Apparently Barry's had a Sex change, because I listed a watch on Craig's list & a Woman named Sara Suber Contacted me. Our Conversation is as follows:

Sarah:

Thank You.

Me:

Yes I do. Are you wanting to purchase it?  If so, let me know & I'll set up a meeting place, date & time.  For safety reasons, I'm accepting cash only. Thank you for your interest.

Sarah:

You Can also please attach any other of the picture to view,so i can forward it to him to view as well, I will also like you to go ahead read more about PayPal via www.PayPal.com  And once that has been done. So kindly proceed to set up the account with them...and if you are finally get through kindly get back to me with your PayPal email address so that it will enable me to proceed and make your payment as soon as i receive your PayPal email address from you and,I will also make sure i add $100 to cover the shipping cost via (EMS)  EXPRESS MAIL SERVICE OF USPS POST OFFICE OR VIA REGISTER MAIL OF LOCAL POST OFFICE . I will be very glad to hear back from you soon.

Me:  (This is the Point I figured out it was a scammer)

Are you local or close to Montgomery?  I would prefer to meet somewhere as opposed to shipping it, and I'm only accepting cash.  I have had many problems in the past with PayPal so I no longer sell through them.  Sorry for the Inconvience.  If you're still interested, I'd be more than happy to meet you somewhere.


Sarah:

I reside at delran city 144  copper skill road Nj..but i want to purchase this item for my friend as a gift....so kindly proceed to setup account with the paypal and also get back to me with your paypal id so that i can proceed to order for your payment today.

Me:

I'm sorry, but I'm gonna have to decline your offer.  I don't use Paypal & while I realize you're in NJ, I want to meet my buyer in person.  Thank you for your interest.


When "She" Gave me the address, I googled it to see it it was even a real place & cam across this page. I'm so glad I did. I knew it was a scam, but this page more or less confirms it. All the same grammar & addresses...You'd think they'd get smart after a while & use a different address...

I got this e-mail today, 11/16/11.  Why can't these scammers be caught?  It's really frustrating!

Yes me too hit with this Berry Johnson wanting to buy my Craigs List posting and what made me check on his name is that what I am selling it needs to go thorugh the timeshare office and he wanted to send me a bank check me to mail the timeshare to him, HA! I told him I could not get it in one of the USPS boxes and I think it weights more than 70 lbs.

We working on this barry j.

This guy is a piece of work. Contacted us via craiglist for a coping machine. I have been in constant contact with him till today when responded to him about his check and his ignorance that we would actually be sending him money via Western Union. The check was mailed from Florida from a P.O. box number and the check was written from a business called American Force Wheels. The company is a legit business in Florida and the check holds the same address as the company. The bank that was used was SunTrust Bank in Florida. He sent a check for the copier for $2450.00 which the copier was only $800.00. He wanted the rest wired back to the shipper. The funds were verified through the bank and was a legit account. So he is getting a little better at trying to pull the wool over the eyes of innocent people. This is his info we have and some of the communication we have.

Sounds Good.

I'm happy it's still avaliable!

I'm sorry for my late response. I have been in hospital for my surgery and was unable to check e-mails.
I would have loved to come and see it before actual purchase, but i cannot due to my work which puts me in a very tight time frame. I perfectly understand the present condition as started in the advert. I am ready to make instant purchase. I will like to proceed with payment via Bank Check. I'm in no rush with you till funds has been cleared in your bank or anything. I'll handle the pick up when check has been cleared. Kindly e-mail me back with your Name: Address: City: State: Code :Phone Number. The payment should get to you within 2 to 3 business days via USPS Postal Service. Please withdraw the advert from Craigs to avoid interruption.


This is another email;
I just check my bank account online and funds has been lifted. I'm sure the payment will clear this morning in your bank. Please send the mover funds via Western Union Money Transfer  Asap to Mark Edward!

I haven't gotten a call from him, but I responded to a job offer on craigslist. A guy named Zarrate Ljunberg(alreadyinlove101@yahoo.com)wants me to print checks for his company and they would pay me $150 per week.  Initially I thought it was an accounts payable job. Zarrate Ljunberg became my buddy on yahoo messenger to tell me about the job. I told them I didn't have a color printer and would not be able to get it for a while. Then he told me that he had another friend who I might be able to work for. His friends name is "Barry Gibson" of Barry Textile LLC.

I received the following email from "Barry"

{Dear Sir/Madam,
Barry Textile LLC is searching for an individual above 22yrs old who can work as Book keeper/Cashier Representative in the U.S/Canada.Barry Textile manufactures and produces assorted fabrics and traditional costumes.The products are widely distributed in Europe,Asia,Africa and America.Your resume is welcome. For more information as regards the job offer please contact me @ Email: gib.barrytextilellc@yahoo.com

Very RespectfullyBarry's Texttile LLC
gib.barrytextilellc@yahoo.com}

I'm pretty sure Barry and Zarrate are one in the same. I decided to google the "Barry Textile LLC" and found this message board. I was dumb enough to send a copy of my resume before I became spooked. I can't believe they wanted me to print the checks that would have been causing all this trouble. This is a lot of energy to scam people. The could have used it for a legitimate business. Losers!

The story continues...
He sent me an email that reads:
                    Hello
                    Below is my info
                    Barry J Johnson
                    144 Copperskill Road
                    Riverside NJ 08075

                    Cell Phone 609-543-2286

HOWEVER THAT ADDRESS DOES NOT EXIST IN NEW JERSEY 08075. THERE IS AN ADDRESS AS SUCH IN ATLANTA, GEORGIA

I'm receiving emails from this fellow as I type this...
his IP address is:65.55.111.112 in Kansas
He's using the name Peter Kendig (which is NOT his real name, I'm sure) from Corpus Christi, TX...
& he's using the email address: p_kendig09@hotmail.com RIGHT NOW... just got a fraud message from him minutes ago, with the same sort of scam listed above... good luck...hope you bust him.

Barry Johnson is using my company to write fraudulent checks to scam innocent peole out of thousands of dollars. If you have any info regarding his whereabouts please contact me immediatly.
If you receive on of my company checks please report it to your local authorities, and contact me, as we have an open investigation nation wide for this person.
Thank you in advance for you co-operation

NO more in service.

Skype gives you the option to "get a local telephone number."
I looked up Area Code 856 and a list of 856-393-xxxx numbers came up.

Got same number from fellow claiming to buy my truck on CL. Says name is "james michel michel."  Wants to send extra $ for stress and by bank check. Is reported heavily on scam.com under different names including Tuan Phan. Says is from, NY or RI, or IA or etc.

I listed a ring on CL and got a few responses from a "Barry Johnson".  His grammar was terrible, and his message was cryptic.  He said he wanted to buy the ring for a friend, but then he got in an accident, and needed someone to arrange the purchase for him.  He wanted me to use Echeck and told me he'd pay me $50 extra for my troubles.  I said I wasn't comforable with Echeck, and told him my lawyer would hold the cashier's check in escrow until I mailed the ring.  He said at that point a certified check was the best he could do.  I suspect he'd cancel the check after it had been sent.  He gave me this number 856-393-4528, and said to call him, but I didn't bother.  I THINK THIS IS A SCAM, especially after reading the other emails from people who posted about the same phone number.  It sounds like he/she changes their email address frequently...don't trust this Barry character.

i got this this morning from as you can see berry it is word for word like yours dose he use a form letter...lol.... what got my attention is the word cheque....that is only used by no Americans and all so the USPS postal service....lol.. we call it mail or ups... not by all the letters....lol.... darn i was hoping to sell this truck ...lol.. i searched him on fb and he was not there i was hopeful.....:"))))

I was just recently scammed by this so called Barry Johnson. I got a check in the mail from him that was supposed to be for the purchase of my fish tank I was selling on Craigs list. It was a fraudulant check drawn off of a shipping Companies account. When I called the company they advised me the check is a fraud. If it helps you ant the envelope the check came in was postmarked from Birmingham Alabama with a 350 code after it. I hope this is a little help to you. You can contact me on my email if you would like.
