You hear about Coloradans becoming victims of on-line scams everyday. But you don't often hear about the victim getting even.

Old adage - If it sounds too good to be true, it is.

[Patty]

Good for her, I am so sick of these people who are ripping off hard working people. They need to be taken down You go girl

[icewolf]

cj is right on. And CraigsList is just overflowing with scammers, usually located in other countries.

That whole site needs to be shut down.

[mel]

Until he reads this story and disappears.

[Sandra]

Good for her. My son was a victim as well and we tried contacting authorities and nothing was ever done. It's about time that these no good theives get what they deserve. KUDOS KUDOS!!

[heather]

[SickofScammersTo o]

Good for her! That's awesome. I'm sick of getting responses to my craig's list postings and responses. I wish I would have thought of that when I got two fake money orders...

I tried to sell a bed on craigslist and some @sshole told me he wanted me to ship it to him. Probably the same guy. Be wary of anyone who would send you extra money and want you to ship a $200.00 bed across the country. I blew him off and told him to rent a UHAUL and come and get it with CASH IN HAND. Never heard from him again.

wow ~ good job chick!

This is stupid and irresponsible of KDVR to post this until this scum bag is caught. Does KDVR not think that crooks read or check online for weather, etc? Why not wait until s/he is caught?

[duh]

if you get scammed you deserve it. these people that do the scamming pray on suckers and they are a dime a dozen. if you cant figure out its a good deal and somethings admist.....well have fun losing money

[really]

Seems dumb to post this story in such detail with an ongoing federal investigation.

[Sister]

I wonder if 9 news did there homework on AmberRay or her mother Teresa try looking in Araphoe County under check scams and see if AmberRay Snyder or Teresa Alexander's name pop up cause these two were both charged with multiple felony check fraud cases so I wonder who's scaming who?

[Confused]

Huh......What's really going on here???? Why would a scammer (if they were really that good) send someone a $2200.00 dollar check for a $200.00 dollar futon?????? Really doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Who buys a futon for $2200.00?????? What was the scammer really getting out of this???????

[Annie Ominous]

Oh that is just too rich. I know that person, and she is quite the character.

In the words of P.T. Barnum, "There's a sucker born every minute." That's why this country is in the shape it is and the reason the rich keep getting richer. They have something between their ears that's bigger than a walnut.

[Someone who knows Amberay]

Amberay is the scammer. She has stolen and pawned things from my home, after us letting her stay with us. She conviced us that her mother was a terrible person and she had nowhere to go. Her mother told me, "to watch it, Amberay has been stealing since she was a child." I learned a valuable lesson. Don't trust anyone. Even the person you think has been scammed!
