I responded to a Craigslist.org advertisement for a motorcycle. The poster was listed as " jspatitz@aol.com " Several days later I received an e-mail saying the bike was still for sale and give them a shout back. I sent the e-mail confirming my interest. The e-mailer (jspatitz@aol.com) claimed they were in the military and being sent back to iraq. MISTAKE I am a vet and military member and probed a little deeper.. this is what I found (http://www.google.com/webhp?complete=1&hl=en#q=jspatitz%40aol.com&hl=en&complete=1&filter=0&fp=7a1ddfff6faefc4c). Apparently JSPATITZ lives everywhere in the U.S.
I replied to the e-mailer that I was still interested, but that the e-mail they had sent answered none of my questions and if they were spamming and or phishing using the guise of a Vet. or military member, I would personally be happy to watch the world crumble on them.
In the first e-mail response to craigslist, i did something I never do.. I gave my phone number. About three minutes after I sent my cordial e-mail requesting info on the item or the end of the charade I received a phone call (with a males voice in the background) from (910) 338-0672, the duration of the call was 4 seconds.
If the Wilmington PD is interested in further information they can contact me directly as I am also a LEO, but in the D.C. area.
