thats one of those scams they want you to cash the check. then western union the money back. then when the check turns up fake you are still responsible for the money.
your just jealous 😛
Ive gotten one of those before when i was trying to sell some wheels or something. :cens
they look pretty legit, most banks wont even allow you to cash them tho. :stoned
I listed a step van on craigslist for $4000 and like an idiot I put down my local address and phone number so interested parties could call or come by and see it. I received about a half dozen of these in the mail. All were for a thousand dollars or more than I was asking. All intructed me to keep $4000 and send the excess to their driver in XXXXXXXX who would then come by and pick up the truck. Most of the letters were in broken english and one even said that he liked what he was seeing, even though I had no photo on the ad. I called the police and they said just to shred them. One guy called and claimed I had cashed the check and was demanding money. Another actually had a guy show up and want the money and the van. When I offered to call the police he left and when I followed him in my car, he wandered aimlessly on foot for an hour. He finally went into Walmart and went into the back of the store and then ran away. Two of my checks had the same paper,signature and bank, but different businesses. If you list on craigslist, do not put personal info in your ad. Follow the info when you open an account and it will mask everything from the buyers view so all you get is an e-mail with their contact info. Be careful.
