Who called from 3862566867

this guy reached out to me in response I had for a couch listing on Craigslist. I had a gut feeling this was a scam - and not only did I get an email from him- but another scammer for the same sofa!!!

correspondance from both below:

SUBJECT: \\\\\Ready to pay for your Couch/////

Hello,
I sent this email before but since i didnt hear from you, i suppose you didnt get it. I got your initial email stating that your Couch is still available for sale. I would like to know the lowest price you would go for the Couch.

I would have been happy to travel down for the pickup and payment of the Couch myself, but I just relocated due to an urgent project. However, my daughter works with United State Postal Services (USPS) and we will be glad to pay with a USPS Money Order. She has also arranged with a Mover/Driver who will come for the pickup of the Couch at your address or any public place 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 Money Orders and they have been duly processed at your Bank, only there and then will we arrange for the pick up of the Couch. I would like to know how your name should appear on the USPS Money Order and what valid residential/office address or public place should we mail it to via UPS courier service. We are ready to make payment as soon as we get your mailing details. Pls signify clearly if the Couch is no more available so we don't waste time with endless discussions. Thanks for selling it to us via this medium.

Mr Eddy

I looked on Craiglist and noticed that this is a commonly used scam- where they "overpay you" and then you have to wire the overpayment, leaving you with a fradulent check, and out of whatever you're selling, and legally responsible for this transaction. Report this person!!!!

HERE'S THE SECOND SCAMMER- NOT SURE IF ITS THE SAME PERSON?

Hello,

I hope you are fine and alright. I have been busy myself but doing great. There is something i think i must bring to your notice.

After a reconciliation of my account , i discovered that somehow my assistant must have over paid you. The payment that was meant for another transaction was sent to you and the one meant for you was sent to another, however i want to believe i wont have a problem with you.


Please once you receive your payment, i will like you to deduct your money and send the remaining via western union to the shipping company that will help me with the pick-up. I will ask them to contact you as soon as possible .Let me know
as soon as you get your payment.
Warm regards.

William Steeve.

Same Couch scam as he has done for months.

Think any Government agency would do anything or is the cutbacks that bad they don't care if he does this. He should be in Jail, OH YEAH FREE Rent and Food there!

This guy message me also send the email many times that he sent the money order bed cost $40 and he will hire a mover? what a crap...he said he sent me $950 money order and send the balance to the driver

I gave him the FBI address hope they will open it and check the money order is a fake and investigate..

The e-mail I got was from Mr. Edward Porter not Mr. Green but the body of the message was verbatim.  I hope everyone filed a complaint with the USPS. He shipped the fake postal money order to me via USPS express mail return address James Sorenson 2342 Brentwood Rd NW Canton OH 44708.  It seems the real trick it to catch the inbound shipment of fake money orders!

I got an email to send Jerry Freedle 1500.00 for a 300.00 item i was selling on Craigs list. I got 2 cashiers checks in the mail i took them to be verified and they were fake. What a bunch of morons.
