So I too received a text from "Chris" who claims to be from Tennessee, but in in NJ where her wedding is to be held, and wanted to buy my wedding dress which I listed on Craigslist (in OHIO).  Same story--just had an accident and is mute, so won't talk on the phone, just text.  Wants to buy the dress immediately, sight unseen.  And wants to send a certified check and then will have a shipper pick it up.  It just seemed a bit strange, so I checked on here.  Clearly something funny happening.  Maybe I'm just ignorant, but how would this scam even work?!?  Anyhow, I won't be proceeding...

Got a text this morning about a wanting a dress I had up on Craigslist, problem is I don't have a listing on craigslist and I just got this phone number three days ago.

I too was selling a wedding dress and the buyers name was "Chris". This individual clearly did not know English. When I asked if they were local, "Chris" responded "I am disabled".  I got the same story about how they were in an accident that left them disabled but the Wedding is still on. They wanted to send me a cashiers check and needed to have the dress in a hurry. I knew it was a scam but had to google the number for myself! Scam, Scam, Scam

Same thing happened to me yesterday. I deleted the craigslist posting and will never use them again. Hope no one gets taken by the deaf mute who wants wedding dresses that she has never tried on lol

Same thing everyone is saying except this time I guess the name switched from Jessica to Chris getting married and wanted my dress. He asked if we can talk... as I was at work I told him I can only text. Very quickly he replies that he can't text because he is mute...huh? Shouldn't that be easier?! And how does he text so quickly but supposedly  can't text me? Anyways I didn't even reply after that as I knew this was all bs. And this was the 3 craigslist scam I've receive in response to my dress. Pretty much all stating they will mail me a check including cost for shipping and for me to give them all my info. Don't fall for it you guys!

I got a text this morning from this number who wanted my wedding dress that I'm selling on craigslist. I wasn't sure about the number so I looked it up and noticed your comment about a dress and I also have a listing for a wedding dress so wanted to confirm if this is a scammer or not. I thought your comments seem the most similar to mine so I figured I would leave a reply. Please let me know where reply as soon as possible. Thank you.

CRAIGSLIST SCAMMER! Jessica from NJ trying to con me into selling her one of my dresses. She asked me questions that were clearly covered in my ad. I called her out via text and told her I k we she was a scammer after seeing this... Never got another response, go figure!

My wife was contacted by a Jessica McCarthy@hotmail &  609-358-0749 claiming to be from Winder Ga but was in NJ marring the boyfriend that proposed the nite before her accident witch left her disabled an mute ' sounding familiar '. But he still loved her and wedding was still on. Wanting to send a certified cashier check witch would be more than were asking but the extra was for us to pay the shipping company witch was her private shipping company  they were helping her pick everything up for the wedding. Seams like all the bits and peaces from the above post rolled up in one. !!!!SCAM it is!!!!

I just posted an item to craigslist and not ONE person texting me was legit. I received 5 (yes 5) different phone numbers different area codes, all saying their name was penny and wanting the item. Then I got 2 (one was this number here posted) that said they were a mute that was in a car accident blah blah blah. One was named jessica and the other was Linda. UGGH.. it is so frustrating and a waste of my time. I want to get back at them sooo bad... somehow!! thank you for showing your numbers here..it helps alot!!

This is a VoIP line registered with Bandwidth.com. The scammers pretend to be deaf so you won't call.
And of course there is no "shipper."  They don't want your item, just your money.

I also got a message from a Jessica Mc Carthy saying she was in a accident claimed to be a deaf/mute who was disabled from a car accident too wanted to send cashiers check from NY for my dress    Beware SCAMMER !!!!

I'm glad I looked all this up def got contacted by the same person and heard all the same things wow crazy how low people can be!

We also got a message from a Jessica Mc Carthy saying she was in a accident too and wanted us to ship a dress to her !  Beware SCAMMER !!!!

Just got a message from this person. The told me they were mute due to an accident and wanted me to ship the dress I am selling. Definately glad I found this forum.

definite scammer, wanted to send cashiers check from NJ, have a "shipper" pick up the merchandise, pay $20 more than offer price, claimed to be a deaf/mute who was disabled from a car accident but wanted to talk on the phone!

Scammer!

Definitely Craigslist Scam!
