I am selling something on Craigslist and this number is buying something from me and I don't know if I should go through with it.

Same thing here, stay away.

What happened did he buy your item or was it just a scam??

Same thing here....Wanted a crazy pickup and payment plan....

I listed an article for sale on Craigslist. This man claims to be from Alabama. He will only text.
He will not answer his phone. Wanted my name and address to send a check and pick up merchanse
later. Wanted to know if I had a paypal account. What' that got to do with selling anything? I requested a
cashier's check. I feel it is a scam.

Just posted wheels for sale and got a text from this guy asking if would take check or paypal. Is Alabama area code, no where near my location, believe is scam, not responding.

Same here, selling a car and he asks bottom dollar and whether check or PayPal.  I'm not responding. I'm in Cincinnati Ohio.

stay away this is a scam!!!!

Yep, scammer. Looks like he's stalking craigslist. Trying the typical scam where he sends you a check in an amount for more than what you are selling. Then asks you to send the overage back. Meanwhile his check bounces 3 days later. Don't fall for it.

Still doing it via text, wants me to ship something that is unshippable - give him a bogus address to ship his face check to....

Thanks to whoever posted this! Saved me from a scam. He told me he was sending a certified check but I did not feel comfortable giving out my address.   Then I saw this site! Thanks again

Same method here. I told him to get lost!

Wanted to buy my cars off craigslist thought it was funny how he wanted.to pay with a check now i know

Got a series of texts from this number, he claims his name is "Scott".  He offered certified check payment for my item on craigslist, then he would arrange shipping.  Check and courier are coming from WA, the number is from Birmingham, AL... Was pretty sure it was a scam from the off, but was curious to see where it goes.  Stay away, tell this scum that nobody loves him.

this guy scammed me too. I seen all the people he has done this to so i decided to teach him a lesson. I posted a lot of stuff on craigslist and put his name and number. i hope his phone rings all day long. lol

Don't mess with this clown. He is a scammer.

im glad you guys posted about this scammer. I just received a text from him wanting to buy my wheels off of craigslist and pay with a certified check. Thanks now I know not to mess with him.

Thank you so much for posting this!! This just saved me big time!!

Craigslist Scam:

The scam works like this.  They think your item as described is perfect.  They might ask a few questions about it, and then will pay your asking price, sight unseen, because they are never around close by to come look at it (they use the stationed somewhere in the military a whole lot).  They will give you an extra $40 or $50 to old it for them.  Then they tell you they will send a cashier’s check or money order for that amount plus extra for the “shipper”.  They ask you to wire that extra money by untraceable means such as Western Union or Moneygram.  The check or money order turns out to be bogus and you end up out the money you sent plus the bank fees.  Also, if the check is big enough you may end up being charged criminally.  Take the check and the envelope it came in to the post office and have them forward it to the postal inspectors.
In the case of them using PayPal, the same thing happens.  They send a fake email looking like it came from PayPal, get you to pay the shipper, and then find out that the e mail was fake and no money is available.
