Rich at Refurbished LLC wanted to buy a sofa I listed on craigslist. He said he would send a check which he did. The fake check for $1, 801.00 was to pay for the sofa ($200.00) and then I was to pay the trucker who came to pick it up the balance, except for $50.00 to me for my "trouble!" Fortunately I didn't bite but came close. My banker tells me the check is a fake.

Refurbished LLC answered my "for sale" ad on craigslist. Wanted to buy my sofa. Mailed me a fake check for way more than the amount of the sofa and wanted me to cash it and then give the trucker who would come to my house to pick up the sofa the amount due the trucker ($1, 550)!!! And I could keep $50 for my trouble. Emails were done in poor English. Check came from California. When I got cold feet, Rick tried to reassure me that it was fine and that he would come himself except that he is too busy. Someone at my bank told me the check is definitely a fake.
