I can't believe this guy....
I called him up just to see what he is up to, but he won't talk too much, all he says is: "... just go to ebay.com, log in, click on sell, then..." bla bla... I asked him, are these computers hot? stolen, not working? are they even real? and he replies: "did you log in yet?" AAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I dont have the time or means to pursue this but I am hoping someone here will get it together and pummel this guy....
His area code belongs to Spring Hill Florida.

I would really appreciate anyone with the means to track this number and get me an address... I am going to Florida next week, I am staying near Spring Hill, about 10 miles where this area code is from, and I would like nothing more than to show up at his door step looking for Dr Hopkins. If possible, I would even involve baynews9, they would jump at a chance like this of a "Local" scammer...

Ebay sales job

Hello. I've got computers that you can begin selling on Ebay. The instructions are given on my website: www.geocities.com/paypaldanielhopkins. All you have to do is create an Ebay listing. My telephone number is: (352) 870-3130. You can call me anytime. When the item on my website becomes sold, you can tell me where to ship the item to your customer. Or, I can ship it to you. Thank you. You will then send me the money via paypal.

- Dr Hopkins

Looks REALLY fishy, like he was booted from Ebay and needs other people to "sell" his stuff...

Look at him posting all over the place for the same thing. And the phone number turns up lots of interesting stuff, too.

This looks like a pre-paid cell. It's from a company out of Gainesville, FL. but that's all I could find for free.

There is nothing wrong with the job ad.

I did a trace, and the job looks perfectly normal.

You have too much time on your hands, using Google and such.

And thank you for that reassurance lookinggood123.

It may also be appropriate to let everyone know that our new member, lookinggood123 , is also the subject of this thread.
i.e. he is "Daniel Hopkins, Ph.D" <[email protected]>

Maybe there's a few more bits of information you'd like to share Daniel.
How about your similar adverts on Craigslist for a start?

Lookinggood123 aka Dr Hopkins aka Daniel Hopkins is a serial spammer and scammer, just for reference in case anyone does a search on him, Googling his phone number tells you all you need to know:

Google Results For: 352-870-3130

Another email address he has used in conjunction with that phone number:

Is that like saying, "Yeah, I only borrowed your car. I meant to return it. You have too much time on your hands, reporting it stolen to the police and whatnot."

He was selling a laptop. It got sold. Someone had already paid him with cash - it was a neighbor. Thanks for the thread everyone.

Remove this thread, or I report you to the FBI.

I will have this website taken down - you will be put in JAIL.

I want you to CEASE and DESIST. Immediately.

Looks like old Daniel went underground. I'm not having any luck finding where and what he's been up to since his participation in this thread and his childish FBI threats. He has at least one website still running:

Hello.

I have actually called that number and it is just an old lady who picked up.

She has been raped and abused many times. Now she is getting our strange phone calls.

We have to stop posting random crap, NOW. Moderator, please remove this thread.

Phone 352 870 3130 is just an old lady's phone number. Maybe someone else is the owner now.

Strange world we live in.

I got an answering service when I called that number.

The phone number is included in the scam mail, and is therefore all over the internet, not just here.

So, she just told some random stranger who called her, after all of the other "strange" phone calls?

edit: removed my comment.

Glad to see this thread is making "Daniel" so nervous. It would be nicer to see him get a real damned job, but this places a close second on my expectations Very Happy

The link provided to the Harvard profile is not the scammer.

He has this disclaimer at the very top of his page:

Hello all.......
I was surprised this thread got this far, I've been out of town for a while so I never really checked for replies...

I guess this scumbag knows how to google cause he found this thread.

I just called this guy from my scambaiting phone number, and he still has the same phone number...
He picked up and told me to go to his website, http://manylaptops.com/
and follow the directions. He told me that "It's so easy, a 15 year old can do it"... Well, I know of 15 year olds that can tap into NASA's main database, let alone place an ad on EBay Shocked

.... He sure does sound like a 15 year old though.... ON XANAX!!!

So how do we go forward with this? He says I can paypal him money from an ebay sale.... He claims his he uses his email address as his paypal account. Anything we can do with that???
I forwarded this website to EBay already, but who knows what they'll do, or when.

Suggestions??

The best thing to do is to contact the host, and in this case, you are in luck.

It is hosted on Yahoo, who are very good about shutting scam sites down. Actually, they usually will shut down fraud sites within a day or two of receiving an abuse report on it.

I only took a cursory glance at the website so I am not sure if it is anything aa419.org would put into their database--it looks like it could fall under job scam, though, which are entered into the database. Maybe someone from there can weigh in on that.
