I was looking to purchase a good used ATV. I found this add on "Two ATV's with a tailor for sale on Anchorage Craigs List. com and it sounded like a good deal. And when they mentioned payment through ebay, it didn't sound right, but my husband said; "its a secure site" and I was like well OK.
So, I don't know what to do at this point but I did report to 1-800-448-1492
and spoke to an Agent there by the name of Evelyn agent # 815.
The sale was $2,700.00 + I paid $190.00 fee to send money through Western Union
I was told that I was to send the money to an ebay agent. Total payment made $2,890.00 dollars.
James Manning
70 E 96th Street
New York, NY 10128
Then I was told to fax payment to 1-206-666-6595
Then I was given an invoice # 54197995 that was sent by "Maria Bennett"
Maria Bennett gave me this address and phone number for her contact infMy address is :
235 Smith Road
Peconic, NY 11958-1624
206-339-5748 ormation:
Her email address she gave me: mariabt63@gmail.com
I have more information I will send the add on craigs list from Anchorage Alaska craigslist where the add is.
Also the information she gave me with the ebay instructions on where to send the money.
I sincerely hope that you can help me retrieve my money and find the
people who have scammed me. I feel so deeply taken, and victimized.
P.S. I asked her to send the ATV's under my husbands name because he
works for ATS Alaska Transportation Systems as the station manager for
Ryan Airlines.
So his name was on the invoice to ship it under.
I was then given a control number 74836909

More than one rule.
AUTHOR: Flynrider - (USA)

If you follow the advice that is at the top of EVERY Craigslist post, you will avoid 99.99% of all scams :
Avoid scams and fraud by dealing locally! Beware any deal involving Western Union, Moneygram, wire transfer, cashier check, money order, shipping, escrow, or any promise of transaction protection/certification/guarantee.
" it didn't sound right, but my husband said; "its a secure site" "
Your husband is not very smart. There was nothing legit or secure about this transaction. It was just a ploy by some scammers to get a naive Craigslist user to send untraceable cash to a complete stranger.

Sorry....but you were scammed.

This was a scam from the outset.
EBay and Craigslist have nothing to do with each other.
The address they gave you is probably fake. As soon as you faxed the Western Union receipt, that money could be claimed by anyone in the world. Most likely, you were dealing with a scammer in West Africa. As such, your money is gone. There will be no way to get it back.
When purchasing on Craigslist, there is only one rule: Deal locally.
Here are the first two warnings posted on Craigslist:
DEAL LOCALLY WITH FOLKS YOU CAN MEET IN PERSON - follow this one rule and avoid 99% of scam attempts on craigslist.
NEVER WIRE FUNDS VIA WESTERN UNION, MONEYGRAM or any other wire service - anyone who asks you to do so is a scammer.
