i received this email

Good Day, It's good reading about the item you posted on Craigslist
concerning the price, and i must let you know that it is ok by me. Payment will be inform Certified Cashier's Check in view of this i need you to email me any information that may be required to send the payment across to you.

As i do not want to send the check to a wrong location/hand... I have a shipping company that takes care of the pick up of my consignments, and have my items shipped for me to my destination anywhere in the U.S.A. The company will send down a representative to arrange the sales documentation and the pick up from your pick up point.

Also want to alert you on the fact that you will be receiving an overdraft payment, which will cover the money for pickup and shipping to the final destination.As soon as you receive the payment do have it processed and deduct your money, and the remaining balance will be sent to the shipping company. I will give you the details of the company that will be shipping the items as soon as we seal this deal.

Once the money is received by the agent, the shipping agent will contact you immediately proper documentation as well as the pick up.Here are the details needed to have the payment sent to you.

(1) Full Name:
(2) Residential Address: Not P.O.Box please
(3) Phone Number: (Home/Cell)
(4) last price

Once you get back to me with all the above payment will be issued out immediately and be sent to you.

Hope to hear from you soon..Regards.




These are obviosuly scammers
how do i get away with getting there money so they NEVER do this again

 

well scammers use fake checks in the first place.

if they were real checks they wouldnt be scamming you now would they? they would just be buying your car

 

Of course this a scam. Have you been living under a rock for the last three years?

And if you "got away with their money" ... you'd be comitting fraud and larceny.

 

ITS A SCAM DONT DO IT!!
i got the same email from someone when i tired to sell some speakers.
its all fake.

 

Yes it is they are trying to have you cash the check that is over your price and have you wire the remaining real money back to them and then after that they are going to say that they dont want it anymore so they are going to have you send the rest of the money back to them again and when your the check that you gave to the bank comes back fake your bank account is going to be negative. Banks usually clear the check fast because it's from a different state but after that when your bank gets the check returned. Your the one paying for the money lost. and Now the scammer has your money.
Dont even give him anything not even your name.
I was scam once and thank god the FBI help me catch the crook and was able to get my $3500 back.
Dont it it..
It's alot of nigerians that's doing it.
Plus if you get an e-mail that sounds like a professional wrote it dont fall for it
Just e-mail back FAWK OFF..!!

 

i had the same e mail , there scamers.

 

It's a tarp

 

Look, if they wanted your car...they come pick it up themselves w/ cash in hand. Don't fall for any of those cashier/cert. checks and shipping company scams. I got all those stupid emails all the time when I was trying to sell my golf sets on craigslist too.

 

You only got one of these emails? SCAM!!!! got about 4 with the EXACT writing from different SCAMMERS!!! I said put the cash in my hand PERSONALLY or GTFO!!

 

yeah...its simple as this; tell them directly that if you cant talk to them on the phone, you dont want there business. and even at that, if he has the check, why cant he cash it himself and bring you the cash? good lookin out though, there's plenty of people that would have just fell for it.

 

think about this.

he wants to take their money and keep it with out giving up the car right?

first off what happens when someone receives one of these scammers checks and tries to cash it? it gets cashed (if you make it this far), you get money then a day later it registers with the bank that the check was fake and your liable for the money.


theres no way to scam these scammers out of their money because they dont have any money in the first place

 

wow I wouldnt even do that even if it was legit. Get cash or nothing like everybody else said.

 

ok thanks

 

its legit, do it

 

This has been going on for years.

 

craigslist?i think its a scam.my dad last year had the same thing.he got scam really bad....
