Online Classifieds TEXT SMS Scammer

Hello, am Shelly a friend of my daughter (Tracy) sent your ________ on ksl to me whats your final price for it ?

Thanks for your response i called the pick-up driver he will be calculating haulage fees e.t.c as such i need you to send me your name and address exactly the way you want it to be on the cashier's check ?

Then she switched to this # 214-699-5197 a few days later.

This is awesome. I had the exact same thing happen to me. This person (named Shelly Gates) started with the phone number 408-618-2863. She later texted me from 214-699-5197 asking where to mail the check. I gave her a PO Box to mail the check. Upon receipt, it was over the agreed amount. Already suspicious, I called the bank named on the check. The account number matched the account for a cashiers check but the check number in the upper right hand corner was not legit. I texted "Shelly" back asking where my for sale item was being shipped to and who the moving company was. Four hours later I have not heard back from Shelly. There you go.
This process needs to be shown to everyone that has something for sale on sites like Craigs List.
Good luck all and don't become a victim of fraud.

This happened with me too. I gave "Shelly" the address to the Maryland state police as that was where the first number was from. I keep telling them to stop texting me and don't want to make the sale to them but they won't stop.

This person is a scammer. They sent me a text from 949-281-4396 first then switched over to 214-699-5197 a couple days later. They were responding to my ad on KSL and said they sent a cashiers check and to let them know when I have cashed it.

Same exact thing... Told her my name was George Jetson.  Awaiting check, should be here any day!!  ;-)
