davidleroy19701970@gmail.com - Hello, just so that you know, this phone number is a scam - (951) 821-6726 person goes by the name of Norwood David Leroy. He claims to be deaf and can only email or text. In my opinion, he's targeting women since he claimed to want to buy the cemetery properties and insisted to mail me the cashier's check. I never gave him my address. Once I told him to take the cashier's check to the cemetery, he disconnected his phone and didn't email anymore. |

(this
comment has been modified by The Cemetery Exchange for privacy).
I received a text from 716 980-1363 wanting to buy my cemetery property. 716 is Buffalo. Fake check came from California. "John" tried to be very convincing, telling me there was a slight delay in our transaction because he needed one more grave near my four and was negotiating with someone to buy that one also. He even said he would meet me at the cemetery to look at my graves together - wonder how that would have worked out? Anyhow, I texted back that I was living in Texas. He told me to call him immediately when I received the check due to a problem. He made the fake check for $2000 over the sales price. He isn't a very good scammer as I immediately knew the check was fake. Note check number in upper right corner. Note that same number encoded on the bottom left corner where the bank routing number is supposed to be. "John" needs to brush up on his scamming skills.
Thanks for alerting other sellers to "John." |

- Hi Bob,
Thanks for the mail, I really appreciate your prompt reply... First, I'm okay with your asking price which included the transfer fee, We are in need of the plot for the burial of my father who we lost. The Corpse is currently in Mortuary, so we decided to bring him for final rest. I am not around at the moment because I have an assignment I need to take care of and I need to be there in person, so pls bear with me and lets finish this sale as I have make all arrangements. I will instruct my client to issue out a Cashier's Check to you, It takes 1-2 working days to clear a Cashier's Check, so be rest assured that Check must clear before anything. then I will bring in the Corpse for the burial and exchange of deed for Approval to Transfer Cemetery Property to our family as soon as the check is clear at your bank. So when you get the payment you are to deduct your $6,250 our agreed price and send the remaining funds on the Check to my casket man. You are to also deduct $100 from the money for the stress and hazzle you may go through in cashing and wire the remaining funds to my casket man details and also I know that it's not an easy task to do for me but please NOTE that I really need your favor by doing this for me and I will be highly appreciated. if you can help me with this task to makes my plan easier way as I have arranged it as I am not around at this moment.....so I'm sure you can await the payment in the mail, It will be sent to the Information you will provide for me as requested below: Name: Do I entrust you with wiring of the differences to my casket man? If Yes Can you remove the ad posting and consider it sold to me and ill appreciate if you can do that today ok.. I will be looking forward to read from you, I will be checking my email often to keep in touch with you. Regard. |
