"Hi Linda, Can you provide me with your physical address and your real name oh and your ssn that way I can give the cops your correct location so they can ship you to the near by jail, scammer!" That was my answer to this scammer
Just like the 2 before me on here I was contacted via text message by these idiots asking for my personal information in exchange for a cashier's check for an item I was selling on Craig's List. Something didn't seem right so I declined their "offer." Beware of these jokers. They have nothing better to do than to troll CL looking for people to scam. My suggestion to them: Get a f_cking JOB and earn a living like the rest of us. Creeps!
PS - Either they are way under educated or English is not their first language.
I just received a text message from this number. The sender asked whether I'm still in search of a job and claimed that they will pay me $550 a week to post ads on Craiglist. It's obviously a scam and I'm just waiting for them to ask for my personal info. Is there any way of reporting these people to the authorities?
I also was hit with this scam I got the check and the bank verified it a scam. I called secret services and the gentleman told me this scammed originated in Nigeria. Wth. Anyhow yes tried to find the ad so I could flag it on craigslist where I also got the ad. Really sucks. I thought I had a job, but I'm thankful I was lucky enough where money was not involved.
