Does anybody get frequent responses from craigslist .? |
im getting several asking to send me more money than the product im selling and asking me to send money to a western union address,what kind of a scam is this?? Yes it is a SCAM. I saw this on Oprah the other day. They send you a check for more than the amount and ask to you to send the left overs to them....mean while your check will not clear in time! So after you send the $$$ back to them the check comes back non-sufficient. You could even go to jail for fraud!!! Stay away from those people. I always flag their emails!!! You should too. I have sold & bought many things on craiglist from local or within the us. Buyer & Sellers beware!
