So I'm trying to sell my blizzaks on CL and this guy emails me asking if they were still for sale and if I could send pics. I responded with the price and pics and got this email back from him. I'm not sure why but my spidey senses are telling me that there is something funny about this email.

Hello,
Thanks for the prompt response and i will love to make an
instant purchase. My Office will be mailing (overnight) a certified
check from my account to cover the cost, while you hold on my behalf.
Once you have this, my mover will come for the pick up at your place.
I will be needing the following information to issue out the payment . .

1.Name to be on the check
2.Home address
3.Telephone
4.zipcode
Please note that the payment will be overnight by my Office to
your address and its bound to be delivered within 2 days. I have taken
a close look at the advert and am completely satisfied, i really need
this and would appreciates that you help save this till the payment
arrives. Furthermore do remove the posting as am definitely buying it
from you and it would be sad for me to have the payment in the mail
only to be alerted it as been sold when the check does arrives. Am A
Respectful Buyer On CL,
Regards.
 
For some of them they say they'll pick up the shipping cost and send there own carrier to pick it up..Some have just put lbs and lbs or crap in a box..I'd hate to see how much 75lbs of crap costs to ship it to africa.
 
I have actually messed with these people before and gotten them to send me the check. I have a 3500dollar check in my pocket right now for a 750 dollar item. How they work is they want you to deposit the check into your account. Will take a few days to clear!!!! (yeah right!!) Well then they want you to take out your amount and the amount for a wire transfer to western union them the remaining balance!!!! All the meanwhile the fake check is sitting in your account and gets caught a week later, after you have withdrew 3 or 4k out of your account to wire them! LMAO I took a check that I recieved for a Genuine Tag Heuer watch that I sold on CL and the bank teller called the Bank that the check was issued from. The manager at the Bank in Chicago read off the name to my bank teller before she could read it to her, lol!!! I guess they were well known!!! Anyway's, don't fall for any of the scams, be careful too!! People will even give you counterfeit cash if you do a local sale! Goodluck on the sale!!!

I had the same thing happen to me when I was selling parts from my supra tt> The jerkoff sent me fake us moneyorders ($3200) dollars worth when I was only asking $1,500 for the parts:shifty: hmmmmmm! I deposited all of them in my account and the guy wanted me to "western union" him the balance. I kept putting him off until the bank called me to tell me that the money orders were fake. I then gave the bank all of the info I had on this jerkoff! I hope they caught up to him. BEWARE!!!

Same thing happened to me, I played with it, the guy even sent me a picture of his "fake" daughter (actual picture sent is shown below) and am sitting on a 3665 cashier's check. even moreso the guy said he's from the UK and his "banker" is in Georgia...the check says it's from NY,NY
