I had advertised an all-wood dining room set complete with china cabinet on Craigslist and received emails from a Mary Edward with information that she had deposited money in my PayPal account for the furniture plus another $300 that I was to then send to Nick Beard as the trucker for Royalux, Inc. That would pick up the furniture for delivery to Mary Edward. Mr. Beard's address was given as 1707 Honeysuckle Drive, Mansfield, OH 44902. I was to send the $ by Western Union. This is a scam.
I have since been contacted by the Ohio Attorney General's office which is investigating. The folks at Western Union said to NEVER, NEVER send money by Western Union to anybody other than a friend or relative that you know their name and their address.
