was selling golf clubs and this person wanted to send bank check told him cash only no interest

This guys a scam artist. Showed interest in a rental property of mine that was posted on Craigs List...the old "my representative will pay with a cashiers check" scam.  He wants to send you a bogus cashiers check for more than the amount you want and then he wants you to send him back a check for the difference.
In his solicitation to me he presents himself to be Engineer Milburg working for Wessex Survey & Design Ltd UK. His reference is given as a David Richards of the United States Steel Corporation at 832-615-1294.
My question, is anybody really stupid enough to fall for this crap and why hasn't this guy been arrested?  Hello, anybody there at the Houston Police Department or local FBI office?

Yes I got the same song about engineer milburg and found this when i put this phone number in google.  i didn't do a thing so blah blah blah to him.  I was renting a home as well. Thank you Jesus for the Internet. Can I get a Hallelujah.

Yup, this guy calling himself "Ray Taylor" contacted me about my rental on craigslist.  He wanted to pay before coming and wanted the dimensions of all my rooms so that he could have furniture ordered and sent to my house...even though he didn't know the address.  He then told me he was working with A Managerial Engineering Company but would be working with Culligan International Corp here in the states.  He said he had a "financer" that would be paying his bills upon moving here with his wife and 7 year old son. He said that I could send him the lease agreement written up in his name for him to review, but that he wouldn't be signing it until he arrived in the states. He said that he would be working directly with George W. Tamke with Culligan International Corp and that we could contact him at 832-615-1294.  I looked up George Tamke and discovered he is associated with Culligan, but he sits on the board of directors.  He would NEVER be working with a low level grunt on an engineering project.  Boy, what do these idiots with a lot of time on their hands have to gain from all of this?  He never even got to the part about sending me a cashiers check for more than the amount.

The same person contacted me, calling himself John Davies, about my rental advertised on Craigslist. He said he was coming to the states for one year with his wife and daughter. He offered two months rent and security deposit to secure the unit. He said he works for Wessex Survey & Design Ltd UK and during his stay he'll be working with the United States Steel Corporation. For a reference he gave David Richards at 832-615-1294.

Exact same scenero as Bill states above except this time he is calling himself Terry James

This dude did the same thing to me.  Said he was working for a construction company and that he wanted to send me a check.  Never got to the part where he wanted to send me more and then me send back the difference.  The part that worries me is now he has my address.  Should I be worried???   Incredible how sneaky and sick people are!

some one said this number belongs to George E. Tamke.  whose number is this really

some one called saying they are George W Tamke

Same Deal...  How do we make it stop?

Hello Rebecca,

Thanks for your mail, I am indeed serious about renting this unit and will be willing to offer you two month rent to start with plus the security deposit in order to secure this unit prior to my arrival. You can send me the lease application, to enable me to review it ahead of time.

I am an Engineer by profession and I am currently working with Wessex Survey & Design Ltd UK. I will be in the states for the next one year and during my stay I will be working with the United States Steel Corporation on a private construction work. I will be working with David Richards, you can contact him on 832-615-1294.

I have a financier that is based in the States and he will be handling the rent deposit payment on my behalf, I will instruct him to send you a Certified Check for this as soon as you give me the go ahead to make out payment to you.Due to the limited time that we have before our arrival, we are making arrangements with a furniture company to supply the home with furniture's,so we will need you to provide us with the measurements of the living room and bedroom so that we can send it to the furniture company so that they can supply the unit with furniture that will fit in well. Also send me a picture viewing the living room and the bed rooms.

As regards the lease agreement, I want you to send it to me for my review. I will eventually have it filled and signed on my arrival in your place as I am of the opinion that such documents are best filled and signed physically. We can start the lease by Oct 1st and I will be doing a one year lease. You can prepare the lease in my name Eng r. Parker Philedelphus.

Let me know how to move ahead as I intend to complete this deal before I move in a couple of days. I want all the arrangement to be solidified so I settle in comfortably when I arrive. I will let you know the exact date as soon as I get a booking on a flight to the states.

I will look forward to your e mail with the required information.

Thanks and sincere regards from me and my precious family. I await your urgent response.

Eng r. Parker Philedelphus.

Guy tried it with me but for some speakers and sent me a few grand more than what its worth now he is going by peter anson and is doing the same scam but with western union were i am supposed to send him the difference this guy really needs to go down watch out for [***] like this i'm not that dumb but i am sure there are people out there who would fall for something like this

Guy went by Davies Taylor with me...

I just posted in craiglist for rental property. This sounded so good. I just responded to this guy and what made it weird that I got a responsed back quick. That made me google his so call company and this website came out, now that I'm reading the exact thing he wrote, this is a scam.. Thank you everyone here for posting everything this guy is doing. Like craiglist says be careful with those scams out there...

Same here.  Quick response and googled his references.  This site posted.  Thanks.  I was a bit skeptical when he stated he had a financier in the states.
He went by the name of Albert Keane and his "precious" family.

Got the same message as Rebecca. He wanted to rent our unit. This deal was too good to be true so it's not real. Hope somebody catches this freak.

I must have been optimistic about"ALBERT KEANE"  He sent me the exact same as email as rebecca.  I have been emailing back and forth and he has sent me a cashiers check from wachovia bank.  I have not been out any money to date.  The cashiers check is sitting at the bank waiting to be cleared.  What can I do to put a stop to this guy.  googled the reference and found this.

This guy e-mailed me today in regards to my rental, wanted livingroom dimensions so he could order furn, will pay me 2mths rent+dep to send him the lease yahda,yahda, goes by the name this time as Tony Scoot Engineer, working with a David Richards at a number of 206-309-7223. Says he will working a job
with this Mr,Richards for United States Steel Corporation.
There was a number at the bottom of his e-mail,447031833187. he also stated
that he would have his connection here in the states send me a certified check...totally a scam here!!! thank god for some great neighbors I have whos' son is with Lawenforcement.

I just sent my dealing with him, I'm sorry I spelled the last name wrong,,he goes by Tony Scott,today anyway!!

Have a rental in Alaska and received an email about the same as all of you. He is going by Paul Long.  My friend said to forward the email to the Attorney Generals office. I am sure there are some people that are taken in by the scammers.
