Hey guys and gals! Beware of people offering you $$ ABOVE and BEYOND what you're asking for items for sale on any of this site's classifieds! I 'almost' got taken by someone who wanted to pay me full asking price for some speakers I've got for sale on here. The "catch" was that this guy buying wanted his 'client' to pay me directly, in an amount NEARLY DOUBLE what I was asking, the difference between which I was to get a cashier's check or money order to his "shipper"! If this sounds fishy to you, it did to me as well!! Needless to say, I also have the speakers (BOZAK CONCERT GRANDS) listed on ebay, and I stupidly de-listed them, before realizing this guy was a 'rip-off artist'...Anyway, his email was k.melvin@mcrmail.com. I've contacted the webmaster of the email site, in hopes that they might 'catch' this guy. But, BEWARE!!! There are multiple websites out there warning of CASHIER CHECK FRAUD!! NOTE BELOW WEBLINKS!
Follow Ups:
Hey the same thing happened to me. The check was coming from England for too much and I was to send him back the difference.
same thing, ... check from england, this was for a used car i was selling, .. i declined
I had 4 of these clowns contact me after posting a sale here.
Got one to send me the check via FedEx, which from Lagos, Nigeria (via tracking) costs $62, which he/she paid in cash. I told them my religion forbids me to accept that check due it's color(!?!) and they've said they'll send another. We'll see, maybe I can funnel another $62 out of them. Let you know if it works.Bottom line, of course, is if it smells fishy, it probably is.
The unfortunate consequence of this crap is the extreme paranoia it left me with when dealing with a legit buyer in Canada (dealing with that was still a pain, NAFTA notwithstanding!)Dr Dave
