This person has contacted me and said the same thing except went by the name Micheal Blauw. Didnt text real early. Figured it was a scam! Said he would send xtra $50 for shipping for my dress.... Jack [***]!
Have any of you had any contacts from a John Gibson or know anyone that has?! I was just scammed by him. He wanted to buy my wedding bands I had for sale so I made a PayPal account and apparently he pretended to be from PayPal sending me emails saying that my money would be credited once I shipped the item and gave them the shipment tracking number...I then got one saying I had to send him $250 via western union and then my account would be credited $600. That's when I knew I was F***ED!!! Now have to fill out a fraud report with the police, post office and PayPal :(
This guy texted me about a wedding dress I have on Craigslist also. Thought it was legit so I gave my name and address. He came back saying he would send me $2000 to cover a $185 dress and to wire his daughter the rest. It raised a huge red flag so I asked him for the address of his daughter and he told me he would tell me when the check cleared. I googled his number and found this. I just wish I would have googled the number before I gave my address...
I too was listing a wedding dress on craigslist, and got an immediate text from this number with the name of Michael Blauw, stating he needed my name and address to mail a cashiers check to me. Suspicious and courious about an out of state number, i googled the area code and found out this information. Glad I went with my gut feeling.
