Beware of Kristyna Chvatalova. I have reported him/her. She (he?) is trying to pull a paypal scam on Kijiji users.
The email comes in from either kristyna.chvatalov@gmail.com or kristynachvatalov-303@yahoo.ca

send me the address to send it to, which is the email address you use
for it or you can send me a paypal money request, so once i receive
the details i will go ahead with the payment through PayPal and then i
will contact my shipping company after you get the payment. I will
need your home address for the merchandise to be Picked Up by the
Shipping Company.." |

Fully concur with previous warning posted.
Did receive the exact same mail yesterday Nov. 1 2012.
BEWARE of this supposedly interested buyer. |

The wording of the response is the red flag.
The name and email may change but all else is the same.
Very common scam and it is all over the internet not
just on Kijiji. |

I understand that it is all over the internet. I only posted here because I know that the addys will come up in a google search and so, some people may avoid being scammed.
Having been a moderator on several boards, I know that it is possible to block known spam/scam ISPs. What is kijiji doing to combat these people? |

| Perhaps you know also that the scammers have a new IP less than 10 minutes after we block them. |

I do know that. I also know that there are anti spam programs/softwares available. I am honestly not trying to be confrontational. I would simply like to know (if someone knows), what kijiji is doing about scammers/spammers on the site. |

Forum moderators have very little knowledge of the inner workings of Kijiji.
I'll give you a hint though;
- This forum software is 7 years old.
- Kijiji does not validate email addresses on ad replies.
- I have no idea who the forum Admin. is. |

I got the same email from this user. Scammer Beware!!!
If someone wants to buy something without actually see the product, than more than likely its a "scam".
