. One stating that I had recieved funds and needed to ship the item and respond with the tracking number. Which I did.

I never recieved payment, and Paypal claims it never existed. Paypal said "thanks for telling us, but screw you, we can't help". 

I am a single mother of 3 pre teen daughters, and we live far below the poverty level. I make $5 an hour as a carhop and, like many mothers, cant get child support paid from the father.

This evil person stole the only way I had to purchase school supplies for my children! Never mind not being able to put food on the table! 

I can't get help from anywhere in this matter. Stay away from this person, I dont want him to do this to anybody else! 

Because of this scam there are a mother and 3 innocent children homeless and without food, not to mention the things they need to attend school.
