This person contacted me through a Craigslist add in Indiana asking if I still had my item for sale. Once I responded, "he" said he wanted to purchase but had left town and his son would arrange pickup as soon as I received a check. I asked for cashier's check or money order and forwarded my address to send a payment to. Within a couple of days, the story had changed and I was now to keep extra money for my troubles, and wire the rest to pay his movers, as well as deliver the items to a moving company to send to him. Red flags were thrown and I emailed concerns with the transaction sounding strange, to say the least. He countered with "keep $100 for your troubles" and wire the rest to Corey Nichole Frye at 3105 N. Macaw Ln, Lexington, South Carolina. I have received a check for $1950 which has been verified as fraudulent by the bank it was "issued" off of. I have also reported this to the company it is being written from (Advanced Material Handling, LLC). They told me these checks are being sent worldwide from the U.S., as well as Peru, Argentina, and who knows where else! I will be turing the check over to the USPS to investigate Federal fraud, and I hope they catch these idiots before someone actually does deposit one of these checks and pays for it!!!
