Scammer/Seller offered Hay for sale. Said he would deliver. Asked me to send money through Zelle ( by Regions Bank). Claimed to drive up and down I-65 and would meet at a place near the Interstate. Never delivered.

Filed a complaint with local Sheriff's office. Was advised that Regions Bank would probably not refund the money. Filed with Regions anyway, and they replied that it was not their fault that I sent money or that seller did not deliver.

This supposed business offered me work. I turned down other work I had at the same time under the guise I would be working with this "company". The owner worked me for one (1) day. At the end of the day he said "good night, I'll see you tomorrow". I asked him what time in the morning, he replied, "9am". I was on my way out the door to go to "work", and I noticed I had a text message from him, it said "no work today" I asked him if there was work tomorrow and I never received a response back. I lost out on income and time because of this, 2 things I'll never get back. I want to warn others of shady employers like this. They will use your skills and labor to help finish a task quickly under the mask of employment, yet they have no interest or cares who they do this to and how it affects them or their livelihoods. I've been in this business a long time, and this happens often to many other people besides myself. Employers like to use you and your skills and labor to complete the main task, mysteriously fire you for no quantifiable reason then sub out the rest of the work to younger, lower skilled laborers, or Mexicans

Used Craigslist to try and sell two items and had the same experience on both items. I received text messages in a very short time (5 min) on the first item where the person stated that they were from out-of-state and moving and wanted to buy my table and chair set. They would pay full price with a cashier's check. All they needed was a name for the check and a place to send it, which I provided. The next day, text was sent from a different phone number stating that they needed to change to their personal cell phone. They indicated that the check was sent but their secretary made a mistake in the amount. At this point I asked them to provide me with an address to return the check and they stated that I could deposit the full amount and money gram back the difference minus a fee for my inconvenience. I was already suspicious of both transactions and the similar pattern that occurred. Reading more online, I saw that this is a common scam on Craigslist. I actually did receive a check and started to review it. It is written from a real bank, proper routing code, and drafted against a real company. I didn't see a watermark and under the amount it says "Valid after 90 Days" and the check was for $800 more than the requested purchase price.

Other items that I noted were poor grammar, misspelled words, both stated that their secretary would send the check, and the one check was sent out FedEx overnight.

My family and I fell victims to a Craigslist scam here in Tempe, AZ. We contacted the add we found on Craigslist for $900 a month- $900 deposit. Well the supposed "landlord" whomever we had contacted through the add. He told us he would email more information about his home. And gave us the lock box code to view the home. Also mentioned that when we go by the house we will see the previous real estate sign and do not contact because he plans on paying off their commission. PRS Properties is the agency with the home "legitimately". Now prior to me sending this supposed "landlord" my money I was weary so I contacted the PRS agency and said I was planning on sending money to a "Rob** Gar***" I needed to verify he was in fact the one to take payments. I felt weird. I did not receive a call back from the agency so the following two days I went forth with my transaction. Now, the 3rd day we were already moved into the home completely and the utilities were not turned on as part of his agreement. Then I finally received a call from PRS telling me I have been scammed they have someone coming to the home the next two days. So if that was the case. Why was I not informed previous when I called and had mentioned I was about to give my money for a property. To me I feel the company was involved. Whether or not they are. They still need more security to their homes. So just know that garbage codes and lock box codes are almost always public from these companies so a scammer can copy and paste and use everything. Buyers beware. Do not SEND ANY MONEY. DO NOT BUY ANY GIFT CARDS. IT IS A SCAM. REPORT TO POLICE IMMEDIATLY. AND REPORT THE COMPANY ASSOCIATED BECAUSE THEY DO NOT SEEM TO DO ANYTHING TO PREVENT THESE MATTERS FROM HAPPENING OVER AGAIN.
