stayhigh 2 #1 January 5, 2015 They offer fake check and stuff but what do they really do? They usually say that they will have some sort of carrier pick it up from me. I always tell them that I'll give it to them for free and they never answer back. I just wanna see one of these dude in real life. one of the scam mail that I have received. Hi! Thanks for getting back to me. Thank you for the pictures and the information you have provided on AD. I will put forward an offer of $800. What mode of payment do you accept? The only payment I have is by a check.. that is the only way I could complete the transaction right now. I am trying to complete this in a very timely manner because my allowance would be coming inn soon and can take care of things with it without stress or time wasting. You have nothing to worry about as the item would not be picked up until the payment clears and you have your money. I hope to hear from you soon, and you do not have to worry about the cost of the shipping of the item, I will have my private transport company take care of that. Thank you very much as I await your swift response again. God bless.

jackwallace 3 #2 January 5, 2015 Best I can figure, is they want your bank routing number off the canceled check.U only make 2 jumps: the first one for some weird reason and the last one that you lived through. The rest are just filler. scr 316 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drago 0 #3 January 5, 2015 The check he sends you will be fake. As soon as you have it, he'll send another message that says; "Wait! My secretary made the check out in the wrong amount. Instead of $800 she made it out for $1,800. My mistake. I would please like you to go ahead and cash that check, but then send me back the $1,000 overage. That way we'll be square." When you cash his check, it will bounce a few days later, as it's no good. Meanwhile, your good check for $1,000 is gone, and you lose. There is no shipper on standby to pick up the goods. He doesn't want your goods. He wants your overage check. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Digger6.0 0 #4 January 5, 2015 Same thing happened to me. What tipped me off was the request for a picture, price and condition, all of which are in the classified ad. Could this be a computer search scam and not a person behind the original request? Also have had a check in a larger than asked for amount with a request to send back the balance! Called the company that it was written on and no one there by the signed name. Called the company that the check was mailed from, no one there by that name either. Sure and I'll wait for the tooth fairy to bring me a new canopy! Thanks to all the honest jumpers out there who value this service that Dropzone.com offers.

stayhigh 2 #5 January 6, 2015 they can't do anything with the bank routing numbers tho right? Every time, I'll tell them that I'll just give them the product for free and they disappear. Who doesn't want free velo? That only has 400-500 jumps. Bernie Sanders for President 2016 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sfzombie13 307 #7 January 11, 2015 the bank routing number is easy to get. they want the money, as stated. i had one of these last year, but it was with a job i was supposed to do and he sent money orders. the guy sent two money orders instead of one. i deposited them into my account and waited. after two days, i found out they bounced, so i went in and got them back. then i took them to the post office, since they were usps, and found out they were real, but had already been used somehow. i then found out that they were written by one person in pa, sent to someone n wa, and the guy was supposed to live in nh, and his "agent" was in wv. pretty convoluted, but since they were real, they could have fooled anyone. i knew it was a scam when he sent them, i was going to keep all the money, hence waiting before doing anything._________________________________________ Si hoc legere scis nimium eruditionis habes Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
