Craigslist Buyer

SCAM

27th of Aug, 2015 by User88906

Received text from (336) 933-0686 saying "Found your AD on CL,Pls get in touch with me on [email protected] if its available as am texting of a friends phone".

I replied with email, and received reply saying "Thanks for getting back to me,i am interested in purchasing your furniture but the only way i can is through a Check which i will mail to you through UPS

I am willing to wait for the check to clear before the pickup is done. I will be responsible for the pickup and it will be done by my movers,their payment will be included in the check i mail to you.This is all due to me being deaf and it makes it hard to deal with this,Also it will make this transaction better and quicker.

I know you were not expecting this and I would have loved to come for the viewing but i cant.I really want this and am offering an extra 50 for you to delete the Ad and reserve it for me, Am settling into my new house and looking for good furniture deals to furnish my place with

if you are okay with this please send me extra pictures if you have any and get back to me with

Your Full name
Your Physical address

Henry"

I have not proceeded further as I researched the internet and discovered other similar scams/cons. Will proceed to inform police authorities.
