So glad you were able to figure it all out before you would get scammed. It is easy to fall for it, but am glad he or she didn't get your had working money. He or she comes on this site to see if anyone has reported his number... then the number gets changed. He is crafty but the poor grammer and other signs give them away. Good for you friend - I hope everyone googles these numbers.
Did you get their serious but comical attempts at threatening your life if you doing do this or don't do that? I thought that was a desperate act at the last ditch effort to lure you back in under fear of great bodily harm... Really???
These people will always exsist - there will always be people looking for "marks" to hit. This is but one of thousands of SCAMS. Beware people!
Wow I got the exact same text message that "Lynn" got word for word. I also posted on Craigslist. And at 5pm this morning I got a text from 917-248-0594 and it said "Still ur dress for sale?" I got a bad feeling from the start. I did reply though and told them "yeah." Three hours later they texted back "I used to live in ur city I just got a job in Utah as a security agent and am just getting for my daughters wedding. So right now am not in the city but I am interested in buying the dress cos she love it and the price is Kay...I will be paying you the exact amount of the dress and $30 extra for you to hold fr sell fit to me. I will pay via postal money orders I want you consider selling the dress to me. Please let me know if its accepted." I texted back cause I don't live anywhere near Utah and asked how are they going to get if if it needs to be mailed or they gonna pick it up and how long it will be. They texted back " thanks so much. I'll want you get back into me with your address so the payment can get sent to you as soon as possible. I love the dress and ill like it for my daughter. All i need is your full name,where the payment will be sent to." And I replied the exact same message that I sent before since they didn't answer. That's when I googled the number and found this. Thanks so much for everyone that's posted about this scammer they need to be stopped!!!
Well they are still at it... same messages being sent out, just new numbers. They are wasting my time, so i get them all excited & make them take the time to issue me their fake checks , they have to pay for shipping to get it to me....lol then I just tell them they are scamming the wrong people & sorry your check didn't clear, even though I never take it to my bank, just throw it away & make my police report.
Watch out everyone he is still at it. I just received the same exact message as Lynn on here just Yesterday and Today both days with each of these numbers.
I am so glad that I found this, I was being scammed! he sent me a check for 1979.00 and i knew off the bat something was totally wrong because i only asked for 100 dollars. he said the same things and he kept switching phones. talked to my mom and she told me about fraud and stuff. so i googled his number and i am baffled at what i see. thanks to this site i avoided fraud! he also texted me from (209)245-8792 watch for this number as well.
