Craigslist (craiglist.com) |  +2 Western Union Evaluation Scam I received an offer to \"evaluate\" a western union. They sent me a very real looking check from Luxottica through Bank of America. The address they gave me was 1513 W 132ND ST
GARDENA, CA 90249. I googled this and it is a shady looking storefront. I am not wiring them the money unless the check clears! |

Your check may 'clear' (the funds may become available in your bank) only to later 'bounce' due to a good faith agreement with your bank. Some 9esp. foreign) checks can take up to two weeks to clear.
Don't send any money by Western Union (The Scammer's Best Friend).
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.
