Same thing...trackyoursnow@googlemail.comJohn AlanThanks for getting back to me, I appreciate it and just so you know; I'm okay with the condition, the price and I'm ready for the purchase plus I'm willing to add an extra $20 so as to have it reserved in my favor. My form of payment will be by Check and it will be send via UPS 1-2days delivery. I'll be responsible for the pick-up besides the movers/pick up money will be included with your payment so as to avoid delay and to enable movers to schedule an appropriate time for the pick-up at your location after the check is been cashed as I have other properties to be moved alongside yours. I would have really loved to come for the inspection but due to my work frame it just won't fit in my schedule but more pictures will be deeply appreciated. Kindly get back to me with your full name, address, so as to make out the payment to you ASAP, and your cell and land line (I’ll call you as soon as I can). Many thanks John Sent from my HTC on the Now Network from Sprint!

Got the exact same messages from Maria today... I wish we could set these people up and take them down!

I also received an email from "Janet"! Saying the exact same thing as posted before. I actually received the check and was really suspicious when it was for over 2,000 and asked me to wire money somewhere. I'm so glad I googled it - saved me from a scam. Her second email after I received the check is below. One of the most suspicious things was the check was signed by a Paul Thors (or something close) not Janet and they wanted me to send the money to Glenn in FL. I was going to bring the email to my bank and ask them look at it but these posts explained it all. I plan on shredding the check. "Janet's" second email:Hello,Thanks for the honesty towards this transaction so far.Well, The overpayment is meant to cover the cost of shipment for the itemalongside my other properties including tax and insurance plus the movers fee, As i am moving to a new house.All you have to do now is to take the check to your bank, Have it deposited and it would be cleared after a period of 24hours. After this period, kindly go to your bank, Withdraw the money after you must have deducted the item cost and an extra $50 which am given to you for your run around on sending the money to my mover via money gram. Here's the movers information below.Name: Glenn TartAddress : 113 S LAKE DRCity......LantanaStates........

Your Honesty and transparency will be appreciated .Let me know when it has been deposited pleaseThanks for your patience and understanding

I received pretty much the same bizarre Craigslist request. They fed exed me a check for $1,650 too much and wanted me to get a money gram and mail it to Alicia Tanksley (the movers). They told me to keep an extra $20 to hold the purchase for them and an extra $40 for the hassle of getting the money gram. I knew it seemed very sketchy- so I googled Alicia Tanksley and it led me to this page. I read your letters and cannot believe how some of them were almost identical to mine. I then called the bank the check was coming from and they told me it is a fraud!!! This was my very first time to try to sell something on Craigslist. Unbelievable!!!

I just got an email from Janet Cole @janetisscole@wikizplc.com .....hmmmmm changed her name from Eva Knight? Golly, to think there are folks who wouldn't check this out..Yikes!

Got this one from Randy chamberlain:"Good day, how are you doing today,im very interested in the item and i hope itis in good condition .i would have loved to monitor the purchasepersonally but am a military presently on a mission ,i hope youunderstand and i will not be able to receive calls as this is againstthe ethics of my present mission.Due to the distance i will like to make an instant purchase but ifthere anything wrong, you can kindly let me know and we can fix thingsup. I don't mindpaying additional $50 for it in order for you to take the ad downfrom craigslist andalso to be assured that it is already mine.I will be paying you with a certified check and it is going to be sentto you via courier servicewhich is going to be mail to you as soon as possibleFor the payment, I'm going to need your details as follow**Full name to be on the payment**Your home or office address which the payment will be delivered to**And your phone number in order to facilitate the payment asap.My mover will be coming for the pick up as soon as you have the checkcashed, so youdon't need to bother your self about the shipping as everything onthat is well arranged.Thanks and I'm waiting to hear from you"I'm not quite sure how he's planning to rip people off with this one, but it's just shady. Tempted to mess with him since I know it's a scam, but then again, I don't want anything to do with crazy people like this. Just gong to report it to the FTC - which apparently, based on this site, doesn't do much, huh?Such a shame that there are trusting people out there that get duped by jerks like this. Eventually we'll all just become a society of jaded and suspicious individuals who have been taken too many times. Thanks, Randy, Eva, and all you other as@%&*$#!

First time I've seen this particular scam/phishing. Received in response to my Craigslist ad.Same message as Jeff posted above, only mine came from Anddy Moore at moreformoney6767@gmail.com.

I also want to express my extreme gratitude for this site!!!!! I was two seconds away from hitting the "send" button. The name has changed to Janet Cole, but the text is exactly the same. I recognized some inconsistencies right away, such as "I am ready to purchase" and then, later on, "send more pictures". I didn't get the phone call, just the email.I will tell wikizplc that it's already sold. Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!

same number, same response, word for word to my craigslist ad

The creep is still in business as of July 2011. Same message and same info...wanted my telephone number...lazy piece of crap..you would think he would write a new message instead of cut/paste. Thank God I have a PO Box and told him to send the check their as a cash note. Never responded.
