This number, +19178770377, is a clear red flag for a Craigslist scam. The caller, often identifying as "Margaret," targets sellers by expressing interest in items like furniture. They send a bogus cashier’s check for an amount higher than the asking price, claiming it’s to cover shipping or moving costs. The scam relies on the victim depositing the check and wiring the excess money back, only to find out later that the check is fake. The caller avoids phone calls and uses excuses like being deaf or deployed. If you receive such a call, be cautious and verify the check with the bank before sending any money. Don’t fall for their elaborate stories and always trust your instincts.
