A resident of Nurick Drive stated that he was attempting to sell an armoire on Craigslist for $525. An unknown party contacted him through text and stated that he wanted the item and would send him a check via the mail and have movers pick up the piece after the check cleared. He agreed and when he received the check in the mail he deposited it in his account. He noticed that the check was written for $2,150 and, when he asked the suspect about the extra amount, the suspect stated that the rest was to cover delivery fees. After the check cleared, the man was contacted by the suspect again who instructed him to go to Walmart and take out gift cards. At this point the local man became suspicious and, upon a closer look at the check and finding it was from S. Conley Sales Inc, he contacted the company. Officials there informed him that he was being scammed and that they were already dealing with the problem on their end. He then contacted his bank to inform them of the situation, which is when he was instructed to call police.
