This just happened to me, I posted that we had a refrigerator for sale on craigslist and this guy from Nellis Air Force base sent me a email the next day saying he was okay with the price and wanted to purchase the item and was going to send extra money, sounds fishy right? Then he wanted my pay-pal info claiming that it would be safer, and I never responded to him, I just received a check from some woman named "Patricia Cortez" from "Newsom Oil Co Inc" and the check says from "Owens Online" and it was for 3200... Im just a broke ghetto kid from east LA so when of course i was all excited, all this a***ole did was get my hopes up and smash them, i really hope they catch them and lock them up, thank god for google.

I too have an item listed on CL, this person apparently wants it real bad, as I have been going back and forth for over a week. I simply tell them that the item doesn't leave until I have cash, I anticipate getting another one under another name.

Joy Smith was the last one
Troy mendez
Gordon Knox were the others.

BE WARE!!!!!

I listed an item on craiglist and just got the email saying 206-666-3020 would send a certified check for the Bowflex.  I googled the number immediately.  BEFORE responding to email.  Looks like the guy is still at it and it is March 2012.  Did any of you report this to the FBI office since it is being down all over the US.  They have an internet fraud section.

The phone number is a landline out of Seattle WA but is a fax number.
Emails were from the following
rsimon0062819@gmail.com

I was trying to sell stuff on CraigsList...wanted me to send excess money by wire transfer to someone else.

Has my address and phone

Received FedEx envelope with only a check inside for $2800.00 (no letter) on the memo: "Pay by identification" from SEI Private Trust 100 Cider Mill Road, Oaks, PA 19456 but on the fedex envelope same company but address is 1019 Brazos, Room B13, Austin, TX 78701 and Phone # 206-666-3020. Obviously a bogs check, glad I did research...

Got a check for $2800.00 today via Fedex from 206-666-3020 SEI Private Trust 1019 Brazos, Room B13 Austin, TX 78701 Good thing I googled it first.

This phone number, 2066663020, is using my fed ex account number to send items fraudulently.  He is using a return address on the fed ex package of a JLR Communications and 920 Piilani St, Hilo, HI.  This is a flower shop in Hawaii and they confirmed that their address is being used without their permission.  I have fed ex investigating and seizing all packages that are using my account number fraudulently, hopefully between fedex, you all and the police, they will put this dumb @ss in jail!

This guy did the same thing to me! he sent a check for 1500 over the piece of furniture he wanted to buy on craigslist. Fed ex stopped the first check with their fraud protection system but he over nighted a second one. Fed ex said if I were to have recieved it and deposited it then he would have all of my banking information..routing number, passwords and everything!! what a close call. He is dumb for using the same number since we now can all inform eachother of this stupid person. I hope karma really comes to get him. He deserves to be prosecuted harshly.

I also just received a ck today came Fed Ex overnighted from Alamosa, Co  check writtenout supposedly from a school district..Fort Bend Independent School in Sugarland, Texas..The bank ck is Prosperity bank in Texas. i called the bank and these are bogas checks.. and the fed ex labels have been stolen and someones poor fed ex account is getting charged..reporting...same thing a ck only in the envelope. I had no idea  why I received it. Doesnt mention any item I have for sale on Craigslist. Interesting considering the couple items I do have advertised dont even give my name or email address only a cell phone number that isnt even listed to me...figure that out...the envelope has a return address and name of Adbrite Inc. in ALAMOSA, CO

Something similar has just happened to me (4/1/2011). I had an item on Craig's list for $100. This guy e-mailed me & was eager to buy it. I gave him my name & address to mail a "certified check" or money order for the $100. Well, I didn't hear from him for about a week. Then, today, I get a check for $1,950.00. I've looked up the bank & the company's name & the addresses match (they're also well-known companies). There is no connection to the bank, company & the signature on the check is a different name than the guy who e-mailed me. There is also one other thing. The only thing in the envelope was the check (no note saying: "This is for the picture you advertised, etc.")......NOTHING! And, the amount of the check is way more than I'm asking for the picture I advertised (and no note or e-mail saying anything about what to do with the balance of money).

SECOND TIME

keep getting bogus checks via ups for allotta vageina for large amounts of money..this number was used on the tracking form..and if you reading this..please dont send these things to my house alotta doesnt live  here...tyvm

guy wanted to buy my item from craig's list.  used name on envelope Rollin Hills.  It was a check for $5500.00 and in the memo it says instant cash. He sent this UPS. The package originated from Florida, with an address from south Dakota.

i got one for a car part he sent me 3,850.00. the check said some college and the envelope said some linen store but i looked up the address and it doesnt even match to the store.

Anyone who received a check like this should contact UPS fraud department.  we got a check for 1950.45.  The name on the label was Rehau inc out of Cullman Al, the check was "Issued" from kalani packaging inc out of Everette washington, asking us to cash it and send the remainder to Denver.  We contacted UPS fraud to do the investigation.

Same for me. Seeling a time share week on Craig's List and they sent a check for 3,000 more and wanted the balance sent back via Western Union. S/ info was Pratt and Whitney Rocketdtne in Alabama, with a 206 tel number provided but wanted $$ sent to an agent in Sacramento. Scam

THIS BASTARD IS NOW USING MY ADDRESSS AS THE RETURN ADDRESS!  I SENT HIM MY ADDRESS SO HE'D SEND ME A CHECK AND THEN I GOT WISE... NOW HE'S MAILING FAKE CHECKS TO PEOPLE USING 267 MONTGOMERY DR. AS THE RETURN ADDRESS.  I ALREADY GOT TWO CHECKS 'RETURNED TO SENDER' - I AM NOT THE SENDER OF THESE FAKE CHECKS! DON'T COME TO MY HOUSE ASKING FOR MONEY!  I ALERTED THE FTC, THE LOCAL AUTHORITIES, AND UPS FRAUD.  AAARGH I WANNA BEAT HIM UP!

What did you do with the check? Did you contact anybody? Same thing happened to me.

I receved the same phone number from cl
"Dear Seller, Please get back to me if this item is still available,I'm ok with the price. Cell: 206-666-3020 Regards."
I live in Texas... Really fishy.

I also placed items on craigslist and got this same message and number.

Placed some couches on Craigslist.com and got an email saying they were ok with the price. I also didn't post pictures. I live in Florida and this is a WA number so I decided to check it out. Not going to call or email them back. This is who the email was named under;
        Nakamora Zamora (nakazizag02@gmail.com)

I placed an ad on CL selling a pool table.  With no pics.  Email was they were wanting to buy and was ok with the price.  FISHY!  Glad I looked this number up.  Lots of spammers with 206 area code responding to Cl ads.

THIS B*****D IS NOW USING MY ADDRESSS AS THE RETURN ADDRESS!  I SENT HIM MY ADDRESS SO HE'D SEND ME A CHECK AND THEN I GOT WISE... NOW HE'S MAILING FAKE CHECKS TO PEOPLE USING 267 MONTGOMERY DR.
