I think this guy is scamming me on craiglist HELP PLEASE?
Please read all this bellow I am very confused as to what this guy wants or what is happening here. I was trying to sell a power distrobution box in my area for $395.00 dollars. He sends me a message and says he for sure wants it. Then I tell him well we should talk on the phone. Then he says that he is deaf so he can't talk. Anyway I gave him my mailing address and I told him that if he sends me a check in the mail and it clears the bank it's his and I will see that he gets it. Well I haven't got a check yet and I told him this so he gives me this line of stuff bellow WHAT IS GOING ON?

____________________

Hello and how are you doing today....As a matter fact the deal is on and according to the accountant,the check will be delivered to you today...,And once you get it,i guess you know how to handle everything.But there was a little mistake which i guess we can handle amicabely. When i contacted the account department to know maybe the check has already been sent ,i got to know that there was a misinterpretation while sending the check.The problem occur because, i am paying with my salary and i told them to issue out a check in your name for the amount and the rest will be written in my name for the rest of my salary but all the money was sent to you.According to the instruction i gave them,they were suppose to have sent you a check of the actual amount of the (Temporary Power Distrobution Center ) but in the process they made a mistake by sending all my salary.They claimed that they thougth i said they should send you a check for the amount of ($3,395)But that should not disturb our own transaction and i am sure we would both handle this. So this is what i think we would do ,once you receive the check, you should cash it imediately and,Also do deduct $100 for your run around expence, you will easily forward the extra money directly to my mover in cash immediately through Money Gram International Transfer.Originally,i had in mind to collect the rest of the money and use the money to pay the mover, since the mover is also picking some other items for me at varoius locations. Pls let me know your schedule so that he will know the best time to come for the pick up and do take good care of goods till he comes.I guess i can confide in you that you can handle it with trust and have it sent to my mover. Here is the tracking number......(he put an 18 digit letters and numbers in these braces) This is what i want you to do.....i will like you to deduct the money for your item and then deduct another $100 for your run around expence,and then have the rest sent to my shipper,cos my mover is at the moment stranded and in need of the excess funds.........Go to any walmart outlet around you and have it sent via MONEY GRAM INTERNATIONAL....



NAME---Kathleen Smith
ADDERSS----some address
Roundlake, Mn some area code



Afterward i will require the following info from you............
1.The name and address of the sender.
2.The amount sent. (After deducting the transfer Charges).
3.The reference number



Please deduct the transfer charges from the amount you want to send to the shipper,also i will like you to send me the map quest to your house so that it would be easy for my shipper when coming....Go to WALMART with cash to enable you make the transfer
Regards.

Yes - the idea here is that they're sending you a bad check and they want you to pay them "back" with real money. A couple days after you cash the check they sent, the bank will return it for insufficient funds and you'll be out $3295 and probably some service charges. Old scam, but it keeps working. Never send anybody money by wire (Money Gram international) unless it's to a trusted friend or relative.

And no, he doesn't want to buy your power distribution box. :)

Yes. This guy is scamming you. Don't fall for it! If you get anything in the mail from him, send it straight back and tell him to send you the proper amount via postal money order or cashier's check. When you receive that, take it to the band or the post office and make sure it's genuine (you wouldn't believe how many are being forged out there!). Make sure the funds clear your bank completely. Then, and ONLY then, should you send the item.

I would not do anything with the money. I would ignore and forget about the whole transaction. Any funds he sends you will be reversed from your acct. It is a scam.

Personally it does sound like a scam to me. If you do receive his check under no circumstances should you cash it. It would probably bounce, and if you cash it at your own bank, then you would have to cover it with your own funds. I would contact the Attorney General in your area and report this.


Oh Boy!
Yes, it's a scam.

You'll deposit the check and send the guy his money via wire thinking you're ahead $100.

Once the wire has been sent and you have no recourse, you'll find out that the original check is no good. You'll be out all the money you wired.

scam, get a lawyer, find him

Its a scam.

This is a scam to get you to believe his worthless check has value. If he gets what he wants, he sends you a check, which is worthless, but you send him a check ("refund") which he cashes. He doesn't want your merchandise, he wants your money. If you want to see another example of this, go on the NSTRA.com newsletter site - one of the members of this organization posted a letter that looks a lot like the one sent you, because he DID get ripped off, and doesn't want anyone else to be.

You should notify the postmaster in your area. They will give this to their security personnel for investigation and prosecution.
