Scam Email: Tonya Denise Goodloe
This scam email is almost funny in how desperate and aggressive it is. Really desperate. Way too aggressive.
The same guy emailed me about a craigslist.com post. I didn't fall for it, Thank God! Here's what the email looked like:

================
Okay, so I fell for it...sent my name, address, city, zip code and phone number....but all of that I have sent on craigs list before...what should I do now? Exact same thing as you...
ReplyDeleteI fell for it as well. I called the FBI and local law enforcement agency
DeleteWell, if you insist the check be sent overnight, you will at least force them to spend a little money, and knowing it is a scam, you can then ignore them once they've sent the check. No need to try and even verify it is a fake - it is.
ReplyDeleteBut that is about all you can do. Or just ignore the whole thing now. At least you haven't lost any money at this point.
Same guy responded to me just now from a craigs list post. I said, you may as well go buy a new product near you for my price and the shipping your gonna pay. NO RESPONSE. HAHAHAHAHA What an idiot. I want to sell my product but I am not that desperate as to believe he would spend that kind of money shipping a used item that far when he could get a brand new one from the nearest department store. Don't fall for this please. ITS A COMPLETE SCAM!!! Thanks for this website, just made me feel 100% better about the response I sent him.
ReplyDeleteI've been seeing a bunch of scams with scammers fishing through Craigslist ads today.
ReplyDeleteYeah, the scam has really nothing to do with what you are selling or where you are located. It is only about can they get you to accept receiving a check from them (which will turn out to be false but you might not know that right away, and always for more than what they "owe") and then get you to send the "difference" back to them via Western Union (and your money will be good). That is the crux of what they are after. The rest they really don't care about.
Same thig for us, this just arrived today 11/26/2010. est to do call your local authorities.....
ReplyDeleteHelloHow are you doing this morning,I just call Ups to confirm thepackage and they told me that the payment will deliver to youtoday.Here is the UPS tracking number (J205 248 021 4) Once you have the check,I will like you to go ahead and cash itinstantly in your bank or you may deposit the check into your accountor you can take it to any cashing store place to cash it instantly.Assoon as you have the cash in hand i will instruct you to deduct moneyfor the item,Plus $100 for your running around,$20 for the Gas fees totransfer the balance,The remaining Balance should be transfer to theshipper via Western Union Money Transfer today so that they can beable to come for the pick up f the item immediatly he did pick themoney up at Western Union office.Here is the shipper information tohave the balance send too......... NAME..Tonya Denise GoodloeADDRESS..16539 South Main StreetLos Angeles CA 90018 Please do take care of everything this morning before 2.pm today cos iam moving to other state tomorrow and they will be coming for the pickup today immediately you have transfer the money, i will be glad if wecan complete the transaction today.Please i have apologies for thistransaction to make everything done today.As soon as the money hasbeen wired to the shipper i will request for the transfer details andalso your map quest to easy for Tonya Denise to arrive there.Regard
rush rush rush - that is definitely one of their techniques. I said to one rushie scammer, get that check sent overnight and they did, and then I ignored all their emails and they found my phone number online and called me and - here's a funny part - threatened to turn ME into the authorities. I told them great and I'm recording the phone calls and actually have a person at the police department I'm working with. That ended the back and forth immediately.
ReplyDeleteJust because someone says you have to move fast.... doesn't mean you have to.
Hello,
ReplyDeleteI just received contact from a scammer named Barbara Ann Briggs. She said she was terminally ill and had contacted me because she had one million five hundred thousand dollars and wanted to give it to me. The money was in London (all in cash) and I could have 20% for myself. She even referred me to her attorney. When you google her she has at least been trying since May to pull off her scam. In may she told someone the amount was one million nine hundred thousand.
This is actually a different type of scam. Why they think saying such a large unbelievable number is going to work... well, what am I saying - they've been using this one for YEARS so they must be successfully getting victims with it.
ReplyDeleteThis technique of scam is usually referred to as the "advanced fee" scam. The number is large - the percentage you get to keep of it is large but then there will turn out to be some small "processing fee" (or whatever excuse they come up with at this point) that you need to cover before receiving the money. The goal is to get people to send that advanced fee via Western Union and then they disappear.
It's a little different than the scams we see targeted to artists pretending to buy their art, but it is good to be alerted and aware of ALL scams! Thanks!
I just got the same scam email for my Craiglist item. I'm glad i thought this was weired. Why would someone buy a refrigerator that they never seen before and ship it to CA? he used two different emails to contact me and here they are:

ReplyDeleteFrom Terry M. Johnson
Had the same thing with this Terry guy and one other person. I told them that if they wanted to purchase my item and have it shipped, they can go onto Amazon.com and order it through there.... no reply hahaha
DeleteSame Guy!!!
DeleteHe state he was DEAF... what a prick!!
I got him to mail me the payment OVERNIGHT and then it was here next day, I saw the amount he paid USPS ($32.00) hahahahaha
then i scanned the check to a file and emailed it to the FBI
You must send a COPY of the email you get and a copy of the actua SPOOF payment...
oh that is lovely! Not only did you get him to spend $32 shipping the check (kudos), but he sent it via USPS so a crime has actually been committed because that counterfeit check is now mail fraud. Your local Postal Inspector would probably take your information on this scammer, too.
DeleteI just had the same thing happen to me. Do all of us a favor and fight this guy/girl. And try to stop this scamming. Its sad that you can't trust anyone any more. Go to: http://www.ic3.gov/default.aspx
ReplyDeleteThis is the FBI Internet Crime Reporting Website. Its easy to do and any information you can give will help fight this guy and put him behind bars.
same guy just emailed me too i copy and pasted his adress and name and googled him so now i see hes a scam artist thanks for this site
ReplyDeleteGot the same one this week.. Why won't these people just get a life and stop harassing other people???
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately because for *very* little cost (it cost nothing to send out millions of emails - if each one required a stamp, there'd be a whole lot less of them), they can make a LOT of money from victims.
ReplyDeleteAnd it the goal of my blog to reduce the number of "successful" victims as much as possible.
Glad to see you didn't get caught in it.
same s..t here i cant stand this stupid idot i cant believe they just cant get a real job LOSER
ReplyDeleteThese are automated "fishing" type inquiries for any new Craigslists posts. Might be some loser at the top end waiting for replies but it's all done by bots until you respond a few times is my guess.
ReplyDeleteIt pays to do some checking. Thanks for the update and info. Cheers
ReplyDeleteG
this same person did it to me. but idk what to do??
ReplyDeleteDon't do anything. Don't reply. Don't think its a real request. It is not. Just delete it and move on. They send out so many of these and hardly care about those that never reply. They are after tricking those who do reply. Just delete it.
ReplyDeleteI just got Terry's check. Fortunately, my fraud detector is on, and I thought the whole thing was weird from the start. How can I report this?
ReplyDeleteI have some links in the upper right-hand column that you can use, but really there isn't much that can be done until there is actual financial loss (and even then, these agencies often just log it) but that is way too late for me - it's why I started this blog. I didn't see a way to intervene earlier in the process other than to post all the scam emails people send me (and that I get myself) so others can search online and find validation that what they've received is also a scam.
ReplyDeleteWell i was the sucker, he got me for 2000 dollars and almost another 1500. Im stupid. The funny thing is that i am a veteran with 2 kids a wife and a home. Do these people seriously not care that they will rob the very person who makes it possible for them to do what they are doing? i guess so.
ReplyDeleteChristopher,
ReplyDeleteI am SO sorry to hear you became a victim. That sucks! And it breaks my heart. Ack. Please use the links I have provided in the upper right-hand column of this blog and report your situation. Clearly there is now a crime that has been committed and you should report it.
And by the way, - no, they do not care. They are amoral and lack the ability to know right from wrong or have a conscience. That is why we must help one another to keep them from getting more victims.
Just got the same Terry M. Johnson one thru Craig's list terryj822@gmail.com. The format was identical to the one listed above.
ReplyDeleteoh ole terr, just try to work one on me, but due to the fact that some other friggin idiot con artist just try to work me I didn't fall for it.....thank you guys for your previous post.....
ReplyDeleteHe just did it to me.. luckily i caught it sooner than latter because he already has my name addrss and cell number.. but I started to feel fishy about it and started doin some detective work. So atleast I didnt get scamed... attempt - denied !!!
ReplyDeleteThat is *exactly* how I'd like to see it go for everyone... that ultimately they are denied. Thanks for sharing your success story. Glad you didn't fall for it.
ReplyDeleteI was on to him right from the begining, but I thought it was funny when he said he was going to send a check and never did. A month later, probably because I'm still trying to sell my van, he sends me another email notifying me the check is on the way and gave me the name of another shipper. I tried to find him and both shippers, but surprisingly (only because there is so many people in world and his name is not that unique) I couldn't find them listed anywhere. I did get his check this time--its still on my kitchen table--and now he is threatening me. Some nerve?! Well, I hope his relative at the Sheriff's office gets him (us) some results faster than my complaint to the FBI and FTC.

Thanks now we have a deal but this transaction will be done

reaches you as that will be a lost on me.I believe I can count on you
so I will include the shipping and insurance fee along with your
payment.When payment arrives,you will deduct your payment with an
extra $100 for your run around while cashing the check,then the rest
funds goes to the shipper and pick up will be made as your
convenience.The shipper is also responsible for some other pick up for
me (2 cars,a trailer,wedding ring and a computer) but I dont want to
pay for a service not done.I will later email you the shipper info and
tracking number so you'll be available on delivery. Mailing this check
will cost me $36,please I want sincerity & let me know immediately the
payment delivers.

Ok, now that I have seen this, I have turned this into the FBI. I got the same email just yesterday! From the same person. Did you notice that they changed their email address? Did you turn them in for what they did?
ReplyDeleteI just got an email from the same email address (terryj822@gmail.com)under the name of Terry Son. I replied saying I still had the item he was inquiring about but I'm so glad I googled his email address and found all of this. I'm not sure I would have fallen for it anyway because I can be very skeptical at times and would never give out any personal information. This guy is an ass. I hope they lock him up for a long time!
ReplyDeleteI just recieved an email from terry johnson as well with a message about his wedding and being tight on time. he would send a check and he would send an extra 50 for my time running around.......same as most of you. his address he used for me, 5 minutes ago was 10100 silver mountain austin tx. 78737 god is good at the bottom of email.............hopefully this guy will be caught. what a creep!!!!!!! email addy
ReplyDeleteHahaha The internet is good! This 'terry johnson' sent the exact same email with the wedding bullshit...i really hope this guy goes behind bars
ReplyDeleteokay seriously why aren't the fbi, or the internet crime stoppers doing anything to catch this person it's been so many monthssss, i just got the email from this guy/girl. they also used this email.
ReplyDeletejasmainewton@gmail.com
terryj822@gmail.com
Okay i am kind of scared because I gave out my address to one of the scammers, they had replied with a good story. I will most likely get the check tomorrow. What should I do?????
ReplyDeleteIt's okay. You've made them spend a little money to send the check. Just stop all conversation now. You don't even need to let them know you know its a scam. Rip up the check or take it to your bank and ask if they keep track of these fraudulent checks and if they want it.
ReplyDeleteYour email will end up on lists maybe and you'll get more of these but now you're educated on it so you'll be able to treat them as spam.
Good you realized what it was now!

this person send me a check for $2500 when the product i was selling was for $500, and wanted me to transfer the money through western union. I knew it was something fishy, so I just ripped the check, and never responded back to him.
Just got the same email from Terry! Deleting now. Thanks all!

i got the exact same e-mail haha this guy isnt very smart though. i googled his address, 1783 ashwood drive Jasper, in 47546, and there is nothing there. How stupid!
ReplyDeleteYeah, they are kind of counting on people not doing their due diligence and researching this stuff. I'm glad slowly people are getting into the habit of googling stuff first BEFORE they lose any money or items.
ReplyDeleteAnd we'll all just keep posting our emails so when someone does google it, there is confirmation out there to help inform them. Thanks for sharing your experience.

My husband just received a check from our good friend Terry. I knew it was a scam all along but my husband refused to believe me. To prove it I googled his name and found you guys! Obviously we're not cashing the check, but is there anything else I should do? Makes me REALLY nervous.
ReplyDeleteYou can turn the check into your local bank and see if they want to do anything with it. Other than that, there is not much you can do... but good for you for trusting your instincts and searching on it online before sending any money.
ReplyDeleteOne less victim for the scammers! Hurrah!
I know this is a scam, got the same "wedding" e-mail about a Fender Stratocaster I'm selling (it's $900 btw =)).
ReplyDeleteI knew it was a scam from the beginning, but I'm still glad I came here to learna little more...
So, if I got this right, what happens is, say my guitar is $900, and I get a check for $1500...Since I'm supposed to mail back the difference, they give you "fake money" and walk away with $600 of my real dollars?
Exactly. You've learned well, grasshopper...

I got all the way to the bank and after calling Terry's "bank" found out the check was fake...My Deaf friend Terry said that he would get his buddy in FBI Fraud unit to "get me"...LOL...I told him that i would call the REAL FBI and have his friend arrested for impersonating a Federal Agent...cricket cricket...whats that sound....snap..NO TERRY.
ReplyDeleteI have been stringing "Terry" on for a while, just to see how far he will be willing to go. I congratulated him on his upcoming wedding. Told him I was sorry that he had to go visit his sick daughter and hoped she gets better. I did tell him that I am familiar with the TTY for the deaf system and that he could call me. Number is listed in the craigslist ad, but I seriously doubt he even knows what item he is trying to scam me about. He has threatened to call his cousin in the FBI (actually gave me a valid address/phone number for a Florida office) if I ignored him. I do think that after 18 emails and about a month, he is somewhat frustrated and about to cut his time investment in me. Woe is me. :)

I just an email about this: terryj822@gmail.com may be the guy act the same scam reply from Craigslist.org that I posted item.
ReplyDeleteThis guy sure gets around from the comments I've read above. The email address he seems to be using a lot (terryj822@gmail.com) bounces from state to state. The name he used on me though, is Page T. Romney - perhaps the T stands for Terry.
ReplyDeleteI knew he was trying to scam me when I received his second email (the first was just to ask if the item was still available). The emails came in quickly, so I knew he was online. I played along at first, and told him I'd be happy to follow through with the deal if he was willing to send me a postal money order instead because our bank is far out of my way and the post office is nearby. The response didn't come back quick like the others did, so I sent a follow up email that went like this:
~~~~~~
By the way,
I know you won't respond to that last email I sent about the postal money order... you may get to some people with your scam, but I know how to use the internet too, and you may be interested to know that Google works wonders for your attempted victims, who are eagerly getting the word out about people like you that take advantage of people that work hard for what they have instead of emailing people all day hoping to catch someone off guard.
Now, you send me a money order, and I'll get the item to you, otherwise, leave my craigslist posts alone, along with everyone else's and spend your scamming time hunting for a REAL job so someone out there can have a reason to be proud of you.
Thanks again.

I love messing with these scammers, ofcourse i dont waste too much of my free time on it, but every know and then (i sell alot of items) i like to toy with them. Sometime i'll give them a fake name and address and then when they send the check i pretend like i have no idea what they're talking about. I act as though I don't even have a craigslist ad and I'm not selling anything...this makes them soo confused and upset, & highly aggressive...i continue to pretend as though someone stole my email address and posted a fake ad on craigslist....
ReplyDeleteSome may ask why, whats the point but to me its like when someone breaks into a house and steals nothing. This messes with the victim even more then if something was stolen, they sit and wonder for years, why did they break in??? Did they steal something that we don't know about?? It drives them crazy. This is what i'm kind of doing with these scammers, just confuse the hell out of 'em, to the point when they're sitting there wondering why someone would steal an email address, post a fake ad on craigslist, and then accept a fake check...why???? Am i being scammed?
I don't know, but it gives me a good laugh when they respond soo confused and upset, they act like someone just stole their money!

Good thing I saw this before anything happened:
ReplyDeleteHi! Mike, thanks for your reply. I am still interested and believing no one has bought it yet and that is why I am offering to pay the full price on the ad. I am very busy I will not be able to see it. If the picture you showed on the ad is what it is, then I think we have no problem with it otherwise, there is something new you would like to say about its condition. I will send you a bank check for both the actual and shipping cost. Don't worry, I will do the searching for a private transporter that you will pay when they come for the pick up. If we are moving ahead,email me back with the name and address for the cashier check.
Lisa..
I obviously emailed her cancelling the check she was going to send tomorrow
THANKS EVERYONE
Had two attempts in one day from different emails for the same item on craigslist. This was the first "conversation."
ReplyDeletepraiselove1@gmail.com
Hello, i want to know if you still have this post for sale and the present condition including some pics if there is...get back asap Thanks.
I replied that it is still available and I get this
"Am ok with the price and the condition, am buying it for my personal use because i’ll be back at home soon leaving our site as am into Forest management and presently in the Forest. i won’t be able to come for the inspection due to the nature of my work and i would have love to call in personally but we have call restriction here due to rules given to us and am only having chance to email you when am on my PC doing some research. i will be paying you through PayPal, pls get back to me with your PayPal details so i can proceed with the payment and once payment has been made i have a pickup agent who will come to pick it up and deliver it to my place. kindly end auction on site.

In this one, they used two emails. The first praiselove1@gmail.com and the second was jscorie04@gmail.com.
The second scammer just started. I only got the initial "is this available" email when I decided to go ahead and google his email address first...and lo and behold it is the infamous "Terry"
I eagerly await his response..I'm sure it's similar.
"...presently in the Forest" - I love that. The Forest of cluelessness... scammers are so dumb. And that's a plus for us because it always raises red flags.
ReplyDeleteGlad you didn't get caught by this scammer. Thanks for writing in and sharing.
Wow, I just got the same scam mail from Terryj822@gmail.com (a.k.a. Paige T. Romney, a.k.a. Compromart). Good thing I found this site before giving up any details (other than my gmail account. But that is why I have it: just for Craig's List stuff, so I can always shut it down).
ReplyDeleteFYI: I got a similar one from "bentchris48@yahoo.com":
Oh am stuck at work now and my pick up agent will get to you for the picked up once the payment is send to your paypal account...am already contented with the pictures i saw on craigslist... Let me know if you can send me your paypal email, name and phone number...with that i can send the fund to you and my moving company Will get to you for the picked up of the wheel chair once you get your certified fund.

Wow, that forest must be crowded! I received the identical email from john scorie. He even set up a fake profile indicating forestry at a local college!
ReplyDeleteI received one today from Compromart aka Terry aka Page, exactly same wording as many above (including the "deaf" reference). Ignoring it. However, after seeing from these comments that this has been going on well over a year, can't help but wonder why they haven't caught this idiot yet.
ReplyDeleteLots of reason, actually. For the most part, scammers know to stay "under the radar". Unless the financial loss is really great, authorities don't put priority on it. They also hijack other people's servers to send out their email and so tracing them down is difficult. And it is likely the scammer comes from a foreign country where it would be difficult to pursue and prosecute.
ReplyDeleteAnd they know all this, unfortunately...
They just responded to my Craigslist ad. I emailed a response and less than 5 seconds later I got a reply! It was obviously automated as no human could have read and replied that fast. The response was very similar to others I've read here. Definitely a scam !!!
ReplyDeleteI just received an email response to a boat I am selling on craigslist from praiselove1. I googled his name which brought me to this site. Needless to say I won't be responding. and ThankYou Katie Moe for this site. Below is their email.
ReplyDeleteHello,
i want to know if you still have this post for sale and the present condition including some pics if there is...get back asap

I wrote him a nice response. I love messing with people.
Ok. Some things you should know though since you won't be seeing it in person. Here's some details we couldn't put in the listing.
The place has an infestation of Pthirus pubis, also known as crabs, and you and your wife will almost certainly get them should you rent out the space. Also, there's a lot of leaks coming from the ceiling, the unit next door has someone who practices playing the banjo for about five hours a day, there's really nasty mold on the ceiling but nothing some cleaner shouldn't take off.
Also, we've trained a pack of three pit bulls to watch the property and protect the units at all times. Just make sure you don't stare at them in the eyes as they have a "pack mentality" as what animal services instructed us after the last unfortunate incident.
If this is ok, I'll gladly send the information you need. I'm happy that you and your wife are happy with the space and look forward to receiving the check.
I received the same email from Page t Nelson...I called the tel # and it was a free one way number only dial out...I sent the scammer an email saying I wanted to talk to him and he said he was deaf...I do not have time to waste with these scammers and forwarded the scam letter to the Boston FBI office...Thanx for this site to check out this low-lifw
ReplyDeleteWhat I don't understand is why the same email addresses? I think most people out here know scam emal...
ReplyDeleteScammers are all about the numbers and about the maximum return for the least amount of effort. If the use of the same name is getting them continuing victims and money, they don't need to change it up. Even if so many of us recognize it as a scam email, sadly - really sadly, there are so many people continuing to fall for these and lose money. A scammer will immediately change up their fake identity and create yet another disposable email account if they have to, but they'll keep using the same one as long as it keeps bringing results.
ReplyDeleteSad, yes?
lol its a complete scammer but i'm trying to scam the scammer see if he'll send me 30 dollars through WU to initialize payment ha lol
ReplyDeleteoh, that's very funny - you'll have to let us know if it works. I'm guessing most won't, but really it would be so funny to run across a scammer who would, on the promise of a bigger payout on his end. Very funny.
ReplyDeleteI've got him now, I just left a previous post of the current situation. Here's his current info. Mine is Joe, email at Nailor3@hotmail.com. Anyone have any ideas to toy with this guy if within the next 4 or 5 days?

Ah yes, the Most Holy Rev. Page T. .Newton... I get one of these about every two weeks from my business CL posts and for the entertainment value, I play along until I get the "check". I agree with the person on one of the earlier posts, I'll waste some of their time and money, that is the cost of their "business" plus, I am a FedEx shareholder!
ReplyDelete...here's how I handled "Ms. Karen Foley Scammer Extraordinaire" - mt e-mail to her follows:
ReplyDeleteSo, deposited your check….then, I was feelin lucky, so I went to the casino and played the slots….won $4,700.00 yippee! So, when the bank calls to verify that your check isn’t worth the paper it is written on, I have the $2,000.00 to pay them back plus the $2,700.00 I won using your fraudulent funds…worked out great for me…
Have a sparkling day!

ReplyDeleteTranslation: "I'm going to trick you into wiring me your good money and thinking the money I send you is good... but it is not. And then I am going to disappear and go find another victim. Ha Ha"
That is how scammers think.
Glad to see you didn't fall for this one.
This person is still at it. I got an email from a craigslist AD this week, with the same email address. I am not worried abut giving out my address because I am a registered and I sent him an estimate for work to be done on 4 laptops. Why would I have to send my contact info in an email when it is already on my estimate.....dumb. And why would anyone ship laptops back and forth to get repairs that could be done in their city.
ReplyDeleteOne must be diligent when transacting business and follow up with a little basic investigation.

This guy is still doing his thing in 2013. Notice that the first e-mail was sent from a different e-mail address and all remaining e-mails were sent by the Terryj822. Be warned!
Initially sent a sms text message from 407-337-9757 telling me he was an American Airlines flight attendant and want to purchase my exercise bike immediately but the only way he could pay was via Paypal so he needed my paypal email address to send payment. Immediate red flag was that he was willing to send money and immediately arrange for pickup. He requested my address which I did not provide because I search online and found that he has used this same name, phone number and story about being a flight attendant before.
