Craigslist scammer on the road again

I am sorry that I incorrectly thought that the post I had linked to here was the scam. I was reacting to the visual and not reading the Craigslist that I found.

Based on a recommendation by one of us in this thread, I put search tempest near the top of my bookmarks list.
I must be doing something wrong as I get no results, even in other states. Like 8 or 10 other states.
I get a bunch of cities for each state, open them and don't see any results for the object I'm searching for.

From the emails I've received from some of the victims (yes, I get at least 1/week) in response to my Scam warning posts, he insists on payment via PayPal, friends and family, usually $225 +$65 for shipping. He stops responding after payment is received. Of course, nothing is shipped.

One of the PayPal IDs he uses is drcverona9901@gmail.com; He has two VOIP phone numbers in the DC area 202-627-0028 & 202-350-0254, both from internet phone providers difficult to get reverse look-up details.

Assuming he gets 1 victim per week in say, 5 different cities (conservative) that is $290 x 1 x 5 x 52 = ~$75K per year !!

He has been running this scam for the past 2-3 years at least.

I tried to use the Tempest site to do multiple searches a day or so ago. It worked for me but I found it frustrating. First off, I was not wild about clicking through all the areas that come up when a search is done. The issue is that you must click on all the areas. Many of these are empty in that they have no results for a search. I count 27 areas in my search when trying to search the whole country. Checking all of these for all of the models that Dave scams is too much for me. I am putting my search URL here so that if I am doing something wrong it might be explained to me.

https://www.searchtempest.com/searc...60515&maxDist=50000&Region=combined#gsc.tab=0

What I am going to try to use instead is an Android app called Checker for Craigslist by Delved Apps. I use my tablet to search for Dave's scummy scams and use the same app on my phone to do searches for my personal buying. I don't think that it is of value for us to do too much conversation online here as it might help that a$$ to tweak his scam.

Thank you to all who have worked to try to lessen his larceny.
