Thanks Click here to read more about these kind of scams. Remember: DO NOT do business with anyone who offers to send you payment for a higher amount than your selling price with the understanding that you'll send back the balance. Be suspicious of anyone claiming to be acting on behalf of a "client" or another "customer". Be suspicious of anyone claiming to be from Nigeria or West Africa If you agree to accept a check payment, then do not send anything, gear or "change" before the check cleared. And be careful, if you manage to clear a fraudulent check then you may be liable for the damages if the bank finds out later. Make sure your bank authenticates the check. If it sounds to good to be true, then it probably is.This username has been disabled.Safe swoops Sangiro Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joanne8293 0 #2 May 28, 2006 The guy listed above by the user name of johnbull, sent me an e mail on the 26th may asking for details on my kit. On checking this person out he has never logged in and has mo personal details on this site. He sent me the exact same e mail as the one above. I have sent details back to him and today found this to be a SCAM buyer, thanks for the warning. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scooter Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites YellowDog 0 #10 June 12, 2006 Yup. I got this exact wording as well. Better yet, I also have one of his fraudulent (WAY over the amount) checks. The logo of the bank (Regions Bank, Memphis) is not even current. A bank representative told me today that I should frame it and put it on the wall, as that is about all the satisfaction I will probably receive. There are too many jurisdictions for authorities to get involved, so my energy on this one stops here, except for warning others. ---> One Half of Almost Nearly Normal <--- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Join the conversation You can post now and register later.
