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.

Same here...got a text from someone who didn't state their name. Said they would send me a check for $200 for the couch I was selling, plus $10 to hold it. They said they worked at "the sea" and once the check was cashed, they would send someone to pick up the couch. A few days later I got a check for $1932. from Wescom Credit Union in Pasadena, CA RE: Biggs Charles. Thanks to everyone for contributing to this website so I could figure out that I was being scammed. I won't be depositing this check!
