Scammer used this phone number to text the victim and scammed her out of $1,920. Remember if they ask you for money back IT IS A SCAM, and we, your local law enforcement cannot help if you send the money.
I was selling an item on CL. I first got an email wanting the item, I had more than one. so I replied as to how many, They replied with a request of an address to pick up the item. I replied with the address and again a request as to how many. I then got a reply with instructions to deposit a check that was being mailed to me. I was then to ship the item to an undisclosed address and send the balance of the money to a third party after I took my fees out. The Item I was selling was only $50. The check I received was for $1300. Then today I got a call wanting to know if I got the check? If it sounds to good to be true, well you get the idea. Don't fall for these scams. I didn't and the US Postal Inspector and the Internet fraud control division are investigating,
yep a scammer for sure - I posted on CL and he said he would send me a check and arrange for pickup. I'm in Texas this is a CA number - so please :)!!!! I said come and see the chairs and bring cash. Did not hear back.
Scammer. I posted furniture for sale on CL and subsequently received an email purported to be from a "Michael L Grushkowsky" and his fishy smelling message said "Do you still have the furniture? Please text only (213) 375-8286 I rarely check email." The furniture is heavy (local pickup only) and this area code is nowhere near me. After I sent the message to my spam folder, I checked here to find other people's experience (and report my own).
Wow what you can learn about googling your name. I do live in Texas but have never owned that phone number or ever tried to scam anyone. Sorry to hear that my name for some reason is responcible for annoying some of you but I assure you its not me.
