Contact made by a person named Alison Gibson who was willing to pay asking price on a car I advertised on Craigslist. Offered to send check and someone would pick up car. I finally got a check from a company called *** Inc’ (apparently legitimate company) but mailed from ***’ (also legit). Check was for over $3000 of agreed price, supposedly to cover shipping expense. Almost certain check is fake though I have not tried to deposit it yet. ScamPulse.com has an alert on ‘***’ for exactly this situation and it is a scam using hacked information from this company.

I am selling things on Offer up and Craigs List . When a Faith Lyman an her husband David Lyman wanted two of my items. A recliner and a Large dresser .They said they wanted to buy both and they were here and their daughter just had a baby at a local hospital. They saw the add and had to go back to their jobs. And if I would take them off the list they would compensate for my trouble.that they would send me a certified
check .So the more I thought about it . I finally tried to several times to get them and told them cash only .They would not respond and instead they finally told me that a check was in the mail priority mail it did come It had a return address with a different name and a mass. address which the local ScamPulse.com said was a Zillow house that was for sale. I didn’t open the package and took it to post office and returned it to them.
