This person actually sent me a text from accounting@srflooringconcepts.com. No phone number. They asked me if my furniture was still available, and requested that I send them an email (rather than a text back) so that they could meet me the next day to check it out.
The next morning they emailed me to tell me that they couldn't meet with me due to "long work weeks", and they were fine with the price, so just send them all of my mailing information and they would mail me a check, and "pick up the item" at a later time.
Anyway, I looked up larball50 and they used to scam people from a weird phone number : 410-200-500. I guess people caught on so now they use that messaging id srflooringconcepts. People are saying they use your email address for phishing and malware, and they do the overpayment by check scam, stealing bank info, etc. They are busy!

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.
