Fraud Example And Stories.

I too list frequently on craigs list, and have received the phony checks, but what happened this week was unreal. I had a hot tub listed for 1500, I was contacted via e-mail and phone regarding the sale and shipment. I agreed to accept certified funds 2500 and pay the shipper on arrival. I received a certified check, my bank verified the check and the funds and cashed it. I waited 5 days , then figured it was good I contacted the buyer and arranged p/u sat. A man showed up with a trailer loaded the hot tub, I gave him the 1000, I agreed to out of the check. All went well, then Tue. of the following week the bank called , the checked was returned refer to maker. It was a scam, the stamped signature was no good. I guess we need to deal with good old cash. As I'm now out a 1000 and a hot tub. Not to mention the phone number is no longer in service and when I searched the address from the envelope of the check, I found a number to another scammed victim. Frank

Two years ago I had a rare red-front macaw (parrot) for sale. I got the scams coming in from all over the WORLD! The one I remember the most was the one (supposedly) from England, wanting to pay me more than I was asking. They did the typical “I’ll pay you 1000 American dollars more than you want for the bird and you can just use the money to ship the bird and keep the rest.” Well, my mother had a philosophy regarding this – It was “If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.” These people were very persistent, however, and finally I told them that the bird was RARE and was NOT leaving the country. So, folks, DO NOT let YOUR greed get in the way of your negotiations, and do not take the bait. If you have something for sale and cannot sell it in the United State of America, then maybe it was not meant to be sold. Markita

I have a motorcycle for sell and I had a man write me and ask about it and I wrote him back and told him all about the bike. He wrote me and told me he was going to buy the bike.  He said he was going to send me a check for $12,500 which was $5,000 over the asking price and as soon as I got it and put it in the bank I was to send him the $5,000 back to him for shipping and handling. I guess you can figure out I did not accept his offer. THANKS ROGER

I had a man named Michael Downs contact me several times regarding my concession trailer that I have for sale. The only question he ever asked about the trailer was if I would drop my price $1,000. If I agreed to that he had a client that would buy it. I agreed to his price. He also said that he would send me the $26,000 for the trailer and an additional $9,000 that I would have to mail to the transportation company. He said the trailer was going to London. I received the cashiers check in the amount of $35,000, yesterday 5/29/07. Thank goodness, I had my bank contact the bank on the check which was in California, to check its authenticity. As I suspected, it was fraud. He contacted me via telephone today 5/30/07 and instructed me to send 2 separate money orders or wire transfers to an address in Atlanta, GA. and then someone would pick up my trailer on Sat. I told him I would be happy to hand over $9,000 in cash to him, but it would have to be at my place of residence and in person. That is what the local sheriff told me to tell him. The sheriff also said not to expect him, in which I didn't. Michael was not going for that and was persistent on me wiring the money. I couldn't hold back any longer and let him know that I was aware of the fact, that the check was fraud. At that point in time, he hung up. Be careful people. Amen to: "If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is."
