so here is how the scam usually starts out.

good morning i hope this item is still available for sale?( insert item)
then they are going to have "someone" cut them a check blah blah blah.

i actually got one of these scammers to call me,i asked him how much money he makes on these scams and his reply was "big bucks".... he then asked me for my email info,i laughed....

the exact same scam as previously posted. A fraudulent check is mailed, then when it is deposited you will get hit with a return check fee from your bank and will have to cover any monies you may have spent from this fraudulent check. Call the supposed issuer to confirm the fraud if you have any doubts.

Similar story: I was offered the full price for my vehicle posted on CraigsList.  He offered to pay with a "certified bank check", then the item would be picked up by a "private shipper".  I replied to ask his name and location.  He said his name is Don, and he is in Colorado "right now", although this area code is Arizona.  Suspicious?

My son was selling a car on Craigs list, and got a text from this number saying the guy was interested, and would mail him a certified bank check for the car which was selling for $600, and then have it picked up after the check cleared. Then he got another text saying the check he would be receiving would be for $3000, to cash it, keep his $600 and then send the remainder with his "private shipper". Really??? That is when we got on here and saw other posts about the same number. Obviously a scam. Money laundering?? Don't fall for it!! If we were to cash that check guaranteed by what we have in our bank account, then we are out $3000! I don't think so. Beware craigs list users!!!
