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
freekfly 0 #2 July 19, 2006 You know....I was a bit bummed. I let them get to the point where they sent me the fedex and got the fraudulant checks. Then I called FedEx to have them put a hold on the account. Turns out the account was opened online just a few days prior with a phone # that didn't work and most likely will just be closed once the bill isn't paid. I was hoping to at LEAST cost them $10 in fedex charges.....but no, they screw FedEx too......oh well...lesson learned.

I hope that you didn't use your home address for the FedEx. You never know if the scammers have US contacts. Take a look at http://www.419eater.com/ It is a funny/sad site with a lot of good info.
