Who called from 2066663053

I received an email via yahoo mail from "Steven Thomas" about buying a car from me. They said the check for the vehicle would be in my mailbox Friday, September 7. I hadn't received payment so therefore I googled the name, address, etc. and found that apparently this person is a big fraud.

Received this email from posers stating they were interested in my vacation rental.  ran a check, got a lot of info about this number.  This phone number is associated with NUMEROUS scams and they got my vacation rental info from Craigslist.com....


Hi,Thanks for your urgent response to my inquiry.I would like to rent the place for my honeymoon friends.The prefered dates are 17- 30 May .All the same, I will not fail to tell you that i am currently in the Gulf where I am on active duty on a U.S Aircraft carrier as a Doctor.
We have limited use of telephones for now because of the disruptions it causes on the communications radar on the ship so i get an opportunity to use the phone once in 3 or 4 days.Hence,my home # 206-666-3053 is directed to answering machine in the US there as iam here.
We even take turns using the computers here on board. I would have been able to conclude arrangements for their travel to a honeymoon destination myself while back home but could not because I was recalled to active duty albeit in a hurry, so could not conclude these arrangements.
I will have to depend on you to make the reservation and their stay possible.
I will like you to give me a comprehensive bill covering these number of days that my people will be staying in your accomodation, that way, we will know how best to approach the matter and get this all settled in good time. So i think the internet is the best way to communicate with me.
Please assist in making the booking and their stay possible. I have a cashiers check made out for this purpose I hope this will be okay to pay with? Its a suprise for them.
So please, send me  a comprehensive bill covering this number of days,  name and address with which to send the check and your phone number so that you can  be reached  should there be the need for that any time. Once again, send me the Total bill covering this numer of days and the Name and Address for mailing the Check Payment.
I await your reply ASAP.

The next email clarified the terms of the scam:

"Hello Robert,
Thanks for the reply.This is actually  to let you
know that the  Check will get to you in less than 8
working days through the name and address you have
sent to me.
All the same, the check contains amount more
than your bill as it has already been made to cover
all expenses that might be incured in this trip.
Hence-on receipt of the check ,kindly deduct
your bill and send the remaining money  to my
contracted agent to enable him take care of other
travelling arrangements like car hire, air tickets
and all that for their arrival.

Please i have to depend on you to make this dream
come through,so pls assist in any way you can to
make this their trip a memorable one.Thanks for your
co-operation.Pls, get back to me on receipt of this
mail.
My Regards."

I am expecting that Dr. Levin Gordon will send a bogus "cashier's check" ($5000 or more) and expect me to send real money to their agent without waiting for their "check" to clear.
DO NOT BE FOOLED INTO SENDING THEM YOUR MONEY IN RETURN FOR A FAKE CASHIER'S CHECK!!!!
