Good to see people waking up to this scumbag. Why would any sane person offer several thousand more than the advertised price and be prepared to spend thousands to freight it from one end of the country to the other ???
He used the name Joseph Donx  (presumably meaning he's a donkey).
Luckily I didn't fall for it.

Had a similiar encoutner with the same email address and phone number. Google search led me to this posting. Posting from individual:Thanks for the response, i will send a certified draft from the company i work with and this is generally acceptable.It will cover the cost of my purchase has am completely satisfied  with it.I will need the details of whom & where to mail the payment1.Name to be on the check2.Home address3.Mobile phone numberPlease note United Parcel Service does not deliver to P.O Box.My mover will pick up right after the payment has been delivered.Kindly delete the posting has am committed to buying it.I recently move here on a job transfer and it's a great buy.Here is my relay # (705) 523-0844  am hearing  impaired and will receive your phone messages via email. My response:I am only willing to accept cash at time of pickup, there are alot of Craig'slist related scammers.

Just received the next email in this chain (see previous post) wording as follows......Realize that your money is in pending the said amount has also been debited from my PayPal account and the only way to get this transaction completed is to get the shipping fee paid while you email PayPal with the transfer details for the fund to hit your account with immediate effect and more so i do believe that they are doing this just to protect both the buyer and the seller from scam and i see no reason why you can't comply or abide by the new law or rule once there is a proof of payment and a confirmation from PayPal.This all i have to tell you, but you should know that it will cost me another charges to recall this money back into my PayPal account.Await swift mail.My reply was swift! ........I see that is interesting.  I am sorry you will incur charges to get the payment back from PayPal. But I no longer wish to proceed with this sale, since you last contacted me a local buyer has offered my 4,000 euros cash without any need to involve an agent or make payments for shipping.  I hope they do not charge you too much to get your money back.  If they do not charge you I hope the local law enforcement agencies do. Now stop SCAMMING you low life!

I just listed a wood chipper on craiglist and got this EXACT message! :Great. am glad to read from you ,... i am a marine engineer, i am at sea right now.I am buying this for my son as a surprise promise Gift so am willing to offer you the amount you required. I can only pay through PayPal at the moment as i don't have access to my bank account online(i don't have internet banking with it), but i have it attached to my PayPal account, and this is why i insisted on using PayPal to pay,all i will need is your PayPal email address to make the payments, and if you don't have a PayPal account yet, you can set one up at www.paypal.com  it cant take you less than 3mins to do that, i will be expecting your PayPal email so l can pay. I have a pick up agent that will come for the pick up after payments has been sorted.l will be waiting for your reply asap

This lowlife scammer Joe Pander oceanographer (joepander1 @ gmail.com ) assh0le sent me the same email for an advert that I posted on a local website. (S)He also added that (s)he is 95%deaf and can't talk on phone. It sounded fishy, I though I'd check him out, 1st hit on google. Glad I came acros this forum. Replied telling the scumbag to f* off.  I hope someone catches this ba$t @ rd.Thanks all, this is good stuff, spread the word and stop this scammer in his/her tracks.Will be posting this on as many forums as possible.
