We did not know it was a sacm we got the check an it is a scam but  you do actually get a check an it is a real check an if you deposit it in your account that is when they get you we got all the same emails an calls an we got the check an I do not have a bank account so I took the check to wells fargo the bank it is drawn on an they checked it it is a real check It is a real account an routing number an it is a real company but the problem is none of it goes together the accont dose not belong to the company an so on SO this is a very good scam they even have a fed ex accont to send you the check with So if you get a check from Mr barry johnson or what ever name he uses next DO NOT DEPOSIT IT IN TO YOUR ACCOUNT!!!!

I did not get a call from this person however I did get an email from him saying that he is willing to pay me an extra $30 for my car with a bank "cheque" ..lol. I told him no checks but he emailed me back and I insisted that I take the "advert" off of craigslist. So I will reply yes to him and send him the address to the fbi. Lol..

I'm glad I came across this! He was asking scam-esque questions, so I became immediately skeptical. Barry Johnson, queen size bed frame connoisseur.

That's the exact same message he sent to me.

"I perfectly understand the present condition as started in the advert.I anticipate that I'll have a Bank Check issued out to you.I'm in no rush with you till funds are cleared in your  bank or anything. I’ll handle the pick up when check has been cleared.Kindly e-mail me back with your Name: Address: City: State: Code :Phone Number. The payment should get to you within 2 to 3 business days via USPS service. Please withdraw the advert from Craigs to avoid interruption."

what does he do after all this i don't understand it, how does he scam you ?!?

After reading about this guy, I emailed him back and told him not to mail me a check I knew he was a scammer. After a couple days, today I just received an email from him stating he just mailed me the check. I again told him I knew he was a scammer and I do not want him to send it and to stop it from being sent to me. This guy is rediculous....this must be his job...what a low life!

he also uses this email : autodee06@gmail.com
BE CAREFUL !

What he does is he sends you a check for over what your asking. He then has you deposit it and tells you that the extra is for the pick-up guy and that anything left over is to be wired to him through western union or what ever. But he has already canceled the check so you are actually giving him your money. Then your bank comes after you and wants you to pay the price for it. I just got done handing over EVERYTHING the check, all the emails, text messages he sent me and everything from here to my local police dept. The officer handling the case told me that it is a good thing I checked all this out before I did anything as after you deposit the check and you know it was a scam your screwed cause there is nothing they can do to help you fix because you basically you are saying I know about this but I don't care so go a head and scam me

Why did you do that? You may have just screwed things up for the other people who are trying to catch this guy. It also maybe a automatic e-mail. Otherwise why would EVERYONE on here get the same exact email from him? If it were an actual person you would think they would switch it up every now and then

Did they tell you they couldn't call cuz they are deaf? That's what they told me. Ugh

So I received this email today. I have turned in EVERYTHING I have gotten up until this point to my local Police Department. I know that if he calls the police on me that they will not do anything because I am not doing anything wrong and I am pretty sure it was just a ploy to get me to deposit the check which I do not have to deposit. Even if he said he would rip my toe nails off there is nothing I can do about it now. Has anyone else received an email like this?

thanks for all the info, we nearly became a victim, our e-mail from his was the same word for word and others have recieved.

I received the same message from james park.  I was excited because I thought someone was going to buy the thing I have for sale on craigslist. i got really suspicious when they wanted to send a bank certified check.  a friend went through a scam very similar to this, so i was suspicious from the get go. anyone know how we can stop this person?

That is what I am thinking as well, just do not touch the check.  I would call local authorities and give them the check as soon as it gets to you.  I hope everything works out for you!!

Thanks for posting information.  I am glad that I researched this before I responded.  Good luck to those that may have acted on this.  Thanks again. Keep posting.


.

Had the same think today, I'm getting him to send his check to the local police station lol.  I sell a lot of cars and love messing with these guys.  Most of them are Nigerians sitting in the U.K..  Have fun messing with them like I do.

That is funny. I wish I would have thought of that. I have yet to hear back from the guy. IDK wish he would email me again gives me more stuff to give to the Police. HA HA HA

I got the same message from Barry Johnson.  Apparently he is in the market for a ladder rack as well.  People like that make me sick.   I will be sure to report him.

Just wanted to say thank you guys for having this on here. I got an email from him today and looked it up thank you so for putting this up now i know its a scam
