Posted an ad on craigslist for some appliances.  "Troy Billard" responded from this number advising he was hearing impaired, but wanted to purchase the items and would send a check in the mail and would have his shipping company (Nathaniel Pope) pick it up.  Wanted additional information.  I questioned why someone from half way across the country would want to purchase used appliances and pay to have them shipped.  Searched the Internet and as I suspected...  It's a Scam!!!

As soon as I placed my ad for couch/loveseat, Tracy Billard text say that she was hearing impaired. Said she would buy the couch and mail a cashier check. Text 1 wk later asking if I had received the check and want me to send money $1550  couch was $400, to Ca  for the shipper? Text back said no and said she was in intensive care. Asked me to please forward money to Ca. Was not making any sense at all. Looked up this number and found this. Please do not fall for there pranks.

I keep getting text from Troy Billard and Tracy Billard@live.com wanting to buy a computer armoire.  Say they mailed a check, but it was a fake check.  It is a scam if you get a text from either of these people.  The phone number is 3148281113 and 3148282583.

I keep on getting text messages from this number claiming to be interested in buying a computer that I have for sale. The caller also claims to be someone else in the last text which means that he or she has made other prank calls
