I had put my wedding dress up for sale on eBay and craigslist. Was contacted via text by this person. She wanted me to cash the check and put money on some type of prepaid card. I told her no. Send me the check I will take it to my bank to verify if its real. A company named Stewart Title Company 15950 Dallas Pkwy #100 Dallas,TX 75248. It was a counterfeit check!!!! I thankfully didn\'t cash it. My bank said if I had I would be financially and legally responsible. When I texted her back to tell her it was a fake check she pretend to not understand.

Didnt see a way to edit a report. I'm the same person as above but am adding the phone number which is different from the original poster.

Since you’re here …
we have a small favour to ask. More people are visting Scamdex and Scamalot than ever but advertising revenues are falling fast and we have no 'product' to sell. And unlike many informational websites, we haven’t put up a paywall or membership barrier – we want to keep our site as open as we can. So you can see why we need to ask for your help. Scamdex/Scamalot websites takes a lot of time, money and hard work to keep running. We do this because we hate to see our fellow humans getting scammed out of their hard-earned money by low-lives.
