He said he was from PA, contacted me on a different line from FL, and has a return address from GA, and the envelope was sent from North Texas. Contacted the bank that was from IL to let them know.
i had an item for sale on Craigslist and was contacted by "Richard" from the same number. Received a check in the mail. It all seemed suspicious so I Googled what info I had and found this site. He's a scam!!!
what did you do? I just received the same thing. I was advertising a product on Craigslist and he texted from a CA area code, and just texted me from this number, so I decided to search the number. Please let me know how you handled it.
