Re: Is this a scam (egMee)
This almost happened to me. Here is what happens:
They send you a real cashiers check and you are supposed to go cash it. They would only ship with THEIR shipper. The check then bounces and you get stiffed with bank fees (basicly writing bad checks.) Then you are suppose to pay give the money to their "shipper" and the shipper never shows, thus you paying the shipper out of your own money, not knowing the check bounced.
I had my car on Autotrader and I recieved a check for 5k from him. Didnt bite it because it was from Amsterdam with no return address...
The thing is they aren't after what you are selling.
