The cashier’s check is for $4,720 and I agreed upon $2,900 for my labor service to paint the house and they sent a extra $1,820 asking me to pay the movers. They gave me a address for the house to be painted here in my city, but the check is from Montana and the Click-N-Ship return address is for Oklahoma

We don’t sell anything on Let Go, Craigslist, etc. We are a transport brokerage in Fl. The checks are made out to different people, from different companies, with nothing else in the envelope. “Approved Payment” is in the memo line. I called each company to advise them, except for the one company that doesn’t even exist. I don’t get how they are even getting through the mail with the fake labels. Its ridiculous.

The thing that kept me from depositing that check was that I informed the guy that I don’t have a bank account because I don’t like banks.
He stopped communicating with me after that.

I just received the exact same package with a cashier check. It was returned to me because they used my address but not my name. Knew something was fishy about the package.

Did the bank tell you the check is real? Also how much is it for? Just curiou . My experience with the scammer was craz . He ended up sending a 2nd check after I started ignoring his text messages and ended up texting me from 4 diff phone number . He was trying to buy an inversion table from me listed on Letgo for 200$, he offered another 50$ for me to hold it til the cashiers check got there and then when the check arrived it was for 1500$ he said someone in his office made a mistake and tried to get me to send the difference back after putting his check in an atm and getting credit for it. Lol yea let me get all over doing tha . People suck trying to take away money you’ve worked hard for and is marked to feed your family and children wit . Disgusting

Right now I have a check sent from someone through let go I had him send the check to a p.o box we closed right after. We figured it was a scam. I talked to the guy on the phone and nevwr gave him any personal information. We’re going to open a new bank account and not use our existing with our money in it to cash it. The check is real but I still have a feeling this guy is trying to scam us some how. The only reason im messaging you is because the senders address was james bowen companies but the guy said his name was ricky.

They offered to send a cashier’s check for the purchase price + $50 to “hold the item” for him. I asked where he was located because he had a CA area code (I’m in NJ) and he said he was a “military man” so out of town. The other odd thing was that he originally responded in the LetGo app, but then asked me to text him directly to his phone. Seems like he didn’t want any conversation in the app. Shady from the start.

Im trying to sell an item on let go and just Had an issue. Someone Offering to pay me $50 more than The asking price of the item if would hold It. I pretty much knew it was a scam. So I told him sure. he said they would be sending me a cashiers check and wanted my address and name. So I told them OK. I Gave them the name and phone number to my local sheriffs department and the address to my local sheriffs department. Of course they never replied. However I did message him saying (ha ha ha)

Under no circumstances should you send him your information. It is most likely a scam. Never share your information with anyone you don’t know. Ask to deal with cash only when buying and selling items through apps like LetGo.
