eBay, Craig’s List Users Targeted in New Scam

I’m renting a house on Craigslist right now. Last week, I recieved an inquiry about the house, from a guy in England. He asked for my address, so he could mailed me the money for the deposit and rent. I don’t know this person, we hadn’t done a background check on him and he just wanted to rent the house, sight unseen. I was very suspicious and refused to have anymore contact with him. I think, if people would just use a little more common sense and not be so greedy, fewer people would be scanned.

I received a check last week from England. I read it to see what it was about not knowing of the check scam thing. It said that I won the lotto and that I had to send a certain amount of money back to them to cover the fees. Well, I knew right off the back it was not real and also the fact that it was sent to my P.O. Box was another alert. Also, knowing that I never entered a lotto drawing. There was a phone number, so I tried to call and it gave a message one day and the next day it just rung over and over.

Excellent piece on scams that are part of a big picture in America-rampant fraud perpetrated on the innocent. We see this mess everywhere from phony builders(mainly swimming pool guys), to phoney jobs that promise higher than normal pay government jobs, to unbelievable great internet jobs. Man someone needs to step up-say the Justice Dept. would do nicely.

I was dealing with a lady named Elizabeth, from London, since September 19th. She wanted to send us money to rent an apartment and we were to send the remaining balance to her travel agent. She told us that she was an heiress !! We finally stopped emailing on September 29th when we informed her that we could not assist her with her needs. THANK GOD!!

Be suspicious. And yes have a little common sense. I JUST got this email last week in response to my posting on craigslist. If something like this doesn’t raise your suspicions I don’t know what would.
“Hello Kim,
Thanks for your reply.I intend to move to the states in soonest.I am willing to pay you the rental fee along with the utilities.. Well i’ll need your favour on something which would also serve as my means of payment. My Boss owes me some funds and i told him that i’ve secured a room ,he agreed to pay up and said he’ll inform his partner in Canada to send a Us certified check to you.Send me your full names, address and phone number to send the payment get across to you. Once you receive it, kindly take them to your bank & have them cashed. From this you can deduct the total amount for the room & in due course of time i will forward to you my name & address to have some of the balance sent back to me. With this i will be able to buy my ticket & pay for freight fee that will be bringing my things over. The remaining i will pick up when i arrive. I wont be bringing much over as i intend to buy most afresh there. But my PC will be coming with me surely & other personal belongings.Thank you so very much for understanding.
i hope to hear from you soon.
Yours with all sincerity
Juliet Harrison”
Pu-leese. I let “her” know real quick that I’d have to be an idiot to do something like that

I’ve had a similar encounter on Craig’s list but luckily red flags went up and I avoided becoming a victim. The old addage is true : you don’t get something for nothing. These are all people thinking they’re getting free money and they get taken. If you’re doing business online you have to be aware of the liars and cheats and the ways they do business. I agree banks should be better able to detect a fake money order or check or put some sort of protectin in place for consumers. Lord knows they make sure they are protected. Basic rule: Protect yourself. No one else will!

The same thing happened to me as Jill’s. I received a check in the mail stating that I won $40,000 and encloseed was a check for $4000. To claim the $40,000, I had to send wire $4000 to Montereal. I deposited the check in the bank and waited for it to clear. A week later, I contacted the bank and they told me it is cleared, so I went and cashed the money and wire it to Montereal. I felt so stupid when the bank called me the next day saying that the check was no good. I had to take a $4000 loan to pay for my stupid mistake. I did this based on the information I received from the bank, otherwise I would have tore the check up. Live and learn.

Who are gullible enough to fall for these scams ? I betcha they are one and the same who voted for GW Bush twice.

I posted a used textbook on the facebook marketplace. A few days later I had an inquiry from a guy in England who wanted me to receive his check for $2500 and then wire the rest of it back to a “shipper” in London. It was a $30 book! I stopped communication with him and when I received the check I took it to the bank. It’s crazy that they even want to scam you over such small purchases.

This scam has been going on for 10-20 years, and just now, the USPS is going to take action. It’s too little, too late.

This is so true. I went around and around with a guy who wanted to purchase my bass guitar from me on Craigslist. He kept asking for more information with each email, but I finally wised up when he mentioned his secretary “accidentally” wrote a check in the thousands, and this for an item that probably wasn’t worth more than $300. Moreover, the check was already “mistakenly” on its way by UPS, and I should just cash it and then he’d tell me what to do next. Sellers beware.

Almost every time the news of gullible Americans are showed on ABC News, the victims are portrayed as smart and innocent. I will beg to differ here, I see these victims as idiots; otherwise, how can person take $21,000 check for a $4,000 business transaction? Not even Walmart can take $21,000 check from a customer like that. The purpose of check writing is to simplify and not to complicate business transaction. Let us ask one of the victims above who is said to be a manager, isn’t it faster for your customer in London to cash his check in England than for him to waite for their check to be mailed to American and then cashed in American and the balance wired back to London? Why can’t the customer write the exact amount on the check? My bank recently charged me $45.00 for international wire transfer and $15 for national transfer, that is a lot of money to pay just to give balance.
Do you guys want us to sympathize with idiots who cash lottery checks when they did not play any lottery. It never ocur to the victims that you have to present a winning lottery ticket you bought at the Gas Station before you can claim your check. The so called victims are as guilty as the scammers because they want free money. Many gullible victims are criminals who want to help oversea criminal to transfer stolen money. Gullibility should not be advertized and anyone who use the Internet or has an email address who by now don’t know about the Internet scams are a moron.

This is nothing new— been going for years. Here is my reply to the latest “hitman” wanting to send me an electronic check for my item on craigslist. And then I notify their email i.e. hotmail of the scammer
Sure please call to set this up
(I insert # of local police- non emergency here)
Ask for Locke Miup who is my financial assistant
Best Regards
Bob

I think that was BOB who posted that comment!!

There is an old saying: “If it seems to good to be true, it probably is.” These are *old* scams that have been around for a while now.

I am yet another victum I knew in my heart a scam desperation and need to save my home pushed me into making the wrong desision. BUT- I would like to warn bank employees to help desperate customers- I asked the teller and the manager of the bank 3 times in person if the money was actually there and he approved the transaction for me- in hind sight he should have seen I was doubtful and needed his compassion and cool intelligence to help me. I was looking for any reason not to do it. They had my number at work and were harrassing me all day to make the transaction.

Last Fall I was selling a snowmobile in the local paper. One night I had a strange phone call from a service that is used for the deaf. Basically the operator speaks to me for a person on a computer. The person said they were interested and asked for an email to set things up. In the email they said they were moving back to the U.K. and needed the snowmobile. They were sending me a check to cash and give the excess to their business associate at a moving company and to keep a little extra for my troubles. Anyways it seemed fishy and too good to be true from the get go.
These people have alot of us pegged as greedy Americans, the sad thing is in some cases they’re right and they play on that knowing if you wave $$ in our face we lose our common sense and go for it. We have to wisen up and try to remember that if it seems too goog to be true, it probably is.

Bob, that is funny! People, it’s simple. If you have the smallest notion that it could be fraud…it is. If you actually fall for something like this, wait unitl it clears the bank and take your time sending the money out…100% gauranteed that it won’t be there to take out. What’s worse is that there is no way to catch these people…that’s why banks need to figure something else out to make sure people are safe from these pigs.

I purchased merchandise on ebay from a couple in NC last September. Sent payment, never received merchandise. Contacted authorities in NC, claimed they were looking into matter. Year later, no merchandise, out of 40.00.

You can wait 30 days, before sending the check back to them. And you’ll find out that it’s a scam. But meanwhile, there’ll be countless more who didn’t wait… They didn’t scam you, but I’m sure they’ll have scamed others.

The common theme I see through all these very interesting posts is that the main problem here is that law enforcement/the FBI do not seem to be able to do anything about this until it is too late.
These fraudsters should be nailed for wire fraud with 5 years in jail immediately … Get enough in jail and this problem will stop.

I was selling a used car about 3 months ago for $5,000 (Craigslist) and I received an e-mail from a person with very poor English. He told me that he was very interested in the car and would send me $8,000, $5,000 for the car and $3,00 for shipping fees. I told him, for $3,000, I would deliver the car myself. Never heard from him again.
I called the police and the bank before I did anything and they told me it probably was a scam. I also called the Attorney General’s office but I never heard back from them.
People shouldn’t be so dumb, they should realize that no one is giving money away. If they are, you’ve got to know that something is wrong.

There are alot of trusting people and they should be more careful. There are also alot of criminals who take advantage of these people.

buyer and / or seller BEWARE….always!

This sort of thing happened to me and my husband. We put our washer and dryer on ebay to sell and we received an offer from a guy who claimed to live overseas. He was supposedly in some sort of business and he fooled us into thinking it was real. Our price for the washer and dryer was $1000.00 but he sent a check for a little over $3000.00. My husband put it in the bank and sure enough a week later, we were $3000 in the hole. What’s really bad is that we have a baby and together we don’t make a fortune. Luckily, we were able to fix the problem but our baby could’ve been without food. Please be careful when you list things to sell. You can easily be scammed without knowing it.

I am victim of this scam by default. The only way my information got to the individuals was I was applying for a job that you can do from home and I thought is was a real opportunity. I went on vacation for a week and I do not have internet service at home I received the checks not having any idea it related to the email scam about a job I go to the bank to deposit after being on vacation the checks about a week later the Bank tells me the checks were no good and ask me how did I receive the checks?I told them. That’s when they told me I was probably scam so investigated this and come to find out I was scam and I also explain to Bank to what happen, now the Bank is after me for the money and decided to press charges when I am the victim.

So often I receive emails saying I’ve won some European lottery. My email address was the lucky one. Right. I also have been receiving job offers – I have to send all of my personal information to someone overseas…sure, I’ll get right on that. Despite best efforts to inform the public that these things are scams, people still believe they are real. I seriously doubt it has anything to do with how you voted in the last presidential election – but this is a serious problem creating a mountain of financial woes to unsuspecting individuals. If someone continues to receive these types of emails – is there somewhere to report them or just keep deleting? It would be nice to have these people caught – although I’m sure they operate in and out of so many places that may not be possible.

In all due respect, and I mean this with the greatest kindness….How stupid do you have to be to be duped by someone with such an obvious scam. I’d love to blame the American educational system, but it seems common sense is what is lacking here. Stunning!

I just want to say that it’s not the fincial institution’s fault that people are idiots and think that they would actually call someone and verify their account info!!! WRONG!! Why would a place want to verify info when they should already have it on file?!?!?!? And people have no clue what they are talking about when they call a Federal Regulation a “flawed rule”. There are certain days that checks are allowed to be available, but some institutions don’t go by that… they put certain checks on hold for longer and will only give so much to the person who is depositing the check.
Also people who think that they have won the lottery or some BS like that are totally DUMB!!! If you know beyond a shadow of doubt that you have not entered a lottery, don’t cash in the funds. And if you received mail with papers looking like a check, make sure you study it because somewhere on the “check” it will say… “THIS IS NOT A CHECK”. That’s happened to some people, they have taken an Ed McMann check to a financial institution and deposited the “check” and of course it came back fake!!!!

sounds more like you were scamming the bank. Why would anyone in their right mind deposit checks from whence you know not where they come from, nor why? You seem contradictory in your knowlege of how these checks came to you – if you didn’t earn anything from a home job – how could you come to the conclusion they were valid?

Along with some of the sensible comment here – please also review this:
DO NOT provide home addresses when asked for them – it’s advisable not to provide land-line numbers either.
Many of these scammers are looking for home addresses to further pursue illegal opportunities and they also could have people in place to surveyl your home – watch when you leave – then rob you blind; including any vehicles or other large big ticket items.
They could be emailing you from across the street with ‘blind’ mirror sites in place, indicating they’re from anywhere on the planet.
BE SMART – with all the advanced technology at everyone’s fingertipe it can be challenging – but no technology replaces solid common sense and a little suspicion.

It’s sad people resort to this, but even more sad people are just not aware of it. Anyone who does business online should be required to take a crash course in scams. If the deal sounds too good to be true, it probably is.. and LOOK FOR HORRIBLE ENGLISH.. every single scam I’ve gotten is in horrible english. Nigerians run these out of internet cafe’s, but I’ve even had some run out of the USA. They will also always send you these checks via UPS/Fedex/DHL because if they sent it via USPS they’d have the feds crawling up their rear end.

I have never heard that banks have to have a certain amount available to customers after a deposit. I know my bank Wamu puts holds on plenty of checks. Sometimes the holds are a week, ten days, one time a friend (who had an overseas check) was told the hold was 4-6 weeks! (Her check was legit btw.) If banks can (and regularly) put holds on suspicious checks or checks over X amount to verify the funds, then they should and not put innocent depositers at risk.

Craigslist is home to dozens of other scams as well. One in particular which irks me are the myriad of ‘phony’ employment postings designed solely to harvest your resume and personal information. God only knows what they do with it once they get their hands on it, like sending it over to Nigeria or something. I can only imagine the incredible volume of identity theft cases that must arise from this very simple and easy act of ‘information harvesting of trusting suckers’.
PLEASE for God’s sake people, NEVER EVER post or send your resume to a ‘mystery employer’ on Craigslist, meaning one that you can’t verify, or you could be in for a world of hurt. I really wish Brian Ross’ investigative team would look into these type scams as well.

Last week, I received 5 emails from Lottery scams to inheritance, etc. I replied telling them that I had turned them into the FBI and Interpol and the emails have stopped. I was getting around 5 or 6 per day. Last summer, one party went so far as to send me a phony check and I tried to turn it over to the Sherrif’s dept., post office, FBI, etc. Everyone said that there is nothing that can be done. Is this fair to victims?

It seems that the people who get scammed most often are the same people who will never ask questions about things they don’t understand. Maybe it’s a fear of looking stupid. People don’t mind being stupid, they just don’t want to look stupid. Even the most intelligent people out there don’t know everything about everything.

OMG- this is EXACTLY what is happening to me right now – got contacted by a guy posing as a Doctor in London looking to rent an aprt from himself and his wife and 9 year old daughter… he said he’s out here int he US working on a private research study for the environmental agency and is willing to sign a year lease, blah blah blah and has no problems sending me 6 months in advance for rent. I plan on ceasing all cnotact as of tonight. Thanks for this everyone!

Hi Everyone, there is one thing that is bothering me here,as I read through all the stories. Yes,some people might be a bit stubid but they rely on there bank to help them. When they deposit the check/checks and wait a week or two. And the bank tells them that it has cleared. And then to find out after the fact that it didn’t. Then why should it be the customer who suffers here.For goodness sakes if the bank tells you the check is clear and its not then its the banks fault not the customers. And the bank should take the loss not the customer for their mistake saying it cleared in the 1st place. But then again if I would ever get something like that and had any doughts on it, I would put it into a new account not my own and sit on it as long as I could. If you can’t trust your bank, then who do you trust????????

I need to correct my last statement, I agree with JodyA. I just realized the names were below the comments :o)

Simple solution for sellers on craig’s list: make it clear that you will not accept personal checks and that you require payment by money order or (if the buyer is local) cash. Money orders are equivalent to cash, so when you receive one, you can take it to Western Union or the posts office or wherever it was purchased and cash it in. If it’s phony, you’ll find out right away.

Great Scott, people. Anything that comes in via US Postal Service that is suspected fraud, contact your Postmaster, and the BBB…its a federal violation.
When receiving payment for, or paying for anything, use US Postal Money Orders–it protects both parties–or its FRAUD.

The Nigerian scam, where some Nigerian government official was the email sender is a funny one.
Some military or business person starts off with him not being able to secure a US bank account. Then say they want me to use my bank account to deposit huge sums of money, most in the millions to tens of million range. Once the check clears they want you to send back the rest of the money, and I am supposed to take a cut of anywhere from 25%-50% of the original total. OOOOOOOKKKKKKKKKAAAYYYYY

Once again, I am just amazed how many people do not use commen sense now of these days. Their greed just make them not use their heads and get easily dup.
I always follow the rule, “If it sounds too good to be true, it isn’t.” Who would send a check way over the amount of the item on sell? A real legimate buyer would send for the value of the item. Period.
Like I’ve been told not to bother give money to someone who calls me on the phone for fundraising police and fire events. The real police and fire departments do not ever raise money over the phone. I hang up on anyone who calls me and say they are raising money for the police and/or fire departments.
It’s sad that some people just do not want to use their heads when it comes to these scams. No wonder so many people are so easily dup.

SOPHISTICATED craig’s list auto scam – i might have been a victim, but for a craig’s list warning. a father-son team approached to buy the car. they dragged us through the process for two weeks, negotiating us down, demanding an inspection. they had agreed to cash as required in the ad. they then said they needed to pay with a certified check from a credit union (military) in texas. i said, no car till check clears. they waited until 2pm friday (the time the bank and hte fed close) to come buy and tried to bully me into handing over the car. my bank would have cashed the check (which was fake). and since it was “certified,” they woulde have taken the money back from my account some time after the car and cons had disappeared. thanks craig’s list! even the car sites were still saying demand a certified check or cash. when a certified check is the most dangerous of call since you are not actually protected. BTW – there was no nigerian or other foreign element involved. the team came to see us about the car 2x, test drove and called and faxed over info over a period of days.

There is a new one, at least of my knowledge. I got an e-mail from a person claiming that he worked at the IRS and that he needed me to click the link included in the e-mail. It was suppose to be the IRS web page. The e-mail also included the instructions to follow, “write your full name, address and DOB”, “we reviewed your tax forms and found that you are owed a tax return”.
Well, the funny thing is that people from Puerto Rico do not fill out Federal Taxes, unless the Federal Government is the employer, and those are only a few here.
So beware, as I read in all these comments, easy money usually is a fake. Everything that is “to good to be truth”, IS.

After posting an ad for a small tractor I had for sale in Craig’s List for Albuquerque, I received the following reply this morning (reply shown below). A seller would have to be a fool, or tremendously greedy, to allow themself to believe that someone would want to pay shipping to the U.K. on a 2800 pound tractor. I did not respond to this misguided fellow and also warned my friends of this obvious scam.
Be careful out there. Having seen these scams before, these scammers are becoming fairly sophisticated and, unlike this one, are even learning proper English grammar. They need to know that not all Americans who have tractors are uneducated dimwits as Hollywood would have them believe.

My boyfriend posted an ad to sell his snowmobile and got a response from a guy in Canada. The guy said that he would send him a check for $3,800, twice the amount that he was asking. My boyfriend was told to desposite the check and take half of the money out to give to this guy’s friend who would be coming up through the states to pick up the snowmobile. The guy was very, very polite and had very poor english writing skills. When he recieved the check, the number value was correct, but the amount written out was three hundred eighty thousand dollars. it was supposed to be three thousand eight hundred dollars. My boyfriend was suspicious, so he brought the check to the bank to see if it was real or not. The bank told him that it was probably fake and that he would be out money if he went through with the deposite and the check turned out to be fake. My boyfriend then called the bank that was listed on the cashier’s check and gave them the information. That bank said that they had stopped giving out cashier’s checks 4 years ago. He then called the police and gave them the emails he had recieved from the guy as well as the check. My boyfriend recieved an outraged email from the scammer–he wanted to know why he hadn’t deposited and sent the money to him! My boyfriend confronted him and then the guy called him crazy. That was the end of it. BE CAREFUL!

ALWAYS take their check. Obviously, it’s a scam, but if you take their check and pretend to go through with the whole thing, you waste their time, their money (whatever it costs to get the check made, plus postage) and hopefully keep them away from someone who’s not as savvy as you. Scam the scammers, it’s the only way to win.

Why am I glad that in Australia barely anyone takes cheques anymore. It’s so much easier to use cash or cards.
Hell if you deposit a cheque into your bank account here they won’t show that the funds from it are in your account until 7 days after you deposit it, just to be sure that it is genuine.

I had same happen to me with a letter n check sayin i won something thro a electric company. I called the electric company put the check into bank and waited to see if it cleared. When I called the company back I cussed the lady really good and when I tried calling few days later they had my number blocked. I told them I had reported them to BBB and also put it in newpapers across the state. Never got nothing else.

HI I RECENTLY RECEIVED A JOB OFFER FOR A MYSTERY SHOPPER VIA A LETTER AND ALONG WITH IT WAS A CHECK TO SHOP AT CERTAIN LOCATIONS AND EVALUATE THE SALES REP THAT TOOK CARE OF ME. I DEPOSITED THE CHECK IN MY ACCOUNT AND WAS CERTAIN THE CHECK WOULD BE HELD AT LEAST 5 DAYS BUT I WAS TOLD THE FUNDS WOULD BE AVAILABLE IN 2 DAYS. I WITHDREW THE MONEY IN 2 DAYS AND PERFORMED THE DUTIES AT THE BUSINESSES I WAS TOLD TO, MADE PURCHASES AS I WAS TOLD, AND IN 2 DAYS MY BANK CALLS ME TO TELL ME THE CHECK I DEPOSITED WAS COUNTERFEIT. NOW I THOUGHT MY BANK HAD A DUTY TO MAKE SURE THE FUNDS FROM THE BANK ON THIS CHECK I RECEIVED WERE AVAILABLE. NOW THEY HAVE CLOSED MY BANK ACCOUNT AND I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAYING THE MONEY I WITHDREW???

Interesting; when dealing with transactions with Craigslist, I rather talk to the person and set up a meeting place in the city or something. I know some people are easily mislead but honestly, if someone is interested buying your product, why would they immediately send you a check and you, as the seller, didn’t discuss certain payment options? It just sounds so crazy to me that these people or scammers would send you a check with consulting with you first about the product or payment options. It’s a scary world. Very sad too. It makes me feel that I can’t rely on Craigslist for affordable products anymore because of these crazy scammers.

I recieved a Cashier’s Check from a PNC bank in Philadelphia yesterday morning it was from a mystery shopper sweetstakes, so I went to the bank and asked the lady if it was a real check the lady sat me down like if I was going to open up a bank account and spoke to me and called PNC Bank and she told me that the check came out to be a Fraud so she took it and coped it and sent it to her branches of Banks, She also told me to just send it back to them or sherred it, But if u go another bank, they might just deposit it. So now im sitting here with the Cashier’s check from PNC bank, The lady also told me dont worry about it your not the first guy that came in here with a check like that. So she told me by best options were to rip it up shred it or mail it back.

Just wanted to say that my boyfriend received a nice check for $25K a couple of months ago. The instructions were to cash the check, and wire a portion of the money to an address. However, “common sense” no one gives anything for free, so we decided to look into it. We called the company who was assigned as issuing the check and low and behold, their accounting dept informed us that this was indeed fraud and somehow someone had attained their business info and slapped it on a fake check. The most intriguing part of it all was how these scam artists attained my boyfriends full name and home address. He recalled having submitted his resume during a job search and received a phone call from someone that did not identify the company he was calling from to verify his personal info. He has done job searches in Craigslist, Monster, and Hot Jobs. So something simple as a job search can turn into an ugly situation. Double check anything that has to do with money before cashing or depositing anything into your accounts. BE CAUTIOUS PEOPLE!

I just posted a couch on craigslist and got a reply that sent off redflags. I googled the first paragraph and stumbled upon this article.
