I received the response while trying to sell a surfboard on Craigslist. Thanks for the post. This person claimed to be Anthony Collins.

three companies also victims as us all are

I am in Tampa, FL.I received an email from Silvy Zavala" <bostonland1@gmail.com> and chris morrifon" <bostonland1@gmail.com>.  I thought it sounded great too, until I received the second email and knew it was a scam. I am worried that they have my information and they may come after me or something. I have reported it to proper authorities.


"Thank for the prompt response my secretary will  process  and mail a
certified draft to cover the cost  as am completely satisfied with
it.I will need the details of whom & where to mail the payment
1.Name to be on the check
2.Home address
3.Mobile #
Please note 'United Parcel Service' do not deliver to P.O.Box
addresses and i will not be  mailing a draft to one.My mover will be
coming over for the pick up right only after the payment as been
delivered.Kindly delete the posting as am totally committed to buying
from you to save cost,..Here is my relay phone # is  205 351 4708 am
deaf and will receive your phone messages via email ,regards

I have since receive the confirmation from my secretary  that the
payment as been issued out and was mailed by the United Parcel
Service. It will be delivered to your address a day from now according
to the courier ,but to my greatest surprise the draft was issued out
to the sum of $2000 instead of the actual cost of my purchase . She
claimed that i requested for that amount to be issued out to you  but
am very sure i only made a request for just the cost of my
purchase.This is a terrible mistake and i was just informed about this
so please once  the check is delivered  please take it to your Bank
and have it cashed

You will then deduct the cost of my purchase  plus an extra $100 to
offset the cost of your run around expenses.The rest of the fund
should be sent to my mover  via western union the same day you
receive the payment so that my mover  can make the trip over for the
pick at once. **I will need your immediate response via email assuring
me  that i can trust you to handle this with utmost care and  have the
remaining fund returned appropriately as requested  and will hope that
your intentions remains noble though out the duration of this
transaction**"

Same here:
