| Anonymous Sandy, OR, United States 2013-05-06 23:50:59 Classified Ads Scam Craigslist (craiglist.com) | +1 Cashiers check with third party pick up I advertised My boat for sale on Craigslist for sale for 2500.00 and was contacted by Gerry Wollman from Magna Utah who sent me a fake business check from a real business in Maryland for 5890.00 and wanted me to send a payment to Diana Thacker (1130 Academy Cir Dandridge TN 37725 who works at Lance Shipping Company for shipping plus any remainder of the money minus fees and gas money for myself so I wanted to work out other methods of payment with the shipping company so he gave me the name of the manager Craig Perry phone number 435-554-1198 which is a Cell Phone in Logan Utah which the physical address after 5 minutes of research on the internet turned out to be an empty field on a desolate road N 600, Apt 47 Logan Utah 84321 . I was sure I was being scammed right away but I wanted to get as much info as possible to turn over to the police so im putting on the ignorant routine to ask a whole lot of questions about shipping and names and anything else i can think of to piss this guy off :) this part makes me happy... Anyways to all : please dont get scammed by this guy. I have to go cause Im texting him right now LMFAO good luck and God Bless... |

I posted a clock on Craigslist for $700. Michael has offered to buy it for $700, but he needs to add the shipping cost of $550 to the check he will send me. He then wants me to send the shipping fee to Lance Shipping Company Manager Craig Perry (435) 554-1198. The address is 6110 W 25th ST Indianapolis IN 46224. That address is a Post Office in IN. LOL..I am playing along as some super happy stupid girl. My goal is get as much information as possible so that I can turn any information to the police. I would love for them to mail the check so that I can also file a mail fraud complaint.
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.
