Same as the rest...I received the same text message. He said his name was "Moses Oladele". Wanted to send me a money order for an amp I'm selling. Sorry for the delay, will add $20.
Text Messages between me (the seller on Craigslist) and "Mark" (the pretend buyer) <+1 315-760-5308>:
Mark: Steel Hose Reel Cart- $100 Still up for sale?
Me: Yes it is
Mark:Will send a money order and add $20 for delay, if you agree. send full name and address, awaiting info, Mark
*** This scam has many of the common signs of a Craigslist Scam:
- Non-Local Number
- Wanting to pay with a cashiers check and to pay over the amount of list price (and pay through mail)
- Not wanting to meet in person
- Mentions nothing about wanting to pick up the item they are supposedly wanting to purchase from you
A good tip I found online to help combat these particular scammers is to have them send the check to your local FBI agency.
