(206) 888-4157

i recieved a message from a "[email protected]"with the typical scam letter and information as above posts.the funny thing is in my post i included my phone number for a contact but no call.the phone number they provided was 1-206-888-4157 i didnt call it but from the first three numbers are a prepay phone number prefix.it is a typical scam email.i just wrote back to tell them i dont have a bank account so i couldnt cash the check and i prefer to talk to someone in person with proper id before i will send anything.

I got the same email about a car I'm selling on Craigslist.  It looked like a scam, and lo and behold, it is.We wrote back to "Dee Canon" and said we wanted to go ahead with her proposed deal.  She asked for the name and address to send the payment, and I gave her the name and address of our state attorney general (obviously with no job ***le in the address), and asked if she'd drop me an email once payment was sent so I could "keep an eye out for it."  Surprisingly, this idiot actually sent the payment to the state AG 5 days later!  Now the attorney general will get a certified payment from this idiot, and at least investigate enough to figure out what the payment is for (hopefully discovering the fraudulent nature of the instrument in the process).Fun, and it only took 15 minutes - a lot less time and trouble than filing a complaint, since this eliminates me as the middleman between the attorney general and our scammer.  Have fun with the AG, "Dee!"

I just got the same email that Ni did.  I'm glad this website is around to save me the trouble of bothering with this twit.

Got the same message listing on craigslist about dee cannon being in bad health and sending a certified check via ups. its a scam.  I got $2700 in three $900 postal money orders before for a bike that i was selling for $1000. The bank cleared the money and it took exactly three weeks before it was all taken back. I hadn't sent the bike or anything and i had notified the bank that i thought it could****entially be fraudulent and the bank said it was real and legit, until it bounced. If you go through with the first half of the scam its almost like getting a temporary loan from your own bank that they take back themselves after three weeks wether the money is there or not.

haha i told them they were a scam and that i sent their info to the fbi so we will see how the police handle his lovely little act

Confirming what Bob wrote, this person is a scammer.  This number was left from someone who contacted me from email address [email protected].

This person is a scammer that looks on craigslist for people to accept certified checks with a higher amount than the purchase and then wire the rest to thier shipper.  The checks will almost always be fake.  If they are not I suspect that it is part of a money laundering operation.
