Latest Craiglist scam
« on: April 13, 2011, 08:17:56 AM »
Here is the latest Craiglist scam locally,
Two people have been hit in the last couple of days, in the Metro Detroit area.
Couple of clean cut looking guy's show up in the public place, to buy an x box and the other was a lap top.
People only accepted cash, they leave the guy goes to pay for gas at a station, they call the police. All the money was homemade computer generated,and aged. The phone number was a a burn phone.
Same thing happened to the lap top owner.
So now when you deal with craiglist, get the license number of the car or photo's, and carry a Dri-Mark counterfeit detector pen. They are cheap at any big box office store.  :doh:  :borg:

Ouch! That has to suck.

Good to keep in mind though.
Science is fun.

We're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad.
