Victim Location 37763
Type of a scam Fake Check/Money Order
I was selling a dresser on the "let go" site for $250 and was contacted by someone saying they wanted it but were moving out of state. They wanted to send a larger check than what the item was listed for and have me pay the movers with the extra amount of the check after cashing it. I became suspicious and told them the item was no longer available. That was on Monday, April 27th. Today (Wednesday, April 29th) I received a check for $2,100, which I will not be cashing/depositing. I called the bank on the check and they confirmed it was fraudulent, so I would have been liable for the $2,100 plus lost the furniture.
