I had a listing on craigslist for a fish tank and all the bells and whistles to go with it for 600 dollars, the guy emailed me saying that he had to get movers that he was from NY and that he would send me 650 ( 50 extra for holding it for him ) and the rest would go to his movers because this was a extremely heavy setup to move. When I got the check in the mail, it was a certified cashiers check for 3800.00
Our bank cashed it with it being a certified cashiers check and he asked me to send the rest of the money to his mover and I have her information, so that she could pick it up. I western union the money to her, after waiting 5 days, and that night it came back a ficitious check.
our bank ended up taking the funds out of our account to cover the fictious check. leaving us high and dry for over 3000.00 dollars.
I have copies of the check it was from Mountain America Credit Union, and I have address and fed ex account numbers for the shipping information. Just be warned
