I think I am still a bit confused (and admittedly naive) about this. Why are you on the hook if you're not the one who allegedly purchased the money order? Rather than depositing it, can you not go try to have it cashed and then have the bank validate it immediately? Especially if you were to take it to a BB&T branch? And if they can't do that, then doesn't that make THEM liable? I know that this opens all kinds of possibilities of money order fraud, but if it didn't originate with you and you can prove it, then it still seems... well, screwed up.
I assume you've contacted law enforcement about this? I'm curious now what this person was trying to buy. Honestly, why would a sane person request to buy toys for 30 or 40, stated they'll pay 60 for the delay and then send a MO for 1700. I wouldn't risk trying to cash it at all. Regardless it's fake. It may not make sense because it didn't originate from me but if I take it to deposit it I'm still responsible. If catching they guys/ gals were that easy there would be less of it happening, once you research it, it's happening all the time. The initial post was to alert you guys of the scam. I'm sure any of us can be a target. |

Do any of you guys know anything about a company called SpecComm International Inc.? The MO is not in the guys name. It has this company's name on it. I'm contacting the company to let them know they are being used in a scam. Funny it could someone from the company scamming people.

I always fear Craigslist, but I've been searching for 1 COLECOVISION . There's a guy that has one, but I've sent tons of eMails and none are getting responses from any account.

This is the 1st time I've ever had issues on Craigslist. Any transactions I do are during the day in a very high traffic area. Never been involved in a Craigslist scam before. Scammers are everywhere. Hard to trust people.

I was wondering how long it was going to linger before I had to say I was pulling your chain.
What, you don't love the weather here? I was born in Ohio. Welcome dude. |
