Contacted me about purchasing items from Craigslist. Claims to be Anthony Santiago.
Text message: "I am ready to make instant purchase. My mode of payment would be in form of CERTIFIED CHECK and I will arrange for local pickup as soon as you get the check, because that is the only inconvenient (sic) means for me and due to my work frame i can not be able to get there and i promise everything will go smoothly. I will give you extra $50 to hold it for me till my payment"
California number, and I am in Tennessee.
Do not accept certified checks for purchases; they are ridiculously easy to forge.
Just got a text from this number wanting to purchase a painting. I told them only if they are local and can meet in secure place. I'm sick of all these scammers!
