Hello,

Thanks for the swift response, just to let you know that am okay with
the condition and price of the item, am ready for its purchase and my
form of payment will be by sending you Check via UPS next day
delivery.

I’ll be responsible for the pick-up and the pick up money will
be included in your payment to avoid delay and to enable pick up
company to schedule an appropriate time for the pick-up at your
location after check has been cashed,as i have other properties to be
moved alongside with yours.

I would have really love to come for the viewing but due to my work
frame that might not be possible,but if you have the pics,might want
to have a good look. Please do get back to me with the following

1.Your full name
2.Your mailing address(Physical as Ups does not deliver to P.O.Box}
3.Your phone number.

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 also am deaf and will like to be contacted via
email.*Looking forward to receiving this information, so the payment
can be made out asap

Thanks and God bless

Jennifer Smith

I was trying to sell some furniture for $650.00. So she responds saying that she can’t come in person because she’s away on business but will send a check for the amount asked now so nobody else will buy it. She also says she’s willing to wait for the check to clear with my bank before getting the furniture. So I said “sure, ok” thinking there’s no risk to me. I didn’t know I can get still get screwed even if the check does clear until I got to this site.

So a day or so later she sends me an InstiCheck for $2,450.00 saying the extra funds is to pay for her shipping company to come pick up the furniture and I should wire the difference to them via Western Union. So at this point I’m like “what the hell? $1800 to ship something that cost $650???” Furthermore, who the hell sends a complete stranger $2k anyway? So I Google for “InstiCheck” and “Craigslist” and “scam” and came across the “overpayment scam”. Googled for this some more and eventually got to this site.

I seriously wish I could reach across the Internet and triangle choke this “Jennifer Smith” until she passes out. I’m not sure if I should even respond to this her. Should I? I’d love to tell Jennifer Smith what she can go do with herself, but I bet I’m just one of many thousands of potential victims.
