I posted my first item on Craigslist this weekend and johncoma01@gmail.com was the first to respond. Sounded too good to be true and it was. Thanks.

I thought i was being smart and just cashed the check figuring that if it cashed it was legit, i bank through a major bank today five days later the check is bounced back to be even though i straight cashed it? i might be stupid but i didnt think you could bounce a cashed check?

Help!

I just received an email from a Ricky Garcia. Same thing as this. I sent him my info, but when I got the response saying his secretary messed up, I told him to forget about it. If I get the check I'm going to just tear it up. I thought it sounded questionable, but I talked to people and they said to just go with it. Has anybody had any more problems than just the bad check and losing the item? I just want to know if I should be expecting anything else in the mail, a phone call, or a visit from anybody.

Same address, same story, new name... Traci Richardson this time.
Thanks for the info all!

I got suspicious when the gmail account name did not match his name. Thank goodness for your website.
