Same scenario as everyone else, although he has been contacting me through two different numbers. the 646 numbers and a 707 number. I caught on right away as I was curious why someone would send me money so that I could pay for the moving service. I played with him for a few days and then once I received the check, I wrote on the check "you've been scammed" and texted it back to him. Haven't heard from him since.
Gezus! I just got same thing thinking CL was a way too go and I actually had a piano for sell...boy o boy so glad I checked these sites....OMG! Tried to get me to send a "MoneyGram" to someone named Antino Oliveira, in Coleman FL 33521. Thanks for Posting reveiws....whew.
I placed an ad on Craigslist about the sale of a piano and received a text from this number that Dave would like to purchase the piano and would be sending his delivery person over to pick it up. He stated that he hoped he could" trust me" so that he would be sending me additional funds so that when the delivery person arrived that I would need to pay him the overage for the delivery. I received a cashiers check by way of the next day postal service with the cashiers check inside. I took his cashiers check directly to CHASE bank which immediately identified it as a FRAUDULENT CASHIERS CHECK. I gave them everything I had on this DAVE person in hopes he would get caught. Of course he was hoping that I would deposited this into my account and give him the refund. EVERYONE NEEDS TO KNOW it takes 10 BUSINESS DAYS TO CLEAR A CASHIERS CHECK NEVER USE YOUR OWN FUNDS AS COLLATERAL. He has an associate and he texted me from 224-585-9813 this was the person that was to make the pick up.
This guy is texting me right now about a piano I have for sale on CL. Figures.... Luckily I have not completed any business with him. Glad I ran his number through Google! Thanks everyone
This man is claiming to buy things on Craigslist.. He sends you checks over the asking price and you are to cash the check and send a money gram to his movers. It is FAKE FAKE FAKE,.. Do not do this.. Contact your local police department. He operates out of NY, SC, TX, TN, NE the checks are written on Ameritrade Clearing..
