Same thing. Stella Anderson..consider it sold. Bank check would be sent,when cashed she'd pick up the item. Informed her/him that I do cash only and give my address only at the arranged pick up time . I added that i would hold the item if this arrangement was satisfactory. I then google her number and blocked it.
This number texted me regarding a C/L add. Wanted to send me a check and pick up my item later, after the check is cashed. The name that was used is Jessica Kinert and she said she was from Waco, Texas. Please read the posts under phone number 702-625-3115. Same person...same scenario. This is a scam! When I texted back saying that I read up on C/L scams and I would take "cash only" I got the reply "Go away"...hmmmm.
I got the same txt ref a table, gave her my address said shore mail me a check... other than no check will come or the check is bad, what else do I have to worry about?
That's what I thought at first. Then I read on C/L that banks will cash a fake check and then hold you responsible for it weeks later when the scam is dicovered. Not worth the risk for me.
you should worry about
1 identity theft
2 having your bank account wiped out
3 having credit cards obtained in your name
4 being listed in a crime ring
5 hot checks in your name
6 being responsible for thousands of dollars of merchandise
