Ok, thank you for replying. Actually i can't get it right now anyway… my nephew just put a big dent in my van so now im gonna need to find out how much its gonna cost me to do the repair. ugh!

I thank god he didn't get hurt but of course it needed to happen NOW, when i am finally earning very good money from this home income program ive been using. You know, if you want, theyve just opened up 2 more positions in our area. Basically you get paid to post links on the internet, its really easy and I just do it while watching tv.

Here is the link if you want to read about it:

I've earned about $700 a week since I began… not enough to stop working yet but i finally have some extra money in my checking account. Well, maybe not after i get the mechanic bill lol. My sister is planning to sign up later and these positions usually go fast, so Id appreciate it if you didn't give the link to anyone else. Thanks!

Im so happy that he's ok but of course it just had to happen NOW, when i am finally earning very good money with this work from home program that i found. You know, if you want, they just opened up 2 more positions in our area. Basically you earn money by posting links on the internet, it's very simple and you can just do it while watching tv.

^^^ I removed the links for the site mentioned above. As you can see, it's not a safe place that we want people to click on from here.

The website at consumersaffars360.com has been reported as a “phishing” site. Phishing sites trick users into disclosing personal or financial information, often by pretending to represent trusted institutions, such as banks.

yes of course!!! sorry and I hope no one clicked on it!
I just did a copy/past of the email I received without paying attention to the link.

My apologizes...

Thanks for getting back to me, I'm going to make a quick purchase of
it, but I will not be able to come and look at it, because am out of
town right now. Payment will be made through certified business check
and you don’t have to worry about the shipment; because i will hire a
shipper for the pickup. I know there are lots of dirty pool online,
therefore I would absolutely wait for the check to clear at your bank
before we set up with the shipment plan. So if you are interested in
selling this item to me, provide me the payee name and contact
address, with your phone number, for me to mail the check to you.

Got same reply from this guy but i actually went as for as receiving a check. The check was for an ungodly amount so looked up his email address and found this site!! What to do now??

Welcome to Scamwarners, tylerdurden31!

Whatever you do, don't try to cash it! If you're in the US and the cheque arrived through the mail, report it here: https://postalinspectors.uspis.gov/form ... laint.aspx
Apart from that, you could print out the emails that you exchanged with the scammer, and bring them, along with the cheque, to your local police.

Thanks for the info!! Yeah there was no way i was gonna cash it! I will def report it!

Hi,

It happened to my wife too. I didn't know the address below so I contacted the bank from which the check was (which is a real bank in US...) and provided a copy of the check so they can do an inquiry...

They thanked me for that and said that, unfortunately, they are currently having a lot of fake checks like that...

In this kind of situation the scammer's plan is to send a check higher than what you were asking and they will then ask you to send them the difference between the time you cash it and the time the bank figure out that it's actually a fake check...

For instance you sale a computer for 1000$. The scammer (SC) will send a 1200$ check.
The SC will contact you again saying something like "sorry I sent 1200 instead of 1000, please send me back the difference: 200$". So you go and cash the check for 1200$ (fake dollars), take 200$ (real dollars) from your account to send them back. Unfortunately few days or weeks after the bank realize that it's a fake check and remove the 1200$ from your account... You lost 200$ real dollars!!!...

Hope this explanation is clear!

Unfortunately few days or weeks after the bank realize that it's a fake check and remove the 1200$ from your account... You lost 200$ real dollars!!!...

Moreover, your credit may plummet and you may be prosecuted for money laundering.

Here's another reply from "Marcus Anderson"

I don't get it. What's the purchase of sending an email like Marcus Anderson's? He could get most of that info out of the phone book or online.

The scammer is asking for the name and address info in order to move to the next step--sending the fake check to his victim to be turned into cash for him.

I just found this site by putting in the name of this fellow. I posted a Porta-Bote folding boat, and this guy sent me this identical email. I responded by saying that it didn't make any sense for him to buy one of these in Washington State and have it shipped to Texas, that Craigslist advises against this type of transaction.

Glad I found this site.

Scammer email: [email protected] Name: Anncy Graxano

Still trying to scam people and also using alias email: [email protected]
This was the email I received from:[email protected] Hope its still available?

Sent from my IPhone

Then, sent from email: [email protected] Name: Anncy Graxano
Thanks for your quick response,My secretary get in touch with you in
the first place, Anyway I hope it is in good condition like it stated
because I have taken a close look at the advert and am completely
satisfied, . I'll want you to remove the advert from web and consider
this item is sold to me, I'll be paying via Certified check and the
check will deliver to you in next 3 working days Via USPS.So i want to
be the best offer by adding $25 to your money for holding it for me
and i hope you will keep this item for me.I will like you to get back
to with the following information bellow so that mail the check out to
you:

Your Full Name,
Contact Physical Address not p.o box,
City and State with Zip Code,
Cell phone number.

*** Note that I will make arrangements for the pick up as soon as you
have your money**

Awaits to read from you.

Right away if they do not mention the item directly there is something wrong. Also most of the people I deal with on craigslist txt me and if they email me it's one maybe two lines. This was my response to them:

As I appreciate the fact that you are interested in the item and are willing to buy it, I will promise you that it is yours, but will only accept cash. I do not deal with any types of banks, MO, Checks, or cashiers check of any kind. When your associates come to pick up the A/C unit please make sure they have the cash on hand. Also we do verify the bills. This is nothing personal, it is just the way I conducted business on craigslist.

Thank You

First time I've received a SCAM email. Everyone just be on the look out
