Craigslist John Brown "[email protected]" is this scam?

New information for search engines.

This scammer is now doing Craigslist job scams ( Driver , Cleaner , Job ). He will send a fake check or fake PayPal payment (Emails will not be from PayPal) as an upfront salary payment. He then will have the victim send an over payment via Western Union or Money Gram to his Agent or third party. The scammer is playing all roles in this scam.

He may have you be a money mule and receive Western Union or Money Gram payments from other victims. Do not do it. You will be the only one Law Enforcement will find and charge. The scammer is not using his real name or phone number. His text / phone number is a Google Voice number. His email and name is fictitious. His IP is forged. He is in Lagos, Nigeria more than likely in an Internet Café used by many people.

In this scam we call it an Advance Fee Fraud. The scammer will promise you fake money. You will have to pay fee's via Western Union or Money Gram to get the fake money. Once you send the money he will continue to ask for more money for different reasons. He will only stop when you stop sending him money.

The scammer may even send you a 10 digit MTCN number with a sender name. Western Union will say the money is available for pick up. However, its more than likely only $5.00 and for sure you are not the receiver.
Scammers do not give away money.

Fake employment scam. The scammer sends a fake check. He has you cash it and send an over payment to a third party. The third party (mover, agent, or etc) is the scammer. Your bank will cash the check. Days or weeks later the bank will inform you of the bad check. You will have to re-pay the funds and possibly be be charged by Law Enforcement for Financial Fraud.

Hello,
My name is Janet Bridget,we have a house and we are looking for a
tenant who will take care of the house like his/her own property and i
saw your ad on craigslist stating that you are searching for
one,please email me back as soon as possible to know if you are still
in need of it and also the location of your desire.

Thanks
Janet.

Hello,
I am so sorry for the late response just that i have been really
busy with work and have not been able to check my email until now.
please let me know if you are still searching.

Email me back immediately you receive my email and i promise to reply
you as soon as possible as well.

Once am sorry for the late response.

Janet.

The thief will tell you that you can rent his accommodation only if you can prove that you have genuine interest. He will ask you send money by a Money Transfer Service to yourself or a member of the family to show that you have sufficient finances and that you are not a "time waster".

Another variation of this scam is that you need to send money in order that the keys and other documents can be couriered to you

He will ask you to send him the transfer details.

Make no mistake ! These transfers can be picked up virtually anywhere in the world and with the minimum of identification. They are almost impossible to trace once the money has been collected. You will never get to see the accommodation or your money again.

If you are reading this because you are looking for property to rent, and you are in contact with this thief you are probably searching Craigslist, Gumtree or similar listing sites. If you receive any requests from 'Landlords' asking for some kind of payment by Western Union or other Money Transfer Services before viewing, then it will also be a scam.

I also think this guy is scamming also .. [email protected].... He said he wanted to buy this couch and would send a cashiers check. Then have his movers call me for the location. I sent him my address just to see what he is up to. Gmail needs to stop his account...

We already know what he is up to.

He will send you a fraudulent check. You will be instructed to cash the check and then wire money, most likely to his "movers." The fraud may not be immediately evident (for example, the check may be written on a legitimate account, but without the real account owner's consent), and the bank may give you the cash in a few days as required by law. But days to weeks later, when the bank discovers the fraud, they will take the FULL amount of the check back from you (and if you have withdrawn money you will owe the balance), PLUS they will charge you fees for a bad deposit and any checks that bounce as a result of the reversal, AND they may call the police and have you arrested for fraud on top of that. Of course nobody will show up for the couch, because the scammer is really just using you to cash his fraudulent checks.

If you gave him your address, he will likely send the check. Do not attempt to cash it, or it will cause you lots of problems, as stated above.

Gmail stopping his account will do nothing. He will open another account, under a new name, or just with a slightly different account name, in less than 5 minutes--and then he will just keep going.

This is what I got in the last email from this chump.
[email protected] So add Him to the list....


Hi, i got your information, please i want you to remove the item from
sales list because I'm going to mail the check tomorrow via fedex or
Us postal mail and i will get back to you with the tracking # so that
you will know when to expect it. And am also going to include the
mover funds that will come down for pick up along with your payment.
So when you receive the check get your item fee and the rest goes to
the mover? so that pickup can take place. Let me read from you if am
to proceed with you. Thank You .

I have received new information that [email protected] and [email protected] are using some new email addresses to contact people. I was also told that they will use a service to hide their IP address. With that service they can make it appear that he is in Texas, New York, Canada and etc. I was also informed that they are attempting to scam on houstonsingles.com, interpals.net and persons.com
