I got the same thing, 50 for the favor of holding it, I just text his and said the cops are looking into this and he just droped off. We need laws for this ar maybe a gun.
This person got my info from craigslist, wanting to buy something. Could not meet me but would send someone to pick it up. Did not give me a name when I asked, but wanted my information.
If they mention a "shipper" you never heard of - it's a scam.
If they want to send a check - it's a scam.
If they mention Western Union, Moneygram, or Green Dot - it's a scam.
If they can't meet you in person - well, you know the rest.
SCAM SCAM SCAM beware of this number it was an attempted SCAM!
Want's you to send your full name and address to send a check with an extra $50 to "hold in his favor" and requests you to remove item from posting to look authentic.
If you are this criminal reading about your self right now, GET A JOB! It's far more rewarding!!!!!
Within 2 hours of posting an item for sale with a phone number to contact me, I received a text from this number that stated only the title of my posting. Since I didn't recognize the area code 469 as local, I googled and found complaints about scams related to it.
