MN_home4ever | Is this a scam from craigslist? |
I posted cabinets on craigslist and received several emails from buyers. I got one from a Captain Bobby, who says he is in the U.S. Airforce. He sent me a check, but it took about two weeks from when he said he was sending it to now. He sent me the check via UPS (express). This guy gave me a tracking number and everything to track the check, and it did work. The name on the check and on the pacakge is dif. than the guy who supposedly is buying the cabinets. Should I worry? If it were a scam, couldn't I trace back where the package came from and the emails he sent me? If it were a scammer wouldn't it be stupid to be seding me a check through UPS with a tracking number and ****? Also the check looks legit. It loks more like a paycheck with my name printed on it and it's from a chase bank in Maryland. The back of the check looks like any legit looking check. I'm all confused because his eamils were really werid. Now he says to keep 10 percent of the money and send the check back.

Hello,
Thanks a lot for the business,but i just want you to know that i will not be able to buy the item again.Actually,this is not my own decision but it is the circumstances that i have found myself and my family lately. My only son just had accident in a car crash yesterday afternoon on his way to school.His car actually burnt into arshes.I just want you to put yourself in my shoes.He is dying and i know God can actually help me to save him.I won't be able to buy the item.i
hope you really understand and feel my pains,the trauma i am going
through,and my heart burns. Actually,the item wa meant for his birthday
this month,I know he would appreciate if the money is spent on his
health rather than buying him the item.He is dieing now.He is in a
coma. |

Yep, a scam. Contact Craigs list and the postal service. This is wire fraud. Good luck. |

THIS IS A SCAM !!!! Trust me. The check is fraudulant. The bank will cash it and by law they have to deposit the money in your account within 10 days. So, you think it's a good check and send the guy his money.
In reality it takes about 4-8 weeks for the check to go completely through the banking system. You will get a notice from the bank saying the removed the money from your account to cover the check. |

I looks to me that it might be a scam. I would tear up the check and try to resell the cabinets again. Sometime scammers go to great lengths...It seems that way in this case... |

Sounds like a scam to me. He sends a bad check and you send a good one. Tear it up or turn it into whatever authority is available. Sending bad checks is illeagal.
If it were legit, why keep any money from someone with such hard luck? A servicemenber with a dying child? I don't buy it. |

Definetly a scam. It's good you caught it when you did. Please report this scum so that someone not as observant as you won't get scammed. |

That sounds like a scam ...
Report it to Craiglist ... Keep all the emails you have gotten from Captian Bobby ... Make a copy of the check front and back for your records and return the check to him
I have been looking at the news for any car that crashed in or around Orange County ... There hasn't been any related to his news ... Besides his english is BAD for an U.S. Air Force guy! |

well, if it were genuinely true, and i repeat 'IF'.
And you feel sorry for him and want to send back the money, why dont you get the name of the hospital, verify the address of the hospital through the net, yellow pages or any certifiable place, call them and set up the payment process, which goes directly to the hospital in his 'supposed' son's name.
If it's genuine, the money will be credited to the boy and if not, well you've done a charitable deed.lol
I guess there are too many scammers these days to really trust someone with such an issue.
I wish you the best, please let us know how it goes. |

Definately a scam. He tried to gain your confidence in him, then your sorrow, they he'll gain your money. His check is no good. What a scumsucker. |

Sadly, this is a fairly common scam these days.
The buyer sends a cashiers check for more than you listed the item (or makes up a sad story why they can't buy it anymore) and then asks that you wire the balance back and to keep about 10% as an inconvenience. It isn't until a week or so passes that you find out that the cashiers check ends up being a fake. (Sometimes it takes the bank two or more weeks before even THEY know that the check is bogus.) Now you are out the money you wired PLUS the bank charges you a fee for the bogus cashiers check.
SO... if you haven't cashed that check yet, then don't.
Here's more about the scam from the Michigan Atty Gen:
NEW COUNTERFEIT CHECK VARIATION
Other new tricks on this old scam involve a response to an online offer to sell or auction goods (usually expensive items). Here is how the new scam may unfold:
* The con artist "buyer" e-mails the seller to express interest in the item, offering to pay with a U.S. bank cashier's check.
* Once the offer is accepted, the "buyer" makes some excuse for sending a cashier's check that is several thousand dollars more than the cost of the item and wants the seller to send excess money: 1) to cover transportation costs for the purchased good; 2) because the buyer's secretary made a mistake and put the wrong check in the envelope; 3) with the purchased product; or 4) to a third party to cover an existing debt.
* Credibility is added to the ploy when the "buyer" insists that the money only be sent after the cashier's check clears.
* The cashier's check is an elaborate counterfeit and it takes the bank longer than usual to discover the fake.
* The seller thinks they have received a good check and sends the good and the âextraâ cash.
* The bank notifies the seller the cashierâs check is a counterfeit and removes the check amount from the sellerâs account. The seller lost the goods and cash.
COUNTERFEIT CASHIERâS CHECK ALERT
Consumers must be alert to the fact that just because money from the check may be made quickly available doesn't mean a check is valid. The check must go back to the originating bank and it must clear. This process can take several days and, in the case of an elaborate counterfeit, may take a few weeks. |

SCAM!! It's not legit. How would you keep 10% and send the cheque back? He is counting on you to send him 10%, and someone else (most likely him) the balance, all before the cheque clears. |

The email CERTAINLY looks like a scam. Stay away, don't cash anything, don't send anything, and report him to someone, maybe USPS with printouts of the emails. Everything in his email sounds seriously fake and coincidental. |
