Who called from 5702341135

Same thing here - the guy wanted to buy my couch without seeing it. I also gave him my address and I just received a check in a different amount (much more than I wanted). He uses so many different names:
Bruce Wilson, Christopher Maurer (who sent the Fedex), Wesley Britingham (that's where I should ship the couch- to Pensacola), and a woman actually signed the check.

he never called me but he tried to offer me a cert. check for a speaker i was selling on craigs list... when he asked for my name number address i gave him the police dept number, the sherriffs name,and the police dept address.  and now i called the police dept and let them know they might get a letter with a check adressed to sherrif joe arpaio!  
here is the name and address he gave me
NAME:  WESLEY BRITTINGHAM
CITY   PENSACOLA
STATE: FL
ZIP :  32507

this guy is most likely one of many people sitting in a cyber bar in india or another country, and more than likely the people you send the money to after you cash the check are being scammed too! they get told to open a p.o. box and forward money for a peice of the income. they think its legit, just like we think its legit when we cash a bogus check and the bank clears it but doesnt tell its bogus till they find out about a month later, and by then you end up paying the bank back, because they cant prove your "shipper" actually exists, and they know that you took the money out , so its easy for them to figure out who owes them.

anyways, dont cash checks from anyone... paypal or cash in hand at a bank so a teller can verify its legit or not!

I didn't get a call but he did the same exact thing to me.  He sent a check for $3000 when the agreed amount was only $700.  When he told me to send $2300 back to him I realized something was up.  My dad noticed the routing number on the "bank certified check" was overseas so right away we knew it was a scam. Not to mention his email address doesn't match the name he gave me at all.

I got this note from him today: for my truck over $15000 ya right what a waste of skin.
