Scammer! Said they had work for $350 a week. Sent me a $700 bogus check.

This person used the name Andrea Isabel to email me in response to a Craigslist ad for services for her 17 and 19 year old siblings Mary and Sammy.  She sent a fake check and requested multiple money transfers to people in other states. andrea18b@gmail.com

Person used this number as part of return address and sent a check for $1500+ to buy an item I advertised on Craigslist. Check was supposedly from Holstein Association USA Inc. and she requested Western Union money transfers to Chicago. Email address came from Jessica Edward. I am sure that's fake too.

I had a fake check sent to me for over $1500 more than what I asked for on Craigslist from a Jessica Edward. She requested that I take out money for the person picking up the item. The only difference is I never received a call. All the communication came from an e-mail (Jessica Edward <kimberly6yb@gmail.com>). I wouldn't of noticed anything fishy except she said she bought something for her apartment from me in one of the e-mails for her "new apartment in that city". That's strange because she had responded to an ad for an engine. Now I have to go and figure out how to handle this.
