This is a scam.....Right??

I researched this person on here and didn't find any info on
them but here is an email I got from a Craigslist listing
I currently have.

"Lewis Mel" <[email protected]>
Thanks for the prompt response to my mail.I will be buying the item
from you so kindly withdraw the advert from CRAIGSLIST.and i
will be paying you via bank certified check and the payment will be
delivered to you via United Parcel Service (UPS or FEDEX).I also want
to be the best offer by offering you extra $100 to your selling price
as the best offer and i will like you to get back to me with the
following information to facilitate the mailing out the check to you:

Name to be on the check
Home address & apt # (NOT P.O BOX)
City,State and Zip Code
Cell phone #
Last asking price

NOTE:  I will make arrangements for the pick up as soon as you have your
money cause i also have some other goods i already bought in other
locations which my shipper will pick up all together. i will get back
to you with the tracking number once i made the payment out to
you.need your quick
response.

Regards.


I wrote them back and told them that I did not do business that way
on Craigslist and not to contact me again.[/color][/i]

Hello rosemary28801 and welcome to Scamwarners.

Yes, it is a scam. You have received a scam script from a scammer.

He does not want whatever you are selling. He want to steal your money. He will attempt to do this by sending you a fake bank certified check. After you receive the fake check he will have you deposit it and pay his shipper, mover, agent. He will tell you that the mover only takes Western Union or Money Gram. The mover is the scammer himself or an accomplice. Days or weeks later your bank will notify you of the bad check. You will have to repay the money back to the bank. The bank may close your account and report you to the Police for Fraud. No one will ever come to pick up what you are selling.

It is best to sell your item in person with cash at a public place. With larger items that can not be moved easily. You should have someone there with you.

Thank you for posting [email protected] and his script. Now when people search. They will find him here.
