I created this blog site to expose the scam artists, crooks, and their tactics that prey on honest hard working people on craigslist. I encourage you to share your stories and experiences with other people so that we may better serve the craigslist community, by making it a safer place.
I received this email, and I also received an overnight check they wanted me to cash. I have informed the authorities so hopefully nobody will be scammed.
I have been dealing with the same individual(s). Here is the ongoing commentary. It has been reported to the FBI but it does not seem like much can be done. Here is the language they use. Falsified check is from Cappadonna INC Temecula , CA, Advanstar Communications, INC, Wells Fargo Bank
