Everybody be very skeptical if you're selling something on Craigslist and somebody wants to buy it and they said we'll send you a check in my case they actually sent me a check almost $4,000 over the price of the motorcycle I was selling. The guy contacted me and said well I sent you the extra amount so you can pay for the shipping he lived out on the East Coast someplace supposedly. So anyway I got his check deposit it into my checking account at B of A who I've been a customer for over 50 years and B of A told me that the check had cleared on that Wednesday I deposited this Saturday before that they said it had cleared and I could withdraw it or debit with it. My account had over $10,000 in it and it was about $5,940 the guy sent me. Anyway the guy wanted to go ahead and pay for the shipping since he knew the shipping company for the motorcycle himself and he said could you just refund the money that I overpaid you for. I go no problem the check cleared today it's in my account so I'll send you back your money I tried to send it from home a bank transfer it didn't seem to work so I sent him a Zella $1,000. I went down to the bank and the teller tells me she goes if that's a Craigslist ad it's probably a scam it's the guy overpaid you I go well how could be a scam the check clear today and it says it's all in my account and it's available for withdrawal she goes no you've been with us for a long time and that's a courtesy it's not really clear it's got another 5 days before it could be withdrawn or rode on. Needless to say I filed a complaint with Bank of America and they basically said I shouldn't be sending money to people I don't know I said well you told me to check it cleared is the only reason why I sent him $1,000 back and he wanted the other almost $3,000 also which obviously I didn't send. So I made a police report full police report on this guy's information and my bank B of A said well we contacted his bank that the Thousand was sent to and there was inadequate funds in his account so I guess you're out $1,000 mister! Obviously guys a professional scammer and wouldn't leave that money in the account that he's having scam money sent to. Needless to say that pisses me off B of A working with scammers and lying to me about the check clearing and saying it's because I'm a good customer is why they lied to me. Be very leery of B of A don't believe anything they say!
