I had an ad on Craigslist for a couch. Laura Hoffman e-mailed her interest and offered $50 more than price for couch ($150 50). She said she was on an assignment and her assistant sent a money order for the wrong amount (well over $200). I received a Bank of America Cashiers Check for $1,845 made out to just Mary Beth - no last name. As I suspected, the bank manager confirmed it was fraud-no such account or bank branch. The check was mailed from Charleston, West Virginia with no return address. This person kept sending e-mails for the info. About the money being returned to her after I kept $200.00 and the cost of sending the money order. She even gave me an ultimatum about reporting me to the authorities. I told her I had no money to send her. She had also e-mailed me and referred to herself as Lisa. She gave me the following info: Receiver: Lisa Hoffman, 5 Westminister Bridge Rd., London, United Kingdom, SE1 7XW. I have copies of all the e-mails and a similar one from Jordon [email protected] I also have the Cashiers Check and the envelope addressed to Mary Beth - no last name for me.
