MrandMrsB 0 #12 February 9, 2010 Now he also uses the following name...... Williams Scott ([email protected]) RE: - Response From: Williams Scott ([email protected]) Sent: Sun 2/07/10 11:14 PM Due to shipping and insurance that a Person is coming to pick up from you. The Payment you will be receiving will be excess the shippers fund will be added to it..So this is what you are going to do.After you receive the Payment and cash it you will deduct your own money ... then you will assist me in wiring the rest money to my Shipping company via Money Gram or Western Union who will be coming to pick up the item, and this must be done in good faith.I believe that i can trust you with the rest money.I will like to read from you back today so that i can contact my shipping company to get ready Regard Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canadian_Nomad 0 #13 October 14, 2011 I work in a bank you'd be surprised how often this scam has come in! Fraudulent checks can be returned at ANY time by a financial institution! So DO NOT accept checks unless you really know that person! Paypal all the way or nothing.Some people spot them as they see them, some spot them as they go, but there is no spot till you step out the door ; and by then it really doesn't matter anyway - Lynn Levengood.
