Geez, I already have had two scammers within 2 days of posting an ad on CL to sell my son's trombone. Didn't answer the first text from:

(206)629-6718
Hi, this is Dave i'd like to know if is still available: xxx xxxx xxx Trombone - $1350 (Springfield, MO)

Regretfully answered this one:

(337)509-0581
Hi, Pls email me back @ [email protected] if ur Music Instrument Items on C.L is still available...Thanks

He answered back with the name
John Rock:
hanks for the prompt response to text. I will be buying this from
you, kindly withdraw the advert from C.L and considered it
sold. I will overnight the payment asap but i will be paying with a
certified check from my Bank and it will deliver to you via United
Parcel Service (UPS), so I'll need you to provide me with the
following information to facilitate the mailing of the check... And am
offering additional $30 with the original price to have this asap.

Name to be on the payment ...........
Address to mail the check to .............
City, state and Zip code .............
Final Asking price...................
Cell phone # to text you on ................

I will make arrangements for the pick up as soon as you have your
check clear, due to my work frame and my Kids, I will not be able to
come with the cash and pick it up myself , so i will mail the check
and have someone pick up the item after the check clears. Reference to
your CL post am completely satisfied with it and the payment will
be deliver within 24 hours..
God Bless.


SHIT :shock:
Oh well. The gmail account name threw me at first because Joplin is a city an hour away. Was tempted to mess with him but won't for now...unless it gets interesting. Love the previous posts on this thread!!

Hey I was wondering if you had heard anything else from this person cuz I posted an ad for Monster High Dolls in Reno,NV and I got the exact same email. So before I move forward in would like to see what happened with you.
Thank you
