This is a scam. I responded to a job posted on Craigslist which seemed legit. This creeper keeps sending me texts saying the same thing as above. I am reporting him to Craigslist, local authorities. and to Federal Trade Commission as well as blocking him from my phone.

Someone keeps texting me from this number regarding items I have on CL in Outer Banks of NC. No way are they actually interested in driving from NY to buy mirrors. Has to be a scam, just not sure what he hopes to accomplish.

yuppers... thanks for posting this!!!

got one last night and told them to have their delivery people bring CASH to pickup item... currently waiting to hear back from them, but i doubt i will.

offered $100 bonus to hold item... i think they think we're all able to be taken advantage of... then again the law of averages for them says "1 out of 10 will do it"... so why not?

be aware and beware...

They Are Now Using Magic Jack Numbers To Make Customers Think They Are Calling From Thr us

This GuyS Are Scammers Let Them Know You Have Reported Therr Number To Ftc N They Are Turning All Numbers All Over To FBI....

Does anyone know how to get this guy busted? Just got hit by him too via text. Played phone tag with him. Can't speak a lick of English. Called from a NY and a FL number and said he is from Sacramento, CA. When you call him his phone breaks up mysteriously.

This clown has obviously tried to scam a lot of us. We were the lucky ones. I wonder how many low income old people this piece of crap has actually scamed. Word for word the same offer to buy and offers xtra money to hold it. Your luck will run out pal. I hope someone turns it around on you.

It's Feb 24/2013 and the same thing and same number just tried to scam me!

It's Feb 22 and the same thing and same number just tried to scam us! Luckily, I had a weird feeling and did a google search and found this info. This guy needs to be caught!

I received the same message, word for word, with the $50 holding bonus. Can't believe how rotten the world we live in is now. Can't really trust anyone now a days, just sad.

hey did he tell any of you to send mail to misty sheltie 2465 us highway1 s ormond beach florida

Same thing except name is Elizabeth Gonzalez(prduct102@gmail.com)

Craigslist email scam

I got messages from the same guy saying his name was Bryan Morlock that was a marine from North Carolina he also sent me a email inconowrep@gmail.com and he was a very angry person when I was talking to him like he was ODC or something saying where was his money and he was very commanding about it also very rude and I thought it was weird he didn't care what the vehicle I was selling what condition it was in didn't ask no question just told me he would give me $50 extra dollars for all the running I would be doing and to keep it on hold. He also lied about how he was going to pay me he told me he would do a money gram through Walmart but I soon found out he gave me a tracking number where it was being sent from fed ex which i thought was very weird. After I got the check I went to my bank and right away my bank told me they won't cash it because it was a scam. I am worried for my life I will never go on craigslist again I have delt with this pretty well but still being very cautious.

Received  same email from a craigslist posting knew it was a scam what really bothered me was the fact that he claimed to be a marine.Karma will get You

Wow, I have gotten this same message and I even got the extra $50.00 added on. Thank you all for saving me from a scam.

who is this Guy???? i got same message on my email for my item on craiglist, except he will pay extra $50 fr me to hold the item..

same exact message but air force

Same thing through craigslist about my item. SCAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow I got the same letter today.  The only difference was he was gonna include an extra $50 for me to "hold" the item.  The part I find most disturbing is he claims to be military, in my letter he is (AIR FORCE VETERAN).
What a shame that people have to scam others!!!  Thanks for posting all the comments so I was not SCAMMED!!!

I got this exact message from this sammer hog this morning. As soon as I read it, I immediately figured it is a scam. I also googled the number and sure enough. It is a scam. Dang, too many evils in this world. It's amazing!

Got the EXACT same thing today LOL

Got this:
