Same scam as above. Craigslist. New phone number used in Jan 2017, is 213 822-3023. No name affiliated with phone number on search. Texter identifies self as Chris Murphy.
Same thing he tried to do to me but I called the title company to verify the check I told him that the check was fake and he was trying to scam me and I reported him to the FBI for internet fraud he told me he was reporting me to the FBI for stealing his money I laughed and told him go right ahead I'm sure they're waiting for his call. I must be a scam magnet this month because this is my second scam the first one was somebody trying to rent me a house that didn't belong to them both off Craigslist think I'm going to stay away from Craigslist for a while and just do local advertising when I have something to sell or when I'm looking for something
Any communication you receive by US mail which appears fraudulent should
be taken down to your local post office so the postal inspectors can take a
look at it. This could be mail fraud.
Same here got the check, this Chris Murphy has been really pushy, I checked internet and saw this blog, looks like a scam, so am taking check and envelope to the post office to give to postal inspectors. Also, sending a note back to Chris Murphy that I am on to him.
