Hijacked my email address to use in a Craigslist ad for an apartment for rent in San Francisco. I keep getting responses to the ad in my email generally asking for more details about the apartment. These have all been deleted without responding.

I have “flagged” the ad in Craigslist as a scam, but I keep getting these inquiries. The scammers have not requested any money from me or, as near as I can tell, from the responders.

Someone sent me an ad for a rental property on craigslist - when I clicked on the contact, they replied via text and they then asked me to email them. I went to a property website to check on the address and I got a call from the owner of the property and he said the person used the right info including his name, however, he had never spoken to me about the property.

I posted some chairs on Craigslist. Within 4 hours I received 4 scams to my cell phone. See scam phone texts below:

737-404-1735 SCAM Text: i got your post, but if you don't mind, can i send you 6 digits number to make sure you are real? then i will call you." (I received the same text another time I posted and this was the same phone number used by the scammer)

704-247-1911 SCAM Text: Please can you accept payment with a cashiers check? We are not in town. Moving company will pick up when check clears."

804-390-5666 SCAM Text: "i'm interested in buying the furniture but we're just moving in , but if you won't mind i cam make the payment through cashier's check and once the check is cleared I will have movers pick it up." (notice they say "it" and not the chairs, plural."

210-503-9006 SCAM Text: Can i pay with certified check and have movers pic up after check clears? Willing to add extra $50 for you to keep for me." (notice that this text is very non-specific. Real buyers want to see the furniture first.

These texts all came to me within the firs 4 hours of when I posted on Craigslist. I know these people must scam successfully some people. Please investigate these scammers. Thanks, ****** Also, could you suggest to Craig's list post on their search engine website in bold letters to look out for these types of scams and say, "Report these scams immediately and we will have an investigation."

Posted listing to sell a Cavapoo dog on craigslist. Location showed as Greenlake Seattle. Listing said there were 3 dogs left. They claimed they did not know how to use the location function and when asked if we could meet the dogs they told us they are in sacramento. There was also no mention of multiple dogs in our exchanges... Just 1 and a round about story about their wife having a new baby and their reason for rehoming this puppy.

Type of a scam Fake Check/Money Order

Let me start from the beginning. I placed a Craig’s List ad about one week ago selling a patient lift. The next day I received an email saying they would like to purchase the lift. They agreed to the price and asked to take the listing down and said they would send a certified check in the next few days. I tried to send a reply back but the email would not go through. I tried again but it still would not go through. I decided to repost the ad and figured they changed their mind re the purchase. Two days ago I received an email that I would be receiving a fed ex delivery from Smithco meats. Today I received the fedex envelope. Inside was a smaller brown envelope with my name printed on it. When I opened the brown envelope there was a check made out to me from Trystar LLC. I telephoned each of these companies to ask them about this. Smithco Meats was unaware of any of this and when I phoned Trystar LLC they informed me that fake checks were being sent out all over the country for some time. I did not put it together at first but when I thought about the Craig’s List posting it all came together for me. Please be aware. The Craig’s list add I placed for the sale of the patient lift was $275, the check made out to me was for $2,7500

Type of a scam Credit Cards

I was contacted by email response on Craigslist about a truck I was selling. This person wrote a lot about how interested they were and wanted to know if there were any problems with the vehicle. Then they gave me a website for auto reports that they said is the ONLY site they trusted because they’ve been screwed over before (ironic, I know). They said they’re loan officer needed the report and that if they bought the vehicle they’d add on the $25 for the auto report. This site is run by them and when you put in your credit card information, it goes directly to them. Do not do this.

We answered an ad on Craigslist for a house for rent. We replied back through Craigslist via their reply button to answer the ad. When the person replied, he asked me to send email via his personal email address, which I did. We are across the state, wanting to move, so we looked at the photos he sent and liked what we saw. We replied that we were interested so he sent us a rental agreement to sign before asking for funds. Once we signed the lease agreement, we wired the $600 for deposit with the agreement he would overnight the keys so we could go ahead and take possession to clean. Then he came back and said his lawyer advised him not to send the keys until he received the first month's rent. So on 8/28/2020 we wired the $500 for the rent payment. Now, at 6:25pm Central time, on 8/30/2020 he has stopped communicating. We researched the property and found out that it belongs to someone else who had bought it from an LLC about 5 weeks ago. We found out about the sale part from one of owners of the LLC who we found online and contacted today--***** ****** ** ******* **. The LLC contacted Craigslist after they sold the property to tell them this house was listed for rent and that the ad was not real, as their company had just sold the home but the ad was never flagged or removed. We also believe the name he gave us is bogus, as the name in the body of the lease says one thing, and the signature at the bottom belongs to ***** ******. All in all, the scammer used Craigslist, Cashapp, Gmail, and TextNow to carry out this scam.

He states he is in the Air Force and bought the home for his spouse but she no longer wants to live there. This person is NOT the owner of the house and we no longer own the home.

Scammer told to pay through zelle app $200 for ownership transfer for puppy. Got it. Then another $200 for flight from portland oregon to san antonio texas. Gave transexpresslogitics.com as agency and gave a tracking number. Lastly, the crate for the puppy wasnt enough for the weather so additional $200 to upgrade crate. Told me the puppy will arrive at 830am never did arrive. Lost all that money!
