I listed an item on Craigslist for sale. I was contacted via email by a Mrs. Elizabeth Benson. Claimed she was out of the country working on contract and would like to purchase item immediately. She asked for my name, address and phone # for purposes of sending me via courier a cashiers check. She also said she would have movers come and pick up the item once I received my money. She said she would contact me with a tracking # and that the check will be in my hands 2 to 3 business days. She also told me to remove my posting from Craigslist.
I have emailed her twice now letting her know that it's been a week and no check. I received only one reply saying it's coming and that she hopes that I am honest because she has the fear of God in her.
My instinct told me that something was not right about this person and I never had any intention of removing the item I posted for sale and told her I would not.
I have yet to hear back from her. I did some research on her email address and it came up on this website as a possible rip-off artist using cashiers checks.
I wrote Mrs. Elizabeth Benson back tonight letting her know that still no check, and good luck with the fraud act-and informed her I filed a complaint online.
