Same thing almost happened to me, same deal, same email.  Got the USPS money orders for $1200 more than the item I sold.  This time he used the name "Bratt Smith" out of TX.   I spoke to him on the phone @404.462.4202.  He had a strange foreign accent. Once I was on to the scam I called him back and left an innocent sounding voice mail that I could not get the funds to his buddy Freedle for a few days and could he call me back to be sure it was OK.   I never sent him the money, but now I have items clearing against the bogus deposit that will cost me bank fees.  The name on the FedEx envelope was Marti Merrick, also from TX.  The phone number on the envelope is a fax line, but it does appear she lives at the address shown on the FedEx.

I tried calling Smith again, but his voicemail box is full.  Most likely a throw-away phone anyway.  I have contacted the US Postal Inspector, no call back from them yet, FedEx, and my bank.  Now I have to deal with the bank on the fees and they are running a scam on the overdraft fees as well!  On top of all this I have been unemployed for quite some time and needed the money I was hoping to get for the piano I was selling.  Nothing but scumbags!

Got a scam message today also for a couch listing on Craigslist. Here's the details. I almost responded back with my address, but fortunately did not fall for it.

Sender: [email protected] identifies self as "Mr. Russell":

Important mainly because of the words in the message.

Hello,
I received your initial email stating that your Couch is still available for sale. I would like to know the lowest price you would go for it.

I would have been happy to travel down for the payment and pick-up myself, but I just relocated due to an urgent project. However, my daughter can easily send a Cashiers Check to you on my behalf and you will receive payment within 2 business days. She has also made arrangements with a truck driver who will come for the pick up of the Couch at your address or any public address of your choice. I'll appreciate it if you consider it sold to us via this means.

We will only come for pick up after you have received the Check and they have been duly processed at your Bank. I would like to know how your name should appear on the Check and what valid residential or office address should we mail it to. We are ready to make payment as soon as we get your mailing details. Thanks for selling it to us via this medium.

Mr Russel

He then accepted my offer of $45 and wrote back:

Hello, we are fine with the price of $45 and ready to make payment asap. Are you ok with the mode of payment, if yes then make available a valid address or office address where we can send the Certified cashiers check to. Like i said in my previous email, we will only come for the pick up after the funds have been duly processed at your bank. Thanks

Like I said, my wife encouraged me not to be so suspicious, but he wouldn't answer my question on when he would send a truck to pick it up, and didn't call me either when I told him to. Must be very very careful, this "Eddy" guy is bad news.....

I knew it was a scam from the first email but, I played along.  I deliberately [***] with him acting so stupid that I must have come off as mentally retarded. The final emails didn't even have the correct name anymore.  I am waiting to see what I receive today.

BTW, I sold the table he "inquired about", LOL!!

Ask THEM to send YOU money via Western Union.  Tell them you have no bank account and do not accept checks.  Watch the fun.
