Type of a scam Fake Check/Money Order
I put an add on Craig’s list to sell a leather chair for $250.00 and got an email in one day from a Collins Bane saying he wanted to buy the chair. He said he was in London on business and would have his assistant send me a check for the chair. Then he said his assistant overpaid on the check and when I got it, would I send him the overage and he trusted I would do this. Four days later I received two money gram money orders in the mail, each for $999.00. They were drawn on a bogus bank with a fake routing number. I also got an email from a fake moving company saying they had been instructed to pick up the chair. I also received a few phone calls from a very angry person with a thick accent, I could not understand anything he said. I knew this was a scam pretty early on and I am not out anything but it still disturbs me that people do these things.
