wtf? is he for real? what the hell should i do?

 

Try reading the threads regarding scams. This type of scam is older than dirt.

 

if you think he is for real do it, you WILL lose your money


but its a scam..best known one going around on the net

 

It's a scam.

 

Duh.

 

yeah, i've never sold stuff to people over the internet so i'm new to people trying to scam me online...
can't trust no one these days damn it

 

sons a bitches

 

tell them to send the check to you anyway. Once received, tell them to kiss your ***, then frame said check and place it on the wall near your computer. You'll never forget again and always thanks us for being here for you.


You'll be forever in debt to us now.

 

thanks alot, but forever in debt?
damn, i'm starting to feel like my dad....

there's one thing I wanna know..
can't you just go to some check cashing place and get it cashed there? it's not like you have an account to overdraw? right?

 

hes gonna send you a false check so it doesnt matter where you go to cash it. if you do get to cash it youll eventually get caught, its not worth the risk.

 

This probably is a scam, the same thing happened to me a few weeks ago. What happened was the guy sent me cashiers checks that were fake. I took them to my bank to cash them and they told me I had to have enough money in my account to cash them just in case they didnt go through. So i took them to the post office and they told me they were fake. I almost lost 2 grand on that one. Watch out for scammers

 

wtf . . .. . the guy sounds like a flaming queef homo . . . . of course its a scam, Did you honestly think somone would actualy send 4000 dollars to you, expecting you just to take less than half of it . . . . dont do it, you'll loose your shyt .. .. . . good luck with your sell though. Find a real buyer =]

You need to keep comments like that to yourself or your going to find yourself being banned real quick, were all getting sick of this **** around here. Answer the guys question call him a dumbass and move on.


Btw it is a scam, If you can get one of those check cashing places to cash it for you tho or your bank and they dont catch it within 30 days it now becomes your money no matter what they say.

The financial institution would come after you like a pack of rabid dogs if you knowingly try to cash a fraudulent check.
