Same thing--posted a bunk bed on Craig's List for $225. Was contacted by this guy and asked to remove posting and that he was putting a Cashiers Check for $25 extra in the mail to me that day. Asked me to remove the post (which I did not). Sold the bed the weekend before last to a normal person for my asking price and he came and took it. Yesterday I received a text from the scammer who said the movers were on the way. I had given him the corporate address of a friend who has a good rapport with the mailroom guy so would deliver anything that came with my name on it to him. So I finally told the scammer the bed was gone and to leave me alone. I also told him I'd given him an address that wasn't mine and so his "movers on the way" was no threat. Today, I was handed a cashiers check received by my friend at his office drawn on HeritageWest in the amount of $2,453 (remember the bed was listed for $225). The "Remitter" on the check is Charles Briggs. He is alive and well. The message is: Do NOT accept anything but cash for items you're selling on Craig's List.
Sent me a fake cashiers check drawn on US National Bank under Charles Biggs from an invalid address in Haittiesburg MS. I never deposited. Said he wanted to buy my van but sent more and wanted me to deposit and wire him money
Same story. I was sent Cashier check from Charles Biggs $1500 over the agreed price. Phone # 208-627-4156 is a text only #. Wescom Credit Union Pasadena, CA. Return address was Avedis Zildjian Company, Temple,TX. Sent Priority mail.
I want him prosecuted to prevent others from
Fraud.
