This number sends text messages in response to Craigslist ads with the following message: "Ok. I will pay by M O or cashiers check so send me your names and mailing address so payment can sent out immediately and you will get in about 2-4 days. I will add $20 to reserve it for me. Pick-up is after you have received and cashed the payment. Awaiting your info." This is a way that scammers send fake cashier checks or money orders to people. They ALWAYS ACCIDENTALLY send too much and ask you to be "honest" and return the difference. Being honest, people return the difference and after the fact, their bank notifies them that the cashier's check or money order is fake and reverses the deposit. Then they are SOL regarding the overage that they returned to the fake Craigslist buyer and their bank charges them for a returned check fee as well!!!
