Craigslist scammer looking to send fake certified check for your item. Before it bounces in a couple weeks, they will pressure you to send them your own money for the amount their check will be over the actual price of the item you listed. Scammer who needs to be ignored.
Same! The person texted me wanting to buy my snowboard. The area code wasnt local so i got suspicious and typed it in the reverse phone number lookup and sure enough i find this and find out the guy is a telemarketer. What a scam. Shady people these days..

I had replied to add on Craig list for a position and got an email response from a Larry Cole the only difference is he sent me a check and wants me to deposit it and once it clears he wants me to send the money CASH as he stated to an ORPHANAGE..lol oh yea and keep $500.
Same crap as above, but gave him address of vacant lot and fedex delivered an overnite package with bogus check (company address on check doesn't match perfectly to company's address). Bank is in WI, return address is S. Portland, ME, and fedex says package originated in Addison, TX. How dumb does this person think we are?
