Who called from 2014028020

This bogus fellow has approached our rental for Sept. 25 - 30th in NC too ! We have been getting several " unavailable" rings but we never answer these.

"Gary Dancer" he says is his name. Its a scam where he says his company is paying for everything, but accidentally overpaid the amount due for the rental...or included his transportation costs.... some excuse for you to send him the overpayment. DON'T DO IT! He'll send you what looks like an official cashier's check and your bank will take it and even tell you it has cleared his bank. But weeks later, after you've given him your real money, it'll get kicked back as fraudulent, and you're OUT your money.  Tell him to get lost.
He used this email address:
[email protected]
And they always ask you for the following information:

Name
Address
City
State
Zip Code.

Phone number to call you. Thanks

I will send you the tracking number when the payment will deliver. Note i will make the full payment to reserve the home and i will sign the contract if you will be sending it along, kindly send it through Microsoft word. Thanks again.

phone number on a certified check

SCAM- wants to rent long period.. will probably send bad check and ask you for the balance back.

Good day,
How are you doing ? I am sorry for the late in
responce, I had an accident with my hanckle, but
i am back right now, I have received a
confirmation that the check payment for the rent
has been issued in your name and mailed out to
your address, so keep an eye on it. There was a
mix up before the check was mailed out.The
accommodation fee and my travel expense was
included in the check that was sent to you.
I want you to deduct your cost price for the
accommodation and send the balance via western
union transfer to my travel agent to enable me
book for my flight down to your place. Anyway my
travel agent will contact you as the transaction
goes on.
Finally, let me know when you get the check, I
am very sorry for the inconveniences caused for
you sending the money down to the travel agent
.Do you know any western union outlet in your
area?
