Looks like Peter Power (ppower14@gmail.com) and Chris Marcus (chrismarcus11@gmail.com) can be added to the list.

Hello,
Thanks for the prompt response and i will like you to withdraw the advert from Craigslist,i dont mind adding an extra $20dolls for you to take the advert down from criagslist so that i can be rest assured that am in hand of the item.I dont have time to come take a look. I will be paying via cashier's check.
However,shipping and other expenses involved would be our responsibility..So i will need you to provide me with the following information to facilitate the mailing of the check.
1.Your full name
2.Your mailing address be it residential or postal address
3.Your phonenumber.
i will have my mover come over as soon as you have the check
Have a great day .

Chris

I received the same identical email from "Chris Marcus" on my posting. No one should accept cashiers checks or money orders. There are too many stolen ones out there... Here's what I received:

Add "Daley Martins" to the list.


That's great, thank you for getting back to me. Though I'll be using
the services of a mover who will come for the pick up of the item on
my behalf all because I'm currently away for a contracting Job but I
will send a Check through my Bank to cover the cost of the items. The
check will be delivered to you by a reliable courier company within
2-3 working days. Please do provide me with your full mailing address,
and also indicate your final price, the Name that should be on check
and finally a cell phone #. Kindly delete the posting because am
serious in buying it, when the funds clears then we can arrange for
the pick up asap.
Regards,
Daley

I have an email address name of williamstvv@gmail.com. He sent me a check for $1850 to buy a china buffet I had listed on ebay for $675. He didnt want to use the Pay Now, Instead he wanted me to end the item and he would just send me the check. He wanted me to send the excess money to a different name in California that was supposadly suppose to be the person that was going to pick up the item at my house, I waited a week for the check to clear, finally I took the copy of the check to my bank today and they called the bank from this account, they said it was an account but not an account where you could write checks from. So it would have been easy for and older person or someone very gullible to get taken. The Checking Account was from "Wagner Oil Company. Fort Worth Texas" BEWARE Of this scam. Dont get taken like I almost did.
