Abingdon Virginia Police Are Warning Residents To Beware Of A Potential Craiglist Scam. The Seller Posts An Item On The Website; The Scammer Will Pretend To Be Interested In Buying It And Will Mail A Fraudulent Check For An Amount Over The Asking Price And Ask The Victim To Cash The Check And Send The Leftover Money To A Location. If You Receive One Of These Checks, Police Recommend You Call A Bank And Verify Its Validity Before Trying To Cash It.
