i actually almost fell for this crap. this person even sent me a check via fedex and i was asking for 150 dollars for my craigslist item and the check was for 2000. they said to cash it and then send the remaining balance via western union to the mover. his name is
reynaldo ramirez
283 east street
fontana ca 92335
so if anyone is in that area turn him into the cops. the check he sends is from citibank claiming to be written from Toastmasters incorporated and i called citibank and they verified the account number and name and address of toastmasters international. so this person did there homework.
If you sell anything on craigslist, always insist on "Cash only, local only." If you cannot meet the buyer face to face, or if they talk about Western Union or Paypal, it is definitely a scam!
