We are being scammed by the same person . Have you contacted the police yet . If so what police department ?

I am getting the same scam right now from TERRI LEE HASSELL
and the Address is: 838 OLD EKRON RD BRANDENBURG, KY 40108.
A 1450.00 check was sent to me for a 100 dollar bed. They want to give me another 100 commission to forward money through moneygram to TERRI LEE HASSELL the so called mover. They were pushing us hard to send moneygram fast for 1250.00 before the check bounced.
I of course did not send. The check bounced costing me 30.00 bank fee for bad check.
Has anybody called the police on these people yet? the check came from     Pr. Michael Matthews <flutterfly631@gmail.com>
If any body has called police. Which police department?

I got this word for word today  so glad I checked did not sit well.

I'm gonna send him a messageH8y7

I got an email from this address regarding a job wanted posting on Craigslist in Jacksonville, FL.  I received the email from bobbrown744@gmail.com.  I immediately googled the email address and it brought me here.  THank you all for posting these comments and saving me a great deal of time and aggravation.

I just have been rubbed by this Terri Hassell guy. What I have to do? I'm desperate.
The bank gave me the money ot the check, I sent it to him and after few days the bank called me saying that the check was uncovered.

I don't have any money. What can I do?

I am so relieved to know that others have had correspondence with this phone number and this email address (bobbrown744@gmail.com).  I have not yet received or deposited the "cashiers check" he claims to have sent, but as soon as I realized it was a scam, I was afraid because he had my address.  I have to believe he is certainly not living down the street from me if all of you have been impacted by his scams as well.

Funny that the scammer sent two different names and addresses....

I'm glad he/she/they didn't get my money:

He offered to buy these large stainless steel bowls in Sacramento CA. Sent a check for $2,500 to cover the $900 price along with $50 for the hassle of dealing with movers. I was supposed to send the movers the difference ($1,550 via western union). In his messages he said he was sending $2,000, but when I realized the check was for $2,500 it dawned on me. I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed, but in retrospect this scam was fairly obvious.

Here's his(?) correspondences:
(none of this info is real, however there must be a real person named "Terri Hassell" who would normally be retrieving the money from a western union somewhere; although this person probably has a fake ID.

Thanks for your response, I'm ok with the price and the description
stated so  I would like to send payment asap. Please let me know if a
certified cashiers check  is ok. After my check clears my Mover will
come and pick it up at your location. I would have come and  taken a
look of it but I can't. (on a business trip ). If you can get back to
me with your info.  I'll mail the check out asap. Need your full name
and address and your Phone Number to mail the check out asap.
Thank You

your item fee and the rest goes to the mover guy? so that pickup can
take place. Let me read from you if am to proceed with you. The check

The overpayment on the check is meant to cover the cost of
shipment for the item alongside my other properties including tax and
insurance, more so i still have other items in another location to
pick and i want everything to be picked together including the one am
buying from you, so this is why the shipping funds was in such amount,

Once the check cleared just deduct your money for the cost of the item
+ $50 am willing to give you that for any running around and make the
remaining balance send to the Mover via Wetsern Union transfer at any of
their outlets near you and get back to me with the money transfer
details gotten after sending the funds (as it appears on the receipt)
so that i can forward it to the Mover for confirmation of payment and
they can schedule for the pick-up at your location.

Here is  Available Mover information you are to send the rest of fund
to....then Western Union transfer charges IN MINUTE should be deducted
from the remaining balance as well.

Receiver Name:...:Ychantiz McDonald
Address............:..:215 N Jones Ave
City...................:..:Rock Hill
State:...................: S .C
ZIPCODE ..........:29730

Kindly get back to me with the money transfer details. Sender's name
and address (as it appears on the money transfer receipt)
MTCN Number
Actual amount sent.

I will also forward the info to the mover and we can find a convenient
time for you in which they will come for the pick up.

I will be looking forward to read from you, have a great day.

 Thanks

Here's my final msg to him, whereupon I finally figured it out, called the bank, and researched the phone number he'd texted from me ((765)273-3103, which if you research you quickly realize is a scam).

Bob,

I called the bank. I'm going to need to wait a few weeks until the money is completely confirmed. In many instances they will put forward the cash, but if the check doesn't clear they can reverse the transaction. Once deposited I'll have to await the deadline after which the bank will not reverse charges.  I'm sure you understand and can appreciate that I can't send my good money to the movers until I'm absolutely certain that the payment is good.

I'll keep you completely updated, but I just wanted you to know that I have to protect myself also from any potential risks.

So whoever is named "Terri Hassell" (or who has that fake ID?) is in on it and knows or is the criminal.

Replied to my Craigslist ad, too.

thot so!!!

Do not call this number. This is a Craigslist scammer. Don't email him or her back, either! This person needs to get a real job!

I just got him on craigslist too and smelled a rat.  Thanks for the info - will mark as spam.

I just got a craigslist message from him too and marked it on craigslist as a scam. Thanks for posting.

Craigslist is not eBay. Craigslist & Kijiji were made for LOCAL only, CASH only. There is no reason to sell a car, or baby grand piano, from New York City to San Diego. If they are not local, want to use Paypal, want to use 3rd party shippers, text only, claim to be in the Military, & want you to ship out of the country - It's a scam.

This guy has been trying to scam me for 3 days on one of my Craigslist listing.
