I got a call from this number on my job the man had a heavy voice stated that he was an officer of the law and needed me to contact him as soon as possible, if I did not contact him e would contact my boss and then he would have someone pick me up at my house and arrest me. he stated his name was Officer John Peterson and the call back number to call was 646-524-3267.  I have no ideal why this man would be calling threating me and also  it is against the law here for anyone to call and threaten you or stated that they will have someone come an arrest you, so be careful people there are a lot of scams out there

I just got this message in an email. I google searched the number because I wanted to know where it was coming from. I already called the number and left my number for him to call back. At least I know its coming from a scammer and I can mess with them now when they do call back.

Olmstead

phone:(646) 867-3267

Just recieved emails from this guy, everything above is what he did to us. Called the local Sheriff's office and confirmed that this is a total scam.

Scam reply to Craigslist add for iPad.

Same, received a message to craigslist add:
Hello .. i wanna know if the item is still available for sale? Olmstead  phone:(646) 867-3267

Who is making these calls?

Yea I got an email about the same as everyone else. Wondering  if the item was still available. Signed Olmstead. I was wondering where 646 area code was so I googled  it and found this site, Thanks

I'm selling a truck and this is what he replied back.

Hello .. i wanna know if the item is still available for sale?
Olmstead


phone:(646) 867-3267

Hit me on craigslist . I was selling a Harley. This is a nice site to refer to. He uses the (646) 867-3267 number.
 What I like to tell these scammers is that I need $10 in cash to make sure it is not a scam.
 So far I have never gotten the $10 but have lost over 1/2 billion dollars in lotteries and drawings... lol lol
 I am in Ca.

Another telltale sign of a Nigerian scammer: starting sentences with "Am..." instead of "I am...."

Lola - Looks like we can only help ourselves and advise others. Craigslist must not be set up to nail these people. Thank you.

I received an email in reference to my craigslist ad.  The name on the email was Patrick Olmstead.  It included his phone number which was 636 867 3267.  It also used the word "item" instead of talking directly about what I was selling.  These scammers are such a waste of time.  Thanks to this site for listing the number so I could find others in the same situation.  I don't usually get phone numbers from my constant scammers.

Sent this number in a response to my craigslist ad. The warning signs in these email responses to watch for is the word "item".  They never say do you still have the car or motorcycle or whatever.  It's always do you still have the item?  Also they usually put something about the condition in their reply.  They will usually just copy and paste the headline in your ad so always ask for a specific word in response to your ad such as Harley or Chevy etc. Here is a link to report these scammers

Just got another scam from these people.

This is total spam, he usually emails you first. Do not respond, or make any deal.  You have been warned.

This number was also used as a contact number from a response to my Craigslist post - used the name Dray Donald. Email exchanges felt odd and he wouldn't contact me directly. He just wanted my Paypal information so he could send money.

I called paypal and they said the scam is sending a fake paypal confirmation of funds transferred - you can check this simply by logging into paypal.

Just checked the TN address and it is a house listed for sale. Searches on the phone number associate the name and indicate a scam.

This number is used as a contact number from a response to my Craigslist post. Obviously a scam!
