Buying and Selling on Craiglist - Warning

[publican57]

Have you forwarded this information to the Attorney General's office? If not, I think you should.

No; I notified Craig List and the company that the check was written on. I will contact them; but I just recently disposed of the check since the people at the company or Craiglist did not get back to me about whether they would want to follow-up.

I responded to a secret shopper e-mail and received one check and a USPS money order with entirely differently names wanting me to deposit and send $200 to an address in Florida via Western Union. I called a TN bank on the check, it was bogus and they had 4 young adult girls in the bank that week with the same story. The USPS money order looked real but when I check the serial # with USPS, they were bogus. The bank and even the local state police told me there is numerous of these and the money gets transferred to off shore accounts.
Craig list has had its problems with people. I would advise them and forget it and not corresponded with this crook. You will probably get several anolying e-mails from him advising to cash his money order, send his product and his cash.
You were right, IF its sounds to good, it probably isn't!!!
