I was offered my asking price for an item listed on CraigsList. Then I was told the person had left for vacation (it was the 4th of July weekend), and his/her assistant had mixed up payments, sending me monies intended for someone else. I assured the person I was no thief and would rip up the checks or return them, if an address would be provided. I was told to deposit the monies, deduct what I was owed, plus $50 for my time, and send the balance to two different addresses in Benin. When I got the alleged Money Grams (in an envelope with no return address) I took them to a local Western Union, where I received confirmation that they were fraudulent. I have received frantic texts and emails as if the person were really serious. I have replied that I will not cash whatever these forms are, he can cancel them, the deal is off, and I will not supply any further information.
