I just received a text from the same phone number asking for the same information. This is a scammer.

This scam is still on-going. Same phone number 773-741-1933 Selling an item here --received text from this number. At first didn't sound bad UNTIL text informed us that the certified check being sent would include shipping cost of item and we were to deposit and then send check to shipper, etc., to cover costs. When I searched phone number on internet TOV posts came up.

You can avoid these scams by putting "local pick up" and "cash only" is your sales item description.
Any email that asks for anything else can be ignored. |

I didn't respond to their texts and only used email to correspond. The following emails belong to the scammers: vivianenheart@gmail.com; paymentcenter@financier.com. They use real addresses in Homosassa, FL; Fair Haven, VT; and Columbus, OH. I made a report with Wildwood Police.

They hardly ever catch the scammers or hackers. Main reason 99% aren’t even in this country IMO. I think there no gun involved so it’s low priority? My house once for burglarized, once LEO found out none of my guns was missing they lost interest and left. |

These scams are older than even 2 Ladies in a Golf Cart w/Clipboard, or Dog Poop or Costco threads but not quite as old as Trader Joe's or Whole Foods threads.
