Hey guys if you guys are selling on CL be aware of an on going scam from a particular buyer.
What this person does is send you FAKE check or money order for over the amount and they ask you take the extra money and use it for shipping to this strange movers company. The check obviously won't clear how ever the buyer makes money off you sending the extra amount you never had or you sending your product.
I never made it that far. I did some internet research and I caught the scam before the check came and I notified my local police station.
The buyer changes email addresses but here is the important things to look for.
Here is the Email they used-
"marywanna11@yahoo.com"
They will contact your phone number via text messages using an AIM screen name which is the following-
"Badmustt"
Email like this-
"Hello Matthew as soon as the check gets delivered to you i will like you to kindly go ahead and cash the check or deposited and deduct the agreed price for the Gt factory Lambo/vertical door kit - $850 + additional $100 compensation for your running around making $900 in total and send the rest of the remaining funds via MONEY GRAM MONEY TRANSFER to my Movers for immediate pickup of the Gt factory Lambo/vertical door kit coz i am relocating with my family to NORTH CAROLINA and the Movers will also be in charge of making shipments and also taken care of all Titles and the Bill of Sales for me as regards my other valuable items and household items that need to be shipped as well..Ok
Here is my Movers information to send the funds to via Money Gram"
Next and this is Key, Watch for this shipping address-
"Steve Rauchfuss
377 North 440 West
Lenoir,NC 28645"
Hope non of you has problems with this and good luck buying and selling.
