Same senario here, response to a Craig's list ad... Asked if a check would be okay and as soon as it clears they would send a mover to pick up the item ( a compound bow)...I thought that was odd, looked at the number and realized it was two states away ( I'm in WA, it's a CA number) did a search and found the number here...thankfully I won't be getting scammed!!
got this check for 1,000 dollars more than what I had asked . I posted an add on craigslist of an item I was selling he said he was from AUBURN WA. i am from Yakima county. So, I called the bank from were the check was from (The State Bank of Texas) and they told me it was counterfeit .his fake name was "Dave Adams " from auburn wa .he's a thief and hopefully he gets caught by police. i searched his phone number and led me here ,I guess it's the same [***] screwing people over .
"the bank teller suggest to take the check to the police.............................
