Comments on: Don’t Get Scammed on Craigslist Like I (Almost) Did https://www.throughherlookingglass.com/dont-get-scammed-on-craigslist/ Thu, 28 Oct 2021 23:52:08 +0000 hourly 1 By: Allie https://www.throughherlookingglass.com/dont-get-scammed-on-craigslist/#comment-31706 Thu, 28 Oct 2021 23:52:08 +0000 https://www.throughherlookingglass.com/?p=20948#comment-31706 In reply to Jose Valenzuela.

I wish I knew whether the movers are in on the deal. It may depend on the situation. I stopped the process before we ever got to that point. I did take all my proof to the police and they said they get so much of this, they can’t even keep up with it. It’s a shame. The scammers buy multiple phones, use them for a day and throw them out so the numbers can’t be traced. Good luck busting crime Jose, but be careful! These criminals are ruthless.

Are the movers in on the deal ? This is happening to me as we speak and I want to have the police waiting for them when I pay the movers. What you typed was identical to what occurred to me real time tonight. Please respond

It is important to use only checked services! I am the professional poker player and I know how important is to choose the reliable service. That is why I use CasinosFellow when I need to check the reviews about top-rated sites.

Hi Melissa – so glad you didn’t fall for it. The check did actually come, we just shredded it, as the police around here were not interested in getting involved in gathering evidence, as it apparently happens so much….

I almost fell for this just today. I started asking questions about the moving company and the specific amount towards the end so hopefully they don’t send me any. Take it to the police if they do?

I had a similar situation tonight. “I’m out of town but will be sending someone to pick it up” no mention of paying the movers but he did offer $100 over the asking price in the form of a check. We had told him the check had to clear first. Figuring we’d be good when it did. But I still felt a niggling doubt so I went and searched Google for scams involving Craigs List. Had no clue it took up to thirty days for a check to actually go through the process and really clear!! Responded back to the man that we could NOT take a check as we had thought but instead cash only or PayPal. He stopped responding so I am assuming we are in the clear. This article saved me from a serious blunder that would have ruined me financially. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Truly! πŸ’–

I had the person send me the check. The envelope was from FL, buyer said he was from IN, and the address on the check was from CA. I let buyer know I received check. It was for $300 over asking. I emailed and thanked for the extra cash, and that I would use that to buy better skis than I planned on (by selling the wheels and tires I had on Craigslist). Then the emails and texts cane fast and furious. Accusing me of stealing and he’d call the FBI. Said I was just kidding…said I sent a check for the difference certified mail to the return address o had on the envelope. Said post office was right next bank. Quick and easy. Then all caps responses came in wanting my phone number…as I kept everything to email. I should have. But then I have him a little bit of an offensive goodbye and that was that. As I saw it…scammed paid to have a fake check send FedEx to me and was out the cost of next day. I was out a bit if my time. Hoping to collect lots of checks like that, and leave laying around my office like Chevy Chase in Caddyshack. ….” Oh that check. Yeah. I don’t really need the money”
