Scam - James Copeland <[email protected]>

This came through Sulekha to but my household item i listed in moving sell :
This person send $2000 check and asking encash check.Take $400 and pay remaining $1600 to some shipper . This is clear scam .

Hi sorry i have been very busy working day and night on the field with my
team and network reception is very bad cos we are in rural/small village at
the moment here is tracking # *947x1x169932xx193816x1* < modified to protect privacy> MW.of the Check by USPS

Like i said you don't have to worry about the shipping i have arranged with
the shipping guys that moving all my stuffs to the new home to come for the
pick up after you confirm you have the funds so do deposit the check for
your bank to process it besides there is an extra fund on the check,the
excess funds the shippers will use to cover bills and logistics to enable
them pick the items after you have your payment because i have couple of
other heavy items they are picking up for me at another location that i
purchased for the new home so they are picking up all the items together in
one trip.

Keep an eyes on the mailbox please and do let me know once it delivered and
deposit the check for me to call my account officer to authorize and speed
up the process so that the funds would be available in your account
immediately or within 24hrs of deposit,you can deposit the check at any ATM
near you in case you are too busy to go to the bank (mail /call/text me).


Thanks,

Hello itsam1 ,
thanks for posting this information. Please post the email address the scammer is using to help others who may be searching for information on this scam.

Please take a copy of the email along with the original envelope and the check to your local post office. The USPS will follow up on these fake check senders.

If you have any additional questions please ask.

I posted an item for sale this afternoon and got a response from this email address. Thanks to your website, I knew it was a scammer. Sure enough, a few minutes later, his email about the check blah blah followed!
I received a few other similar emails, from other people - how do I add those email addresses to the list of scammers?
