--------------------------------

r.davis-Hello i really appreciate your response to my earlier mail.like i said
i will like to buy this item so pls do withdraw the advert from
Craigslist. I will also like you to know that i will be paying via
check.I will need you to provide me with the following information to
facilitate the mailing of the check.

1.Your full name to be on the check
2.Home or work address
3.Your phone number.

**I will like you to know that you will not be responsible for moving
i will have my mover come over for the pick up as soon as you have
cashed the check**

Have a nice day.

N.B UPS does not deliver to a p.o.box address..




now in confused,,cause i never got a call,i usually like to speak to the buyer,before any deal.and besides they never mentioned which part it was thy wanted to buy:confused:and ive never used craigslist lol


so i just emailed em back,,which part was it that u were interested in?i have 3 items listed,,please give me a call if u are really interested.thanks-zach

Nope. The dead give away is when they say Item

If they don't say what it is, its fake.

yea then they asked for my phone number,when it was listed in the craigslist lmao

yeah its probably a Nigerian. I got scammed by one

100% scam..

so the scam would be i get a no good check?

since i put (local pick up) on the ad,,he or she mentioned that they would get there mover to pick it up once i get the check?
lol im still waitting for there response,,ill keep yall updated

tell him to have the "Mover" bring you cash for the "Item" :lol:

SCAM. I used to have a Harley for sale on there and got emails all the time asking my price and possible shipping for my item when the price was in the listing and most people don't buy bikes off CR and have them shipped...

haha been here before!! if you were to reply on for about 2 more messages...the person would "accidently" write the check for too much(stolen) and even compensate you for the inconvienience by giving you some extra money to go cash the stolen check for them and give the"mover"(associated scammer!) the extra grand most likely from the extra "1" they put in front of the amount on the check......worst part is the check is from somebodies account they stole and is written out to YOU and the scammer makes YOU go cash it that way if the police get involved it all comes back on YOU!!! these people are very un-original....same scams everyday but people keep falling for them...


....dont ask me how i know this! :argg:

^^^That sucks.

def. BS!!!

an Idiot at work fell for this, i even told him its a scam. he said no no its not..
:story:

He had a tv on craigs list, and got this check in the mail with out a notice or even a reply. it was for like 1k over what he was asking. the guy replied in a letter to just keep it for the hassle. i told him don't send the tv an trash the check, he trys to cash the check like an idiot. luckly he didn't send the tv.

Scam

I say do it Zach! Just give your ID to someone that looks like you. Have them go cash the check and see if the cops swarm him... :lol:

:nono: JUST KIDDING! Do NOT listen to me... :dancenana:

someone tried to do that to my brother, but he caught on before he got screwed!

This is extremely common on craigslist. I would hope everyone would be smart enough to never ship something in such a manner. However, even good people still fall for these.

You have to use common sense with things like this. Why would someone with so much extra cash to throw around be dealing on craigslist?

It's upsetting to see people get scammed because they immediately light up at the thought of "extra money"

i never got a response back,,yea sux people get burned all the time,,im hoping to make a buy on pt.net on a 6.0,,hope for the best.

LOL, i still got my fake check for 12 Grand. Think i might frame it. Its kinda fun to play along with these losers for a lil bit. I hope they all burn in ....

Happens to me all of the time. I have even recieved pictures of millions of dollars that will be sent to me for helping them... I cant believe people have even fallen for that crap.

post a pic of that check lol
