[email protected] Kayla Cecil

Hi everyone,

This is a warning, about a fairly common craigslist scam, a "Kayla Cecil <[email protected]> trying to pull the fraudulent certified check scam. Was trying to sell my old laptop, no bites for MONTHS, then contact from this 'person' about wanting it, would pay my full price + $50 for my 'running around' during the transaction and their moving company would contact me to pick it up. I haven't received the check yet, but when I do it's obviously not getting cashed and will get taken care of, and I keep my laptop.

I know a few others have made posts about certain people who do this regularly on craigslist, I don't know if it's the same person using a different name now, or a new one. But I thought I would pass it along for others to keep their eye out.

Same here and i received her check and told her it was to much and i was not going to money gram it, she sent almost 2000 i hope people find this out before they dare money gram that woman or man, who knows

same here i received a check for 1,998.54 my add on craigslist was for 400 she asked to money gram the rest to an address @ Jason Simmons 427 W Trade St ,Charlotte, NC, 28202 i googled the add no one lives there i contacted the property manager who will be looking in to it and the company c.electric contracting comp llc the name of the company on the check, when i spoke to her, carolyn taylor, she advised me i was the 15th caller and that she already contacted the authorities they even sent a little girl a check and her father was irate i advised her i wanted to press charges as well and she took down my info pls if you willing to put a stop google the comp and speak to mrs taylor im sure the more ppl that get involved something will be done but i know i wont stop till i find out who this person is .... hve a blessed day everyone

Welcome all to Scamwarners.

You can report the scam to the USPS.

File a fraud report with the postal inspection service. http://ehome.uspis.gov/fcsexternal/default.aspx You can also request an envelope from them and actually send them the check since you received it via US mail.

my check was taken when i tried to cash it but they gave me a copy

^^A copy of the Check and the envelope will be helpful to the USPS. Make sure you make yourself a copy, print your scammers emails and save them. You will also want to show your bank the emails. Show them you were a victim of a scam.
