RE: Beware...International Fraud on Asylum Trader

Posted by M3Man on August 12, 2017 at 03:22:55:
This is a variation of a common scam, often run out of Nigeria. They send a fake cashiers check or money order, which looks good enough for the bank to accept. But technically, you are responsible for whatever you deposit, so when the back submits the check to whatever bank its drawn on, and finds out its fake, they take back any money they might have deposited in your account. In that window of time before the bank realizes the check or money order is bogus, the scammers try to get you to send them a refund. In my past life as a news reporter, we once caught them scamming a little old lady selling handmade clocks. She "refunded" them $2000. I actually got a privtae eye I knew to send an associate to a London bank to stop the transfer before the scammers could withdraw it, so she got her money back. That almost never happens, so seller beware.
