John Cole is now trying to scam flooring companies, asking for hard wood and what credit cards are accepted, replied only a cashiers check would be accepted, never emailed back.
Be Ware he will scam you.

Now he's trying a different route buying furniture. Same story...his exact words...

"...due to the nature of my job and location...i will not be able to come for inspection,am a very busy type as i work long hours everyday,i have gone through your advertisement and i am satisfied with the items.Though I'll be using the services of
a mover who will comes for the pick up of the item on my behalf because nature of my job will not permit me to come down, but I will send a Check through my Bank to cover the cost of the item. The check will be delivered to you by a reliable courier company within 2-3working days. Please do provide me with these.
1) what is the condition?
2) Are you the first Owner?
3) your best price of selling?
4) The Name that should be on check?
5) full home address?
6) finally a cell phone ?"

I gave him the info requested full home address ONLY because it could be found off my email address and phone number that were already made available through the Utah-based website. I requested a call to work out the details. Said it is because I'm cautious about online sales anyway, which I am.

Since I hadn't heard back in a couple of days, I figured I'd search. I found this.

Next time, I'll search first!

If you've posted a vehicle on sale on cars.com or autotrader and someone texts you requesting you to email them pictures, DO NOT. These are all spam. Ignore it

We are currently selling a car on various sites (autocatch.com - used123.com - etc.) and have been receiving a telephone call as well as emails from JOHN COLE <johncole010@gmail.com> who pretended being offshore and not being in a position to come see the car.  'John' wanted to send a courier to pick up the car, never negotiated the price, had never seen the car since no pictures were posted with our add.  'John' sent several emails trying to persuade us to complete the transaction quickly via Paypal.  When we refused, he insisted by saying our secure Paypal was, that the money would be in our account before he takes possession of the car.  He even sent us a link: www.paypal.com.ca to click on, asked for our address and our Paypal information.
We wrote to him strongly suggesting that he never contacts us again.  He never did.
His telephone number is 646-503-6894
