Let me teach you what I learned from my $2000 scammer! At least read the end. ***The short story:*** I was selling an item on Craigslist and was given a check for $2400. Then I was told to forward some of the money to a mover once the check cleared. Once the money was available after 24 hours, I thought it was safe to forward the money. However, after I sent the money, the check came back fraud and I now owed the bank a bunch of money. ***The long story:*** I was selling a new rims on Craigslist valued at around $1000. They were still in the packaging and I had the record of sale. I no longer have the vehicle and they had been sitting there for a little while and I needed $600 to pay my supervisor (Mike) for an item I had already obtained from him, (I was also late paying him due to suddenly being underpaid, but he understood). I was also fixing my car and bought a POS truck while my car was being fixed. However, financially, I could see the light at the end of the tunnel. I was willing to sell the rims for around $600 so I could pay off my debt with Mike. I was only going to deal with cash and in person. However, I received an email from Samantha Joe (Sam) willing to buy the rims. Sam wanted to send a check and then "make arrangements for the pick up" after the check had cleared with the bank. A couple red flags were raised, BUT I Ignored Them. Sam then said that a mover would be picking them up and since I was first on the list, I would be paying the mover. She said the money would be included in the check. Once the check arrived in the mail, I was told that I would be using Money Gram to pay the mover for $2000, which left $400 for me. I figured I would proceed with the transaction and just refuse to give the mover the items until I received the other $200. I then deposited it and waited 24 hours. After 24 hours, I thought the check was good, so I forwarded the money to the mover. After 48 hours, the check came up fraud and I realized what had happened. Then
