Type of a scam Credit Cards
I responded to an ad on craigslist to purchase a Lowe Fishing Boat for $3000. The only way to contact the seller was through craigslist email because the phone number provided didn’t work. I was told by email that the seller wanted to complete the transaction through amazon pay. I received an email from amazon pay and accepted the offer. I was then instructed to go to any store and purchase $3000 worth of amazon gift cards and then provide the serial numbers to them. I then looked in surrounding areas and found the same boat on craigslist in at least four different states. Slightly different descriptions but same photos. States include Idaho, Montana, Washington and Oregon. This was a totally bogus Amazon Pay web site that appeared authentic until I read the fine print and noticed grammatical errors. There is much advice both on craigslist and on Amazon.com on how to avoid scams. Read and take heed.

the listed phone number (513-449-6029) called my phone and said I will receive a $100.00 gift card if I give them a credit card number to pay a $1.95 fee. I spoke to a representative and asked to be placed on a "no call" list and they said they could not do that.
