Also contacted. First message after confirmation that my item was still for sale was "Are you dependable and hard working?". Just wanted to see if anyone had actually dealt with him/her/it. Not sure if this is a scam artist or not.
I agreed to sell the person an item I had on CL. He sent a check for much more than I asked for, asking me to give the difference to the person who would pick up the item. I am sending the check back. It is clearly an operation that is not on the up and up.
I not only got one but he sent me a check. I called the bank the account was closed, and then called the company who told me they closed the account due to fraud. The check was drawn off of Claude's Sauces Inc. in El Paso Texas off of Firstlight Federal Credit Union. The return address on the Priority 2 Day Mail was for a law school in California, and the phone number comes back to a Dallas Address. He wanted me to cash the check for his rent and deposit then send the extra money to a moving company.
