you're supposed to make sure the check clears BEFORE you ship anything.

Gather any information you have about the seller and contact the authorities. I could be wrong but I believe that's felony theft.

Then you probably shouldn't put it here.

File a police report in his town. Other than that, bend over and suck up your losses, because there isn't too much that can be done. Sorry to hear you got scammed.

 

sorry to hear that man, but i wouldnt take matters into ur own hands, that could just cause more trouble, just contact the police and let them deal with it

 

you are fucked.

 

Try to contact the shipping company, and stop the shipping. If it's already arrived, then I don't know what to tell you exept, file a report, and find out what to do through the law.

There are alot of fake casheirs checks going around that initially clear and are later discovered to be fakes after they've been routed according to the # on the bottom of the check... that's why I only use paypal or a money order only.

 

money orders can be forged as well. its best to wait for any payment to clear before shipping anything at all.

 

NEVER accept anything other than a US postal service money order! Since there is a Post Office just about everywhere in the US you can verify it before depositing. Plus they have numerous security features. Your bank has no way of verifying a m.o. from some other far away bank. If you get any other kind of money order, call the bank that supposedly issued it and give them the numbers on it, and amount, see if it's legit. If you deposit a fake m.o. even if you wait to ship and it bounces, you'll get hit with a fee from your bank.

 

always take them to the bank and let verify that the check is real before you deposit the money or ship anything. I had somebody try and do that to me. The bank called me 2 days later saying the check was fake. It was some people from over sea's

 

just use paypal, and wait for the money to be deposited in ur account, once again sorry to hear about ur losses, but just bite the big one and go on

 

1) Youre fault...you ALWAYS wait for checks to clear before sending off your ****.
2) If you know that this doesnt go here, why did you put it here? Even if you cant put it elsewhere...why bother then?
3) Go tell the police, not us. What are we going to do?
4) Reported for a move

 

Such sympathy everyone has...how touching!

Nothing like losing all that money and then being berated by your would-be online buddies!

Its a very common thing....There's a huge post about these type of scams in the H-T classifieds area.

When I had a car for sale on autotrader, I had about 5 offers from oversea's emails wanting me to ship the car to them. Who the **** in the UK or Italy would want a 99 chevy malibu that bad! LMAO....I just fucked with them on email and sent all the emails to the FBI.

 

Contact the local police in his city...and see if they will help you out. If it's a small town, they will probably help you a bit. Doesn't hurt to try.

Be nice and help him out guys. I'm sure he knows he made a mistake. It happens.

I know, last summer same thing, some doofus tried to send me a fake money order for $15,000 for an Accord I was selling for only $9000, asking me to get another money order to give to an "associate" of his he owed money to. What a joke, he was supposedly from W. Africa, the "money order" was from a San Francisco bank, and it was shipped to me from a FedEx in the Caribbean or something!
I was selling an Si cluster a month ago or so, some joker wanted to meet in person to exchange money order for product. Didn't fall for that either! If someone can buy a money order and meet with you, they can just bring the cash instead!
