Does anyone have information on this number? It sent me a copy of the title of a craigslist ad I posted, and nothing else. I think it's checking to see who responds so it can add you to a spam list. CallerID said Alvarado, Texas.
I got the same thing too for a Craigslist ad. It is without a doubt a scammer. They love these (682) phone numbers, which most likely, is a spoofed number.
I have had my ad on Craigslist for a month now and have five scammers who are sending their shippers to get my item lol.
btw, I reported each of them to the FBI on the IC3 form. One of them was particularly obnoxious, so that person was also reported to the FTC and the Texas State Attorney General.
Same here. Started as just a title from my ad, then wanted to send me a check "which will clear in a day or two... Wouldn't mind adding $50 if you retain (item) for me." Did a Google search on the number (682-628-4812) and multiple results came back saying it's a scam. Then they sent me a message saying they'd send me a check for the full amount and that I'm then to pay the people picking up the item out of my own pocket. That's the scam.
Same here,they asked for my address to send me a bank check and wait until the check clears and then they would send a runner. They used two of my different postings.
agreed to sell an item to the buyer for the cost plus a small additional amount for shipping. Received the check for $1100 more than the amount of the item. When I pressed for information, nothing back. Was drawn on the Marquis Bank in Coral Gables, FL and using the Moskovitz Family Trust as the writer. I called Marquis bank to confirm - seemed a bit shaky - if I was the Marquis Bank - I would want to get it clear that I wasn't a part of the scam - but they were hesitant to say anything specific. It made me think that the customer service guy at Marquis Bank might be a part of the scam!
