My experience is similar with a text message from this number. They had sent an email asking me about my phone services and things of that nature, like a survey. I responded and then he told me that he was going to send me some information on a new cell phone service that was going to be started in my area. I gave him my PO box number for the information, but suddenly I got a cashier's check in the mail. I took it to the bank and they confirmed that it was fake. That's when the texts started asking if I had got the check. I said I did and asked what it was for and he said it was for reimbursement for my old crappy cell service and for the fees to start with the new program. I then text him and told him that the bank confirmed the check as fake and all he said was ok. Since then he's sent several texts wanting to know if I have cashed the check. He doesn't seem to comprehend that I turned it over to authorities.
We have been receiving text messages from the above number who claims to be deaf and not to call back. It all started with a e-mail saying he was interested in buying our motorcycle from craigslist and was going to send us a company check which he did and for us to email him letting him know that it has been cashed and he was wants for us to get a money gram or cashiers check to send to the person who will be picking up the bike. The bike is for 2,000 and he sent us a check for 5,000. We are to send 3,000 to the person picking up the bike. This person just texted us to let us know the check has been delivered which we already know and tore it into pieces and put it in the garbage disposal.
