Della Martinez Craigslist Check Scam Nationwide
I am sharing my Craigslist experience that turned out to be a scam to prevent anyone else from making the same mistake. I placed an ad on Craig List to sell items for $325. I was contacted by Della Martinez to buy the items. Of course, after stating she wanted to buy the items, she stated she was "out of town on business" as a "fashion designer". She wanted to send me a check for the items and asked me to hold them. She mailed a check to me with the return address of the actual Post Office in Flagler Miami, FL for $2020. She text me when she received notification that the check arrived to tell me that I need to go to my bank to cash it and to use the rest for the "moving company" that needs to come pick up the items TODAY. The check felt like plain paper with no watermarks or bank contact information. The check is supposed to be from TD Bank as an Official Check. The whole thing seemed highly suspicious so I googled her. Thank goodness I did because I saw others had the exact same experience with this woman trying to get others to commit bank fraud and send her the rest of the cash. Next I called TD Bank customer service and they were able to confirm it was indeed a fake. I asked them to flag this woman's name for future callers. Others online have reported that she asks them to cash these fake checks and Western Union the funds to her. Once the bank determines the checks are fake the person who got suckered into cashing it is liable for bank fraud! BEWARE!
