How to Spot a Scam

Sunday, August 24, 2008

Lauretta Coronado, Scott McClintock, and Philip Gate the same person?

For the past week yours truly has been doing some investigative work, and have come to a startling conclusion. Laureta Coronado, Scott Mclintock, and Philip Gate are originiating from the same IP address and phone number. Which leads to the conclusion that they are one in the same. The volunteer staff here at CL Scambuster did a trace on the phone number provided by the scam artists, and the number leads back to a single phone in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.

Again it appears that a single person or group of people from the same IP address and phone number in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic are sending scam emails using the names Lauretta Coronado, Lauretta Colorado, Lauretta Colonado, Scott McClintock, Philip Gates, and Gabrielle Cole.

Hopefully we are now one step closer to busting up this scam ring.

You can add handersonray6@gmail.com to your list effective 8/24/08. How does this scam work? Do they actually pick up the item?

I got one from Lauretta Colorado. Email: macaveli200@gmail.com

I advised "Lauretta" that I'd be cashing the certified check before meeting her mover. I never heard back.

Here's an exchange between me and Lauretta:

You've been identified as a craigslist scam artisit. How unfortunate for you to share the same name as a known scammer. When can I expect the certified check to arrive?
