  | Anonymous Burleson, TX, United States 2013-05-29 20:36:37 Classified Ads Scam Craigslist (craiglist.com) |   The begging started one day and the next day the check bounced Scammer Information I receive in the US postal a priority mail letter with tracking information and a check for a lot more than the listed value of the wheels & tires. Fraud indicator #2, the purchaser wanted to give me more money than I was asking. I receive a text that the purchaser is desparate for the merchandise and asked if I would foward the balance of the overpaid check to the shipping company. The check, when I deposited it had an 11 day hold placed on it. Fraud indicators #3 & #4, begging for a transaction to take place and the bank will not pay out any funds. In this particular case of fraud, I did not lose any money but the crime committed is at least \"Conspiracy to Commit\" fraud. I will be reporting this to the FBI and Postmaster General. At least four states are involved when they used a shipping agent, and the mail. |
