omg im sooo happy i checked out this number this is just happening to me what should i do ? how can i get thease scammers make them pay for everything there doing?

Amazing! Same puppy story just different names. What losers! I pray they get caught.

This is a scam... I applied to a job in Craigslist and I got an email back saying I was hired.. The bad thing was that my resume had my phone number... After I didn't reply back, they started texting me.... The person used the name Chambers Harrison( but usually they use different names. The person told me he needed a housekeeper but that he was from another place. Then told me that he was going to send me a check for my first week pay and more money to buy the necessary appliance for the apartment (who will hire you like that to work with their family without even meeting you in person).. But what they get from all this is that at the end they ask for your address( my resume had my address) and they send you a check close to 2,000$ and after that give you instructions to take only your first week pay and the rest to send it by western union... They will tell you similar stories... The thing is that after you deposit that check it is fake at the end the money you send by western union you will have to pay it back... It can be worst depending on the banks policy... I noticed soon and didn't deposit the check... Hope I helped.

The person using this number is involved in stealing my company's banking information.  They had checks made in our name & have been mailing them out to people for services rendered. They've been posting ad's on Craigslist for nannies, cleaning people, puppies, etc.  Some people have gotten checks for no reason that even has to do with Craigslist.  Then later they receive a call or text from this number, or a couple have even received a letter stating they were overpaid & they needed to send some of the money back!!  DO NOT FALL FOR THIS!!  IT IS A SCAM!!  We've had calls from at least 10 people that have received the checks after they thought it was odd & googled our company for our phone number to see if it's legit.  It is not legit.  We have contacted our local police dept & the FBI.  If this happens to you please DO NOT CASH THE CHECK & CONTACT YOUR LOCAL POLICE DEPARTMENT IMMEDIATELY!  If you cash the check you will be hit with bank fees & have to pay your bank back as the account is now closed.

The company I work for had our checking account stolen & someone had checks made using our name & what is now our OLD account number, I work for a company in Missouri, and have had several calls from all over the US about getting checks with our company name on them for over $2000, they are using this phone number listed above & using several different names.  They are posting ads on Craigslist about needing a cleaner or a nanny.  They send checks (some are just randomly getting checks not even anything to do with Craigslist), then they turn around & call, text them or even mail them a letter saying they overpaid & they need to send some of the money back.  We've had about 10+ calls now about it.  I hope people are smarter than that & no one cashes these checks but unfortunately I'm sure that's not the case.  We will not be out any money & neither will our bank because it was caught in time since someone called our bank to verify the check but it makes me feel bad that I'm sure some people will be.  My advice is that if you have received a check like this to contact your local police department with all of the information you have, we have already contacted ours & the FBI about it.  

My parents were trying to sell their puppies in Texas. They posted an ad and a woman named Sandra Water calls from Wyoming to try to buy them. I stopped them before it got any farther than a few email requests but all of the info is the same as yours with one addition, my stepdad received a check in the mail from a bank that he uses for his veteran funds for $2k but it looks fraudulent and they were not expecting a check. They contacted the bank and plan on telling them all about this woman, whom we suspect due to timing to charge her for check fraud. Good luck.

I just had it happen to me the same thing I was salein a artari game for 300 I receive a check for 1760 they wanted me to cash it and send the rest of the money to their shipper I turn it to the cops when I knows something was wrong then I receive a text tellin me they comein to pick it up. and I receive two email from this person kyle Thomas it was all a scam.

The same thing happened to my dad. We received a check for 2147.77 and were told to deposit the check and it will clear. We became aware that something was odd when we noticed that the check was from Florida and they said they were from Ohio. The last postage was from Houston. I feel that they are scammers

they are frauds they tried the same with me!

I received something very similar on March 31, 2013. Received text message from someone named Wendy Smith, same story as person named Judy Morgan I thought the same thing as the person below me. I was certain 3 days ago this was a scam, but had no proof. Received the check and deposited it on Saturday. I am hoping that my bank and the USPS will pick these fraudulent stories up and go after these scammers!!!

I am selling puppies and recieved emails with the name wendt smith she said she was deaf and wanted to get the puppy for her daughters bday she stated she would send me a check or money order, i wanted the money order, then i was to cash it take out my portion and forward the rest of the money to her courier, that would be coming to pick up the puppy. So i felt sorry for the woman and agreed, the puppy is 500 so i figured the check might be for 700 or so. Then i get a txt from a man said his name was Gerald Olsen with an address of 864 Central Ave Hyattsville, MD. he was trying to push me into cashing the money and sending it but i hadn't got anything in the mail yet. The woman had told me she lived in Camp Verde,AZ which is about 5 miles from me. Then i get a envelope in the mail with a return address in houston, also Wendy sent me the tracking info on the package when i told her i hadn't got it and it originated in Dallas/ Fort Worth when I opened the envelope there was a check in there for 2147.77 the check had the watermark all that security stuff but the bottom edge was cut crooked(sloppy) it also had 2 buisness names on the check one was like a rental resort in virginia,WHAT then i started peicing all this together and have decided these are fraudulant people and if they     ever contact me again i Will turn everything into the cops, i might anyway. These people have lost their mind and eventually will get caught, they struck out this time everyone please beware of these CROOKS.
