yeah i got the same exact message answering the craigslist ad in morgantown wv. IT  is a SCAM do not fall for it!

If their email has "(NO PO BOX)" then it is definitely a scam.  The crooks want to avoid mail fraud charges.

he used Seth Tristan on my email

I received the same email, but the name used was edgar gareth

Got the same message. He even sent me a fraud check.... How do we stop this guy? Or take him to court? Something?!

I got that very same message affter replying to the same ad on craigslist but in a different name as well, so I decided to call him and question him about his art galleria name and his info. before I gave mines out and he quickly said he has to go pick up the other line because its his customers and hung up with out waiting for my answer. But at the same time I knew something was wrong because he didnt answer my questions and he started to hesitate. There needs to be something done with this guy. When I called and asked if this was robert, he hesitated like he was confused as well I had to ask 5 times if that was him and then he replied "yes." and who emails you back at 5:30am?

Fraudulent business transactions!!!! guaranteed for sure. I have spoke with this person regarding a front desk position also and it is all fake!

His name was Anders Lloyd in my email.

Mine too. Anders Lloyd.

Got the same email at 2:51 AM from Leon Kenneth Jr. It's so frustrating to come across these scams when I'm having such a hard time finding work. Someone needs to get this guy because it's wrong to take advantage of those of us who honestly just need work. Had a feeling it was total crap so I'm glad to read your posts. Thank you everyone for saving me from wasting my time calling these idiots.

Yes thanks for posting this, I had Leon Kenneth Jr.  It makes it easier for me to confirm a fraudulent job listing so I can get on with finding a legitimate job.

Also uses the name Thomas Eikland.

Same email sent to me. In my email the name was Wesley Jarrett.

The same message was sent to me also.

Hey everyone, I also saw the exact same email, word for word but his name was Wesley Jarrett in my email. Im a broke college student looking to buy a car and thought it would be a great idea...well I asked him for more info but he never would answer my questions. Then he told he that I got that job and that he sent me a check for money.....well two days later I got a check in the male for over $2,000 and then saw all these posts about him...Scared the hell out of me and I ripped it up.

I got the above message in response to my application for a customer service position with State Farm. I am so frustrated that I wasted my time sending him my resume and even included a well written cover letter.
