Another scam via Craigslist: offering more than asking price

tlucas925@gmail.com also going by Todd Schuman

I gave him the FBI Virgina Address and asked him to send payment to Ruby Ousted <-- Anagram
Seems he sent the money, getting very demanding about his Item so I also gave him a number to call for questions (804) 261-1044

They were dumb enough to send payment there, maybe they are dumb enough to pursue their items with the FBI

I got this email today from kings.georgesly194@gmail.com....Watch out for this email, it's a scam!! Here is a copy of the email:

Hello Thanks for the prompt response and i will love to make an
instant purchase i Saw your advert on Craig and would want to make an
immediate purchase . I will like you to withdraw the advert from
Craig i don't mind adding an extra $40 for you to take the advert
down from Craig so that i can be rest assured that am in hand of the
item.I don't have time to come take a look. I will be paying via
certified check or cashier check,and it will be over night payment
.You don't need to bother your self with the shipment OK,i will take
care of that. So i will need you to provide me with the following
information to facilitate the mailing of the check. (NOT P.O BOX)

Name to be on the check____
Home address____
City____
State____
Zip Code_____
Cell phone #______

I would forward all your details to my secretary to make the payment
out to you fast...i am on a business trip right now, and would be busy
for sometime, i would be checking my email time to time to check your
message.
Have a nice day

thanks

Amer Busevac (AKA sam.mark700@gmail.com, jamesmiller0005@gmail.com, Rachel Fowler) said he wanted to buy my $325 bicycle advertized on Tampa.Craiglist.org -- and that he was out of town and would mail a check to me and pick up bicycle later. He mailed a FRAUDULENT $2,750 CHECK from St. Louis (saying from Memphis) drawn on a PHONY BUSINESS Vision Realty & Mortgage in Boca Raton and asked that I wire the excess funds to him via Western Union. Suntrust Bank said the check was PHONY, HAVING INVALID ACCOUNT NUMBER. Amer Busevac also texted a threat to me from 314-282-4508 (St Louis) but wouldn't answer the phone when I called back. BEWARE OF AMER BUSEVAC! SCAM ARTIST!
