Hey!!!

I got that as well. What was the email address? Guy was yanking me around for like 2 weeks saying cashier's check was in the mail, of course I was yawning while reading his emails. Same idea, said he would send me the funds, and refund $6K or so after the vehicle is picked up to cover the Shipping of the vehicle


Not sure what the plan is there, but nothing ever got to me in the mail, not like I was surprised.

Ya'll mind sharing the email address with the rest of us?

I'd be much obliged.......

Where did you guys have your car posted for sale at?
Ebay, Autotrader?
I would've played along, and deposit the check, while alerting the authorities of this possible scam. The US Marshals or the Secret Service would've gotten involved.

I have the same thing happening right know.

He plans to send a check for 11800 when my C3 is for sales for 5300. I just have to send 6500 after I get my money.

The Names/Emails are;
Andrew Brown [andrewbrown231@yahoo.com]
joe_williams231@yahoo.com

They say that they are based out of Canada.

I may string them a long for fun.

I have my C3 posted on Vettehound.com

You get these offers for anything you post for sale. Whether it's a Corvette, or a Yugo.

Just delete them, don't even bother replying.

I've gotten those

flounderlipps

I got three of them bad checks. They look good to.
Its funny when they say thier clients previous sale fell through They will send you the check for some other deal that fell through.
With your name on the check!!

Also who the hell is gonna give you $30 some thousand dollars for a car without even looking at it?

I guess some people do fall for it

wright vettes

Its an old scam I get them once a week, they send a fake check that look's real US Bank certified check . Then you send them the a check for the extra amount and the certified bounces. They pray upon greed
like any other scam.

OK I JUST GOT THIS ONE, THOUGH I WOULD SHARE:

Dear Nathan,

Thanks for your quick response to my demand,I am
happy to let you know that I just concluded with my
customer and he has instructed me to carry on with
this transaction.We have made all the arrangements to
send you the check for ($28,900),as an agent I have
my commission for the services rendered to my
customer which is ($500.00)and the rest will be used
by the pick agent to arrange for the shippment of
other goods including your own which the customer
purchased.He said that I should inform you that
payment will get to you in a U.S cashier's check,the
amount on the check will cover my commission and the
shipping cost.So you are required to deduct the cost of
your car( $21,900 ) when payment gets to you and refund
the balance of( $7,000) to the agent who will come for pick up.
I have made all arrangement with agent to wire my commission
to me as soon as he recieves the wire transfer via
WESTERN UNION MONEY TRANSFER OR
MONEY GRAMME WIRE TRANSFER.
Please I want you to understand that I am entrusting
the entire funds in your hands.
After payment has reached you and balance sent back to
the agent,he will come for the pick up and take to a
prepaid shipper to be shipped to my customer,while
other necessary documents will be sent to you via
courier service to my client.
Please Confirm this and provide NAME, ADDRESS and
PHONE NUMBER for check payment to be delivered to you
via courier service.
Thanks and best regards.

Brian.

They then make checks with YOUR NAME on them and your sity to make them look more real, SO DON't GIVE out your address!!! Of BANK account numbers for WIRE transfers EVEN though your account is likey ok, somone else might get feeling like the money is good as they (the bad guys) call and check if a CHECK for that ammount would celar and they make money, so it works...it is a GAME of numbers for them SO LESS INFO they have the better we SCREW THEM bad ***'s

What if you put the check into the bank account and then get the cash out once it's all cleared out or it won't clear?

I had the same offer for my car for sale, but he said that I'll be getting a money order. Just don't see how they can rip me off if I have cash in my hands.

VETTEC5

Cash from inside the bank is KING always!
Cash from the street, well becareful!
Evan Cashier Checks check them through a bank for them to clear.
Nothing is safe nowdays!

JasonblkZ06

Well if you deposit it, it will bounce then your bank will charge you a returned check fee. I sold a turbo to someone once and the cashiers check was counterfiet. It looked real, I had the $ in my account for 2 weeks, then it went negative when the check did not clear.

Luckily I held onto the turbo.

crazy ****.

Hey Guys

Speak of the devil! I got my Cashier's Check in the mail today. After opening it and trying to contain my laughter at the Filmsy Cashier's Check that it was, I went to the bank to see if it was real, had to make a deposit anyway......And MUCH to my SURPRISE, it wasn't!


The name on my check was Tony Blake and it came from Canada I believe, only had one .47cent Stamp on it.

As said above, who sends $45,000 without seeing the car. And might I add, the lady at the bank said it was about her 6th or 7th one this year. I really hope no one fell for this pathetic scam


And my car was advertised on the Auto Trader, so they contacted me through there.


Seller Beware!

OdessitPashka

After I asked the guy for his information he stopped answering my emails... Wonder if I'm still going to get the check.
