They need to change the name to Spammerscammerslist.
Because that's all that seems to be on it...

Craig I hope you burn in hell..
It is not the fault of Craig's List, it is the scammers have bait that still catches the people on the Internet that are not ready to be on it yet. If Craigs had never been, these scammers would be using the next available trading list or want ads online so it would not matter.

Then turn it all over to the recommended parties.

If you're not already doing so, I'd keep copies of all the paperwork and correspondences you've had with him as well.

Chances are high. There was a thread here early last year in regards to a horse stable (???I think) that even had the owner of the stable posting here talking about how all the info on the check was legit.
Yes, the OP should read the entire thread here:

So what are the odds that the account numbers on the check are the real numbers for the company? The bank and Trading company are both in Chicago.
98% chance that the account number is 100% correct!

This is why you do not want to deposit the fake check.

said by MGD:
However, there is potential harm in depositing it. . If. When it turns out to be fraudulent you may need to be eliminated as a suspect or participant in the scam. That may not be a pleasant experience.

You deposit the check, you will be told to wire the scammer the "clearing fees". The amount will be removed from your account immediately, your deposit check will bounce a week later. The scammer will have $2,700 of your money in hand and you will be -$2,700. Worst case scenario in addition to your loss you may get a visit from the FBI who may want to charge you with knowingly passing fraudulent checks, a felony.


Contact the company and offer to fax or photocopy the letter and check to them if they are interested. You can tell the scammer that it bounced after 5 to 8 days if you wish as they have no way to check and no way to know you did not deposit it. ;)

Checks are very easy to print. You can get any info you want on them. MICR included. They even print their own.

I would contact the company that allegedly issued the check. If that doesn't work, I would contact the security department of the bank on which the check is drawn.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Played-Along-With-Craigs-List-21697830 Wed, 07 Jan 2009 16:08:44 EDT Played Along With Craigs List http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Played-Along-With-Craigs-List-21697334
I would really like to continue playing along and deposit the check in a separate account...just to see the course of action that happens from deposit time to when the check bounces and the money is reclaimed as I have always wondered about this process. However I see feds may knock on my door? Really?
