Sketchy Buyer?

dude, thats hells sketch.

theres all sorts of scams like that out there...they like send you a check for 3900 or some shit, and then you're supposed to give the money to someone else...i cant remember, i read about this scam once, its a way for them to "money launder" or whatever its called.

basically dont listen to this guy, its a scam.

say you shipped it, get the check and keep the money. cause i guarantee its illegal money anyway.

thats what i was thinking...

its gotta be bullshit, no one in their right mind would buy 330 dollars of audio goods for $3,900. bullshit

Sounds totally legit. Send me a check while your at it.

no way is that legit. you canfind another buyer for it. what are you selling any way?

are you selling the kenwoods and the ps1800?

thats fucked.... kinda sounds like some fucked up 15 year old kid trying to rip you off

Scam 1 - "Overseas Buyers..."



The scammer will express an interest in buying the item that is for sale. However, the scammer tells the vendor that he lives abroad, and that he would like to send the vendor a cheque to cover the cost of the item, plus an additional amount to cover the cost of shipping the item overseas.



If the vendor agrees to this, the scammer sends them a cheque or a banker's draft for the total amount. The vendor pays the cheque or draft into their bank account, and the bank clears it immediately, making the funds available in the vendor's bank account.



The scammer then asks the vendor to get in touch with the shipping agent immediately in order to arrange the shipment overseas. The vendor does so, and the shipping agent (another scammer) asks for their fee up front. They usually ask for the fee to be sent via Western Union to enable them to collect it immediately. As the scammer's cheque or bank draft has been cleared by the bank as soon as it was paid in, the vendor agrees to this, and sends the shipping agent their money.



The vendor is usually then contacted by the scammer, who asks the vendor to send the rest of the money back as he no longer wants to purchase the item. There is usually a hard-luck story attached: one common story is that the scammer's son or daughter has been involved in an accident or is seriously ill, and the scammer needs the money to pay for their hospital treatment. If the vendor agrees, they transfer the rest of the money back to the scammer, again probably via Western Union.



At this point, the vendor is unaware that they have been scammed. They remain unaware of this until the scammer's cheque or bank draft completes the bank clearing process - which can take days or even weeks - and the bank finally finds out that it is a forgery.



Scam 2 - "I've sent you too much money..."



Another one works when the person who has agreed to buy your goods says a mistake has been made and instead of (for example) £100 the cheque has been made out for £1,000 and would you cash the cheque and send back the difference.



The cheque will clear into your bank, only to be stopped/refused weeks later. At this point, the Banks/Building Societies will take the full cheque amount back out of your account. Not only will you have lost the goods, you will be out of pocket for the amount of their original cheque (£1,000) and the amount you passed on as the difference (£900).

Scam!

yes...

another?

Thanks for the reply.
    I am ok with your asking price which is $330 and am ready to add $40 to it making $370 am going to pay for the item.i will make the shipment myself via my shipper,he will be the one to come and pick up the item from you after the payment has been made to you.i will also be making my payment with a MoneyOrder,so get back to me if my mode of payment is accepted and we can proceed on this transaction.Looking forward to doing business with you.

fuck it, oversea's is such bs. just ebay or craigslist it

soundz legit, do it.

maybe he wants you

call him up

I like his phone number

have you tried calling the number?

Just tried the phone number, it's fake. Number error, apparently. Got some friends in England to try it, doesn't work either.

It's a scam, and judging by the post the Bunny made up there, it's a well known one.

haha this guy can hardly type properly and he says he has a secretary... this would probably imply he works in some kind of office/company deal meaning he would be dealing with alot of business's. I doubt he would be sending off emails to other companies with the way he types.

want ad digest is mostly local and ive never beeen scammed like that before. thats where all the cars i sell get listed.
