4/7/13 \"She\" was offering way more for some shoes I was selling on Craigslist with a very confusing story of collecting them.
Foolishly I had supplied my address & phone to the initial believable email and even said I would be out of town for two weeks shortly -doh!
Follow Ups/Extra Information. Most recent is listed first.
I received this email response after he replied to my posting on Craigslist. When I received the "check" via UPS it was for $1,700... not for the $45 I was asking for the item. He requested that I deposit the check into my account then forward the "remaining" portion of the money via moneygram to the guy who would be picking up the item. I immedately searched the web and saw this was a scam and also called the Colorado National Bank to comfirm that the check was fake. The assistant branch manager informed me that it was not a real check and that they have recieved similar calls. Any check "issued" by the Colorado National Bank that dualy lists Banker's Bank of the West on the check is a scam. The ploy is that you deposit the "check" into your account and then immediately forward the remaining money to the recipient. Since it's not a real check, no money will be deposited, so you are transfering your own money to the recipient (while also potentally disclosing your personal banking information). These are the emails I got from him:
How are you doing....Well let's do like this, actually now I'm not in town for now, I came to visit my Family so i wont be able to meet with you but am okay with the price as seen on the advert, I'll proceed in issuing a Certified Check out to you and when you received the check , I will make arrangement for pick-up. So get back to me with below details asap.
Full Name : Address: City : State : Postal Code : Cell Phone Number : Your asking price:
And as soon as this is provided, the payment will mail out via Usps Priority mail or Fedex to you and i will let you know when its mailed out. I need you to be honest with the sale as I am a God fearing person and also i want you to consider the item sold to me,kindly remove the advert from the site because am highly interested in it okay.Awaiting
details from you now.
