I received a text message a few days ago from a random long number and it had said that someone was interested in me sitting there child. I emailed the person and I looked him up on google and a women had said she had been scammed by him before. I do have the emails, I'm very scared because he may know my address. He for sure has my area code and city/state I live in I believe. He sent me a picture of "him and his family" and nothing seems true. I don't know what to do. I have not emailed him back and he has not tried to contact me again. Please help!

Thank you

This statement makes it a scam. The scammer wants to send you a fake check. Then have you cash it and forward your money to him. He wants to steal your money.

Thank you so much! Can the scammer still get to me knowing my phone number, city, and state? I'm thinking I should go to the police I'm very scared about this situation!

The scammer is overseas (most likely in Africa or the Far East) and will have texted a number of people advertising on the website.

Just do as Bryon says and stop all contact and you've got nothing to worry about.

Please do not tell scammers that they are listed here - it will take them seconds to change their fake details and their new details will not be listed for any future victims to find.

The scammer is quite obviously African and most likely has never been in Virginia (where the phone number is).
