Type of a scam Fake Check/Money Order

I was selling a table and chairs on Craigslist and received an email from a Roselyn Taylor with a strange email address. The message just said "Still Available, Regards, Connie". I would have included the email address but it was a bunch on letters and numbers. I responded that I was at work but we could chat later. We exchanged phone numbers and texted back and forth. I talked to him on the phone and he said he wanted to use a cashiers check and a mover would pick up the table. I should have realized this was suspicious but gave him my name anyway. He also said he’d pay an extra $** to hold the table. Once I realized this was a scam, I told him I wanted to keep the table and he got angry on the texts. I’m mad at myself for giving out my name and address, but I’m glad I backed out. DON’T FALL FOR THIS!! NEVER TAKE A CASHIERS CHECK! I hadn’t used Craigslist so I was somewhat naive.

He used the names Roselyn Taylor and Connie in the emails to me and Jimmie Montgomery on the texts. He had a very thick accent and didn’t sound like a Jimmie.

I’ve attached a sample of the text he sent me.

Type of a scam Fake Check/Money Order

This person contacted me in care.com asked for a personal email I didn’t put much attention to it since I use that email account strictly for work. He had told me he had a 2 year old kid named Christine whom recently had knee surgery and she couldn’t walk. This case touched my heart since I work with kids with disabilities.

He told me his family was moving to my area and they were looking for someone to take take of the baby. He also mentioned having a deaf wife. He told me that he would pay me $25 dollars an hour for caring for his daughter and of course me trying to save money for college, that sounded wonderful! He asked for my address and saying he would send me a check to secure me for the position and also buy a wheelchair for the toddler. I still didn’t make anything of it. Until yesterday when I started looking up the email and phone number provided. He had scammed at least 20 people with the same technique. Today I received a fake check that he is expecting me to deposit in my atm and asked for me to send him a picture of the invoice. Please be aware!
