We were contacted by Maria Bruckman, via email regarding a Craigslist NH ad for a 2009 Yacht trailer.   A check for $2500 from was received , and Maria ( expensejewel@gmail.com) email instructed that the remaining balance was for the shipper.   We deposited the check, which looked fishy Drafted by Citibank.

We instructed her we needed identification sent to us.  The person said they were in process of getting a new license, and would give this to us, when the shipper picked up the trailer.  (Very fishy)  This prompted us to do an internet search, and we found multiple ripoffreports for the Name.

This scammer wanted us to sent a money gram to the below address.

the photo id/license and a signed copy of the purchase & sale will be presented at the time of pickup to finalize the process. Please send the remaining balance via money gram money transfer with the following information..
Robert Ellis

Kindly get back with the MoneyGram transfer reference number, you can deduct the MoneyGram charges from the remaining balance usually $50-80 or less. Dont know if this location might be of any help:
