Please be advised that a police report has been filed against a scam perpetraited by an individual seeking to buy products sold on Kingwood.com, such as furnshings and higher value items. The checks forwarded to pay for these items are over the amount agreed upon with a request that the remainder amount be forwarded to another individual or company. This is illegal and puts at risk the seller for money laundering. Please inquire from your banking institution before depositing any checks that may be innacurate with regard to the agreed to amount, even if it is in a cashier's check. The current scam perpetraitor is going by the name of Christopher Siegl, however this in only one alias of many. If you have already been targeted by this individual or by a similar scam please contact the authorities and your bank to protect yourself from involvement. 4951
