Hello all
Just wanted to throw this out there. I had some stuff posted on the classifieds and got this email for someone overseas wanting to buy an item. Well he gives story of friend in the states owes him money and he will send me an outrageous amount as he has to send everything so as not to hold up transaction. I keep the funds for me and the rest is for the shipper who will come pick up the item. He has the proper licenses supposedily. Yes it was a firearm. Well it did not sound right to start. Well long story short turns out there is a lot of overseas scammers out there that buy the time you get the certified check and go to the bank which for the most part dont have any problem cashing since certified. Well after about a week the bank ends up calling you back wanting there money back cause the certified check turns out to be a FRAUD. So now you end up oweing the bank back all the money and more than likely you are out the item to. Just watch out folks cause there are some bad apples out there.
