I am selling coil over from my type r. and this is what the guy said to me

Thanks for the urgent response,send me your details where the payment can be mailed to!!!My company would issue out a prepaid check to you,After you have it cashed from your local bank an information of my courier service will be emailed to you,so you can therefore send the balance to them for immediate pick up of the item.

Daveson Cannon.


I have never did it this way so I am not to sure?

Thanks

 

What site you selling them on? Iv had people say this from a craigslist add.

 

Scammmer. I had someone send me the exact same thing when i was selling my truck on Craigslist. He's trying to get you to send them out before the check clears.

 

Nah dude, it's legit. I always issue checks to people for too much money. Just easier for my bookeeping that way.

Since I'm very busy and very important, I then have you wire the remaining money to my courier service. In turn, they pick up the item for me after they have received the money.

See, 100% legit. All internet transactions should be done in that manner. What could go wrong?

 

Definitely a scam.

 

You shouldn't say things like that without saying that you're kidding--not everyone picks up on the intended sarcasm...

 

lol scam cr says only deal locally.

 

Definately scam.

 

It's off a Kijiji.

Thanks for your help guys! I have never did this before!

and Todd00 should be ban for being such a *****..

 

its a scam i used to always get those when i sold things on craigslist

 

I lol, its a joke, relax.

 

lol . It even details this scam on the craigslist FAQ. I thought everyone was aware of this by now.

definitely a scam, they tried that **** with my dad and the one guy i used to work with. anyone dumb enough to fall for this **** needs to be taken out back and beaten.

 

Scams are usually pretty easy to figure out...the names are usually really common (one time I had a guy named Ferdinand Cannon e-mail me), they don't mention much detail (i.e. they say 'your product' rather than what it is you're actually selling), and they never offer cash. It's best to be safe about it and only accept cash or paypal. If they truly wish to buy it, they shouldn't mind paying for it through something secure.
