Just dealt with him, saw this thread. I boldly told him that his number has quite the comments. Then I sent a message that I'd pray for him and blocked the number. Wish I would have played along and got him to waste more money...

Dealing with this guy now.  Knew it was a scam but played his game.  Received the check in an overnight USPS package and all.  I asked him which bank to go to so I can cash it direct and he IGNORES ME!!  I was not about to put it in my bank knowing he was full of poop and give him access to my account number or real name.  I gave him a fake name and work address to mail it to.   I have text him 3 times this morning asking which bank- funny NO RESPONSE!!   well he wasted $$ on the overnight package.  SELLERS BEWARE!!!!!!!  don't be a fool.

Readers, please be advised the "overpayment check scammers" are quickly switching from using email to lure victims to using text messaging (it can easily be accomplished using certain free software on the Internet).  Just because someone contacts you via text rather than email, doesn't mean a thing any more.  For more information on the check scams, please see

This a** clown told my wife the same story about his niece and our fridge for sale.  Then when she told him he couldn't have his money order back, and that we cashed that fake check for ourselves (which was made out for an extra 2,000) he threatened us with a war in the new year we would not want to have.  I dare say he/she is stepping his fraud game up to grand plans of evil tyranny.  I'm certain if he cruises craigslist he's thought to look up his own number and found this thread.  In any case, the police have your b***s*** on record pal, plus now that you've threatened a war to boot, you've got more legal/physical ramifications owed you.  Happy New Year mother f****r.

This person texted me this morning and stated he/she wanted to buy a refrigerator I'm trying to sell through craigslist. I was asked how much I wanted for it (which was very clear in the post itself) and when I reiterated the amount, he/she agreed immediately and said they'd be sending a money order or cashier's check. I replied asking wouldn't they want to see it first, and he/she responded "thought it's what the post says? Or is there something about it you're yet to talk about? I'm ok with the info on it. Whose name should payment be drafted and address?" When I replied I wasn't comfortable giving that info out and would rather take the payment in person when he came to pick it up, he stated "the person picking up can't handle payment cos he's fond of having issues with money that was why I suggested sending it." I did not respond after that and didn't think to google it until 6 hours later, and look at what I found!!! Ridiculous!!!

I keep getting text messages from this guy also saying he wants to buy my washer! After him asking for my address to mail a check I asked where he was located he said Dickinson which is the town next to me. So when I told him he could come by to look at it, he gave the lame excuse that he had to work. That was after telling me he wanted to buy it this weekend!!! And he sends messages late at night also which is very rude! It's sad that people have to be such jerks and make it hard to trust people and sell things on CL. I will never use CL again ):

This person is a scam artist.  Sent me a check for more than what I was asking on Craigs List for furniture.  Told me to deposit the check and then western union the remainding balance to him for shipper.  I went to the bank it was drawn on and yup it was a phony check but a valid account number, so if I had put it in my bank it would of bounced like a little rubber ball.  Be ware, I did turn everything over to the bank fraud department.
The biggest red flag, the check was over nighted from NJ, the check was from a bank in ID, and the western union was in NC.  This guy was all over the place.  I hope they catch him!!!!!!

We told him we were on to him... A stream of profanities and threats  followed.  He denied being a scammer so we texted him the link to this and other sites.  Not another text after that.

This guy is trying to buy furniture from me as well from CL.  He sends text messages with improper grammar and odd in nature.  He also sends them after midnight!  I knew something was up with this person from the very first text but then I decided to do a search online and found all these complaints.  I do not plan to respond to him anymore but I hope he does not keep bugging me.

WOW!  This is incredible.  I'm dealing with this guy right now and I knew something was up with him from the very first text.  As others have mentioned, his grammar/English is not very good so that was warning #1.  Plus, his first question was "Asking price please?"  Uh, if you read the CL post then you'd know the price so I responded with "The price is listed in the ad."  He has sent two more texts that are very odd in nature and also he sends them after midnight!  Who does that?  So I was planning on not responding to him anymore but I was still thinking that something was up with this person so I went online and looked up this number and BAM!  I see this blog and another one all filled with comments about people getting scammed by this guy trying to buy stuff off CL.  What a weirdo.  Not only that but I don't even live in Illinois.  Not even close!  I'm not responding any more and I hope he stops trying to contact me.

This number contacted me on Aug 9 by text message and promised to buy some furniture I listed on Craig's List. Said I'd get a $50 money order in the mail to hold it until the next Tuesday. Promises were made to send the remaining funds and that delivery would be arranged once funds were secured. Requested I take down the listing and to consider it sold. I was told this was a gift for a nephew to celebrate a promotion. This person has claimed to be too busy with meetings to talk to me personally.

Just dealing with this person NOW! Glad I checked.

I was weary when the person stated that:
"I'll like it hold for few days for a token of $50, payment will be via Cert Bank Cashier Check or Cert Postal Money Order that can be".

They don't sound well educated and who really uses the word "token"... but still does so incorrectly?
My set remains on Craigslist on sale. I will be sure to avoid this caller.
I asked for a name but did not get a reply. Must know jig is up.
Hope they don't negative post or block me too, I'm just legitimately selling a furniture set!

WARNING***** SCAM***** I received a check from this individual for 2000.00 dollars over my asking pice of 2650.00 for a total of 4650.00. I decided to hold on to the check and take it to my local Walmart for cashing. The Walmart teller ran the check through the system, and it gave an error message "Unreadable Account Number." After several attempts, she gave it back to me, and said she was unable to help me with this. I notified the buyer, that the check was giving an error of sort, and he replied "You banks system in faulty." Do NOT release or send your item to include any cash they request after the sale. I GAURANTEE you will lose it.

He sent me a text saying the same thing! He was going to purchase the item without even looking at it. Then I searched the number and found out it was a scam. I told him I was going to the police with it and he said he was going to do the same to me and flagged my post as a scam on Craigslist.

BEWARE!!!
This person speaks with a foreign accent.  He told me that his name was Ben Grant (he sounds African to me).  He gets information from Craigslist and then he texts and calls the seller from the information that he gets from their ad.  He tells you that he will pay for the item by sending you a check in advance for your item, although, he has not seen the item at all.  I recommend that you call the police on this guy and what ever you do; do not cash his phony checks.  Turn the check over to the police as evidence.
