Craigs list scam! Mark, a caller that called from 601-274-3443 (Mississippi area code) yesterday about a Craigs list add I had. A Florida business check (Cold Plasma Medical, Inc.) came from an envelope post marked NY, NY, for more than twice the sale amount. The business is a residence in Florida as google mapped. Today Mark called from 406-201-9335 (Montana area code). SCAM alert area code!!!

Got a text about an ATV I had on Craigslist. I had it priced pretty low, so i wasn't surprised that the person didn't question the price or ask for more details. When they said they would mail a certified check and that it would get picked up I still wasn't too worried, but after I gave a mailing address they said the check would be for more than the asking price, and the balance was to pay their shipper. I asked what name would be on the envelope, the answer was that they would get back to me. Not sure how they thought that would work for them, but I'm guessing they were hoping to send a bogus check and then come take my ATV and make me pay to ship it to them.
