Well seems he is going by Donna. Holmes now

Who is this that is texting my son nathan adams

Today my dad met a lady online and she asked to speak with his daughter because he is a very sick man with stage 4 cirrhosis of the liver. She called herself Mandy all contact was through text she then began to ask for my bank account info and that causes me to alarm like who asks that about someone they don't know. I did not give her any info that she wanted she claimed she wanted it because she was opening a store and needed an honest person to do wire transfers with. I am now going to block her number an have informed my father what I have seen.

He contacted me about a car I was selling on craigs list,then proceeded to ask me to work for him,definately a scammer!!!!

Same story on the Wilson deal and adsded another today when the following fool responded in the same way to a different CraigsList ad.

Grant Edwards edie35444@gmail.com

Yup, got one this weekend from Walter Felix. Email is Topdogs003@yahoo.com. Or Gmail.com

Sorry for the same question.
I am Ok then. Thanks I will turn over the check to authorities maybe when it arrives.
Perhaps it will be of use.

I just sent that guy my address 10 minutes ago.
That God you guys have all this posted. It sounded a little to good to be true. Am I in any danger at this point?

Yes. What the likely outcome with these kinds of scams is that you "Cash" it at your bank, but it takes a good 5 to 8 business days till it shows up at the bank as a fraudulent check or money order.
Unfortunately, if you have already done what I nearly did--which was to send a personal check from my account to this "Shipper" after depositing this bogus check, the shipper gets MY money and most likley splits it with "Tim Fleming" or whomever he really is.
The fallout then is that the bank believes you may have been part of the scam ..your credit is damaged and you're out hundreds of dollars plus bank fines etc.
Not fun--except for Timmy Boy and other lowlife cyberthugs.

Aslong as I don't cash the check I received from this scammer i'mk okay right?

I have been corresponding with this same person over the past week. I knew something seemed shady!!  Thank goodness I have done anything yet and found this info on here. What a jerk for causing this much trouble!

I just received the same offer from Tim, quite a busy guy. This is the 5th email of this type this week from a different gmail account each time. They never mention what the item is in the body of the email and want to pay more. I just ignore them now.

Thanks for your mail. The price of the item is fair to me and i wouldn't want to loose it so it would be my pleasure to add another $20 to the asking price so you can sell the item to me and also tell other interested parties that it has been sold to avoid competitions. I don't have much  time to come over to take a look because of my Business i have limited time, i am ready to make check to you but i need you to get back with your full details as



1)Full name for Payment
2)Full Address
3)city
4)State
5)zip code
6) cell or home Phone Number(also let me know the best time to reach you on phone)



I will be waiting to get those information from you later today so i can make check  out to you immediately, Please don't bother yourself about the pick up, i know a forwarding courier in your state, they will handle the pick up immediately you inform me that you got your check  cash, then i will contact them to come for the pick up of the item at your location at your own best time....
     I will be waiting for your quick response tomorrow latest.





Stay Blessed.

Wow... Same here. Guess I looked him up too late cuz I did give out my address and receive his check. I will not be cashing it now obviously. Thank God for the internet and thank you all for posting. By the way the name on the check, the envelope it came in, email name (Tim Fleming) and the name of the persons he wanted me to western union the rest of the money are all different. So glad I didn't cash this check, thank you all again. This guy only text because he claims to be deaf.

Thanks anonymous. I called the police and made a report. I printed off all email communications with Mark Wilson, also the craigslist and ebay ads I had placed. I still had the check stub and shipping envelope and all $2400 in cash. Turned all of it over to the police and the police went to my bank. I cashed it Wednesday and returned everything the next day. The police called me back and told me it looks like a fraudulent check. I'm just glad I was able to come here and put everything together before it got out of hand. Old Mark seems like he's sweating. Contacted me twice and I refuse to reply but I will keep every email he sends me. Thanks for the help.

You need to contact your bank, tell them everything and give back the money ASAP -- this is the ONLY way to protect yourself. If the check bounces before you tell the bank, the bank may think you are a willing participant in and not a victim of the scam. You can be theoretically prosecuted for passing a bad check but your bank may be more forgiving if you tell them ASAP.

just replied! ugh what scum does something so useless! what happens now? what do you do to protect yourself?

Same here, from Mark Wilson

just got the same email that everyone else has been getting,i did email my address and cell number though before i figured out it was a scam,i saw the number at the bottom of the email

Hi guys, unfortunately, I think I screwed up. I don't normally do business on craigslist. I posted my ROH dvd collection for $500 on there and ebay the same day. A day later, "Mark Wilson" sent me an email with all the same info. Unfortunately, I cashed the check. What should I do??? I'm really nervous.

I got a similar message using the name Mark Robinson.

HTH

Thank god my husband told me about this happening to a friend. I had already agreed to the terms with the exact email below. I started looking into this and asked him for his number.  Thanks to all of you for posting this...it nearly cost me $500.  He tells me he is a man of God and that I can trust him as he gives me this phone number to text (646) 434-8269.

I got the same messages in reply to a Craigslist add I posted. I am reporting it too.

Yup this guy is a scammer.  Beware!

I dont mind adding an extra $20 just for you to keep it in my favor.If you are okay with my terms please reply with your full name and address where payment should be sent,and a phone number where i can reach you.And i will appreciate if you can take the posting off craigslist today and consider it sold to me.The check I'm sending will be in excess,as soon as check clears your bank you will deduct your part and give the difference to the mover for the shipping service . I'm asking you to do this for me because of my tight schedule at work and I need to finalize this ASAP.
