My son had a PS3 up for sale on our local craigslist and after receiving very similar emails from different addresses we were sent a check for almost $2000, from an address in Va. but the check was from the "Oregon state treasury ". These buffoons UPS overnight-ed that obviously bogus check along with printed off instructions to contact yet another person for further directions.
I googled the address in Va. and it is a house that is listed for sale.
What would be the best course of action to put a splinter up their behind? Local or state police, take the check to the bank, let craigslist handle it? (CL probably won't do diddly)
I realize these scumbags probably have their bases covered but any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks!
EDIT: I didn't fall for it and send them the PS3, I would just like to see this dirtball stopped so he doesn't eventually screw somebody over.
