well, has he done anything to you yet? taken any money/parts?

until he actually does something, you can't call a scam on him....

Duhh! This has been an ongoing scam, there is a thread about it in the classifides or the FI classifides. He claims he will send you a check and you send him the goods and the balance, well the check is not valid!!!

Yes guys this is an ongoing scam, there have been tons of people ripped off buy these scams. They claim to say some business owes them money and they will be sending a cashiers check for more than the selling price. Then they ask you to return the left over money to him along with the merchandise.

I even remember where a guy knew it wsa a scam and asked for references, pics of the businesses and the scammers actually sent some pics of these african men, it was hilarious it looked so bogus.

well if i were you i would get the check and wait for it to clear with the bank before i sent any parts. if it does not clear then just give the money back to the bank. its that simple and maybe a scammer will be caught cause of this.

scammer's are

BUT, if I am selling someone something, and they are paying me with a check, I absolutely DO NOT ship anything, until that check has cleared. If the check doesn't clear, then you don't ship your merchandise.

Seems pretty simple to me...

guys, even if the check clears...that does not mean the buyer is legit. The banks can yank back the money and youll be left with no car parts or money.
