Who called from 2102098524

i received a check today from larry moore via UPS. for a peavey synthesizer that i am selling for $150. the check is for $2000. its from heritage bank of central illinois. the signature is stamped on the check and with a magnifying glass you can barely make out the name Edward something. there was no address to send the overpayment to. what is this [***] game? what is it exactly that he's doing? and why wouldnt the cops be interested in this? if he is having fraudulent checks cashed at our financial institutions, then he is screwing our banks up. isnt that a federal crime? i cant believe that the cops would turn a deaf ear to this. it seems like he would be so easy to catch if one had the resources to do so. just be at the money gram destination for the pickup, right? does anybody know anything else about this loser? i would personally love to see him get caught.

I replied "cash only" and let me know when you want your movers to pick it up.

I got the same e-mail! from Larry Moore <[email protected]> but when i hit reply, the return address changed to: [email protected], so i was skeptical. I shouldn't have hit send but anyhow...i googled it afterwards and found this page. This person is obviously a scammer.

I am always skeptical when they say this "item" still available? Instead of the specific name/type of the item.

I've gotten the same email as the rest of you from a James Porter "[email protected]" I knew it was a scam from the mention of a "$2000" check" on a $200 car. I'm not stupid. I hope someone gets these guys. They make it harder to do business legitimately.

There was a slight delay from the UPS but the payment will be delivered before noon today.Here is the tracking #  1Z83V5060190414546 ...should there be any delay and its not delivered by noon, be sure to call UPS at 800 (742-5877)** . to  find out if there is a delivery delay due to incorrect address.You might need to give directions.Once it as  as been delivered please do have it cashed at your Bank and deduct the cost of the purchase.The rest of the fund should be set to my mover today as well so that she can make the trip over for the pick up later today.
