The old rule still rings true today... 'if it sounds too good to be true it usually is'.

I got an email from honeycole6@gmail.com, too

I placed an add on craigslist as well. I received the same reply. The number is in Washington. Anyway something did not feel right so I placed a few more ads on craigslist  to see what would happen and the replies came immediately.
Someone is sick in the head

Hey,
mine isn't exactly a number but I seen something like what ya'll were talking about.I too sold an item from Craigslist I think it is a scam here is an email I recieved for a "honeycole":

Hi,

  That's great, thank you for getting back to me. Though I'll be
using the services of a mover who will come for the pick up of the
item on my behalf because I'm currently away for a contracting Job but
I will send a Cashier check through my Bank to cover the cost of the
item. The check will be delivered to you by a reliable courier company
within 2-3 working days. Please do provide me with your full mailing
address, and also indicate your final price, the Name that should be
on check and finally a cell phone #. Kindly delete the posting because
am serious in buying it, when the Funds Clears then we can arrange for
the pick up asap. I will want your honesty on this because am a God
fearing person. waiting to read from you soon.

Thanks for your understanding...

You Idiots!  People are sending you bad checks and asking for large amounts of cash to be returned to them.  The other variation is to ask for your bank account information when the "payment" doesn't seem to arrive via electronic transfer as promised.  Then you will be seperated from your money as all idiots that would waste time with such an obvious scam.

same thing in georgia,but mine was from a honeycole12@gmail.com

same thing in georgia

Amazing! Marc Pollon told me he was deaf and could only communicate through texts. Also the name James Dung was involved and Tony Markone, Hannah Rostvold, and Tony Mark Pollon.
I have a check drawn from a California Bank in the amount of $2,500 for an item selling for $150. An address in Texas (Not Valid) to send the balance less shipping. Hmmm, maybe it's fraud?
What do you think? Also at least two of his email addresses at GMail and Yahoo.

Hello to you all...I am is the real Mr Marc Pollon what is really going on?i am not a scammer and am not sending any email to you?i think some people are just using my name to do this....pls get back to me so i can know whats really going on?

Same Massages and Same people and even more... What happens in my case When i was posting Item for sale on CG... This scams Idiots where sending me checks with much more then i was asking for! They do that by UPS or FEDEX next day air... It cost them about 15$ each send. Past Two weeks I have 5 checks from them. They all Fake... My office call on each directly to the banks on the checks To verify them! And ALL OF THEM ARE SCAM!!! BE AWARE!!!

I received the same email from Tonnyadams@gmail.com. Unfortunately I passed my information, I hope there is nothing they can do with it. :( Don't fall for the scam, if they offer a shipper it is a scam no doubt.

I received a similar email regarding an air conditioner we were selling for $250. Then we received a check by Federal Express for $2000. Don't know what to do.
