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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
webracer 0 #2 May 25, 2011 This user is still at it. Here is the interaction with me... Thanks for the quick update, payment was sent from me via fedex with the tracking numbers (794781837873) and i guess you will be wondering why i sent that much to you.the excess funds is meant for shipping cost..actually i really do not know how much it will cost for the shipper to be able to get it shipped to me over here , Which was the reason why i had to issue out enough funds for it all so there wont be any delay while getting it shipped to me. You can box up the Rig and get it ready because I will be ready to get them shipped soon. So what I need from you now is for you to remove $1100 for the Rig and for you to send the rest by western union to the shipper so pickup can take place on time. I have other equipments that I need to get shipped so I want to do them all together.You can remove the western union charges from the money you are sending.Please send to the information below Name:- Preonda Graham City :- Fort Wayne , IN , USA Daren --- On Wed, 5/25/11, Troy Church wrote: From: Troy Church Subject: Re: Dropzone.com Classifieds - Response to your Ad To: "Daren Bent" Date: Wednesday, May 25, 2011, 5:26 AM Daren: I received a check yesterday with an email request inside.

webracer 0 #3 May 25, 2011 Oh, and my final reply... Daren: I am sorry, but I do not do business that way. If you like, your shipper can come pick up the check (or I will destroy it). There are two problems with your check, one is the amount is excessive. I am not a bank and I will not give change, especially over wire transfer. The other problem is that the check is not a bank check, it is a check drawn on a college which I believe you have no affilliation with. Please let me know whether you want the check destroyed or picked up by your shipper. Regards, Troy Church Sky Sports, Inc. [email protected]Troy I am now free to exercise my downward mobility.

JCoolHand 0 #4 June 8, 2011 My correspondence with Daren: I sent the check, the envelope, the note and all of our electronic correspondence to The Secret Service Financial Institution Fraud team. If it clears with them We will be in contact.
