Overpayment Scam
Craigslist (craiglist.com) |  +1 Craigslist Scammer Man sent me an email claiming to be interested in buying the tv I was selling on craigslist. Promised to send me a check that would cover my price of the tv, cost of shipping, and an extra $100 for my having to send money to his shipper.
This is a scam. He will send you a check and it will initially clear so that you can send money to his shipper next day as he asks. However it will come back after a few days as a bad check and you will be out that money.
Luckily, I googled his name before receiving the check and did not get fooled by him. Don\'t let him get you! |

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.
