Who called from 2053514708

got the same message, I an in buffalo,ny. what a joke

I got the same one too for a refrigerator I had for sale of a fridge. I told him to tellhis driver to bring the cash.

got the same email on craigs list posting in ithaca, new york. thought it sounded to good to be true. thanks for the heads up.

I also got the exact same message.  The scam is apparently this:  If you respond he/she will send you a 'certified check' for much more than the amount of the item.  He will then ask you to return the excess, less some amount for your trouble.  The problem is this and note well - You can deposit the check in your bank account, and being 'certified', they will immediately credit your account.  However, this does NOT mean the funds are actually available.  It can take up to two weeks for the check to actually be honored by the issuing bank.  If it turns out to be a fraud (and it will), the bank comes back and DEDUCTS the amount from your account.  More than a few bank tellers don't understand this and will tell you that everything is OK after 24 hours.  This is NOT true.  Bank of America has told people caught in this fraud that it is up to them to check the validity of the account and the availability of funds from the bank where the certified check was issued, EVEN if it is another BofA bank.   There are some pretty sad stories out there as a result of this scam

Wow I am glad I searched this name. I was just about to believe this offer. Thank god for the internet and postings like this!
