Scammer???

You have a vehicle for sale, someone wants to buy it from you, for the agreed price..you are glad, pleased, excited, you pretty much already spent the money, but wait..

It Is A Scam!!

Believe it, the bastards are still lurking-consider your 41' still for sale

 

yup thats the craig list scam!!!!! what they do is give you a check you cash it and it takes the bank a couple weeks to cath the fake check and you gave them your car and extra cash out! dont do it!!!!

 

put on your ad in big letters!! NO CASHIERS CHECKS! MONEY ORDERS OR CHECKS! CASH OR PAYPAL ONLY

 

problem is now the smart scammers will buy a check, then make 20 copies. when someone calls in the bank says its legit, then he hands ya a forgery,and promtly takes the other one back to the bank for a refund.

best to not take them at all anymore.

one good idea is to have them overnight ya the check, tell them you are in a hurry. it cost over 50 bucks to o/n from nigeria. in a few days when he contacts ya , tell him you never got it, but you really want to do the deal....they will promptly o/n another thinking they got a pigeon.
eventulay you get the pleasure of telling them to fuck off and thanks for spending a couple hundred with a u/s company.

I've been known to give them a phony address to send the cashier's check off to. Or if I had a bum deal with someone, like they took my money and didn't send me the item I was supposed to get? I'll use their name and address to recieve the thing.

 

Most popular Craiglist scam ever...

 

Ha! Ha! couldnt help it!

There he is...Thanks..i been lookin for this picture

 

Record the next phone conversation you have with him.
Tell him you sold the truck for scrap (or dirt cheap if its really nice) because you was needin a fix real bad. Maybe he's also involved in other illegal activities besides scamming people and might try to capitalize on your "problem". I'm not sure if such a recorded conversation (even if worded perfectly) would help law enforcement, be admissible in court, etc. but at the least it would be funny
Be smart and let him hang himself, these people need to be put away indefinitely.

 

If you have nothing better to do than entertain this scamer
suggest the transportation co bring Cash
you will never hear from him again

 

Sorry to agree with the others it is a scam. Just delete it and move on, they aren't worth the time to F with.

X2 This happened to a friends son.. 5 weeks later they took all the money out of his account and sued him for the balance.. On top of that he was placed in "Check Systems" and could mot open another checking account until the balance was paid.. With interest

 

the last nigerian scam i got started "please and please, dont be embarrassed". the clown wanted to deposit ten point five mill into my account. the dumb pigeon english gave him away before the msg did.
i told him i had sent his email to internal affairs and he should go and procreate with his mom!
funny, he didnt get back yo me. damn, i could have used that money...........lol

 

It's most likely the truck driver too.

 

Why not just cash the check and put the cash in your pocket . Then tell him you are going to hold the cash for two months , then he can come and get what ever you are selling him . Don't give him your correct address . But do send the parts or what ever later .

 

This one's more appropriate...

 

is he nigerian?
