I feel I'm becoming a professional scam detector ever since I posted a wedding dress for sale on Craigslist. I've never had so much feedback asking if I still have the dress, but all emails were a scam! Beware!
I received the following email from Leticia Albadani, who showed interest in the dress and asked the following:
Oh great, please tell me more about this dress, if i need to steam or dry
clean before i wear it, besides, is there any visual stains on it?
However, if theres still any more photos of this dress kindly send to
me, although i know the photos will do small justice on the dress.
Thanks and regards.
After responding, she wrote:
I would have also love to come see it in person, but am far away from home now, am a reporter presently working in Syria, my wedding is fast approaching, is on the 27th April in IL.
I'm ready to order your payment to purchase this dress from the bridal company that failed to delivered my dress. A Money Order will be drawn to you to effect the payment of this dress, i will also add an extra $80 for shipping via Expedited Mail Service through US Postal Service. I do not mind to wait for the period which the checks will takes to clear your bank. Besides, a Money Order are often treated as cash in many States Banks, because it will be drawn upon the company's account and surely funds will be release immediately. Once payment has been received you will send the dress to my mother in IL, cos i will have limited time left to prepare for the wedding. If my mode of payment is fine with you, kindly advise your name with the address in which you prefer to receive the payment.
Thank you so much and i look forward to read from you soon.
My regards,
L Albadani
I just want to make everyone aware that no matter what the name signed, this is a scam. I've noticed several scams out there with similar to exact wording. Anything where the person doesn't want to meet in person or provide funds via cash/paypal, I would be extremely cautious!
