206-350-3565

Scammer on Craig's List uses this as call back number.

Received several emails about my craigslist item, which stated:
------------------
"Thanks for the prompt response. I have instructed my
account officer to  mail (overnight) a certified
check, while you hold this item for me. Let me know
when you receive the check and I will have my mover
will come pick up at your place.  Please forward me
the following info so I can issue your check . . .

1.Your full name
2.Your mailing address(Physical)
3.Your phone number.

** Please note that I will overnight the payment,and
you should receive it tomorrow. I appreciate you
holding this for me.  Please delete the posting as I
am definitely buying it from you and it would be sad
for me to have the payment in the mail only to be
informed of the its sale**
--------------------------

The email came from Eric Williams [ericwillims@gmail.com].  When I responded requesting his phone #, I received this email:

"Hello,
  I would like you to know am so busy and won't be able to call you here is my number(206-350-3565) if you want to leave a msg but i can't get back to you due to me been busy,so get back to me with your information so the check can be issued and sent today. Thanks"

I did not call or reply any further.

I received the exact messages today.

I got the exact same emails as described above from this guy.

same thing happened this morning. Said his name is Henry Cooper and he only deals with checks. maybe some scam to get bank info and rob you blind. do not provide any info to this person.

I received the same emails as above, also with name Chris Holm and received the same first two emails, text matching exactly. Thanks for the posts because now I'm not even going to write back, because if I do, I'm sure I'll receive the same final email with the scam number

I am glad to see I have done my diligence properly and found you all with the same contact scam.  "Chris Holm" is a FKN Idiot.  I'm just trying to sell some stuff on craigslist.  WTF!
Same message as you all.
Same name.
Same, same, same azzhole.

Same message from same guy (Chris Holm, mynameischrisholm@gmail.com) contacted me about a Craigslist post in Raleigh, NC area.

I got the same messages in response to a CraigsList ad in Minnesota.
The first from chrisholmx98@fresnomail.com
The second from mynameischrisholm@gmail.com

Here they are:

I received the same email messages you did in response to my craigslist ad in Boston area.  I was certain he was trying to scam me and then found all of you others who agree!  
His email asking me about my item came minutes after I posted it.  
Be aware!

I just received the same e-mail!  Thanks for the heads up, guys.

Got the same email from a Kelly Fountain.

I got exactly the same messages from a Chris Holms last night and today regarding a Craigslist Boston Post

Thanks for the info   I will disregard those e-mails in light of the info on this site.

Yow!  Same thing just happened to me exactly.  Same email & everything.  Before see these posts I had emailed him back asking didn't he want to see the item and saying I wanted cash because of scams.  Haven't heard back as yet.  Glad I decided to search his email address (which is how I found this!)

Yes, it is hard to believe that these scams are out there......it is sad to think about people doing this type of thing.
The wording of the emails appears to be all the same.........it DID appear to be too good to be true........I think that is what sent up the red flag for us.

Yea this guy is a hoser, he send a check for an extra $3000.00 by accident, I called the business that was listed, they have had lots of calls by people he is trying to scam, he sends a check with their business name, an address in AZ. (the business is actually in New York, & some poor girl bank account #.
Don't fall for his tricks!!!
Big Red

I just got the same email from this address chrisholm@gmail.com. It was the same as listed above. What a loser..

Yep, I got this too.....in fact i was selling an item for $100 bucks so 'Chris Holm' decided to send me a check for a convenient $3100.....saying it was a mistake.........going ton to say....go ahead and cash the check and keep an extra hundred for myself.......and wire me the rest....

yeah right.....glad I found this thread!

Watch out folks

I don't know what made me put this guys email address into google but I am glad I did.  I got exactly the same email today after putting something on craigslist.  Thanks for posting this.

So dummy me sends my address to this goof ball.  Now what folks.  Should I go to the police when I get the check or what ever this guy is up to?
