Hey guys I thought i would fill you all in on the scam running on this site....I have several items up for sale...i got contacted via email...from this guy wanting to supposidly buy my parts...im only asking 200 for everything...Today i recieved a check from this person for 3800 dollars...they want me to cash this bogus check...keep my 200...then wire transfer the money to the uk...then someone from the uk is supposidly gonna come all they way over here to pick these items up.
Im not stupid...this is a bogus check...that they want to try and take my money buy me bouncing this bogus check...and it would be to late if i wired the money..
PLEASE BE AWARE EVERYONE!!!
Hey man! Wow thats pretty messed up. Contact your nearest local FBI office and see what they can do. They are pretty busy but they usually are willing to look into it and see if they can do anything. Sometimes its actually not just the first time, it can lead to a ring of fraud so they'll be interested. I live in Central California and could probably give you a hand if you lived around here but I can give you the numbers to FBI Offices in your area if you'd like.

there probably fake...but i hope not. i hope you pop them for that crap, but more then likely its the same case has my friend and they can't do crap. FYI the fbi agent told my friend they make like 10 million a year doing it.....i think that number is low but i don't know for sure i just know it was at least that much. been awhile

deposit the check into your bank but don't spend any of it and see if it clears...if it does ship the guy the parts, and keep the rest....lol. then you scammed him for the remainder...lol.
Listen.....the (fake) check can clear in 10 business days, but it can take 30 days for the bank to realize it is fake. If any of that money is spent by you, you are liable for it.
That is the essence of this scam. It goes like this. The supposed buyer sends you a large check or money order. You deposit it and it clears in 5-10 business days. You send the overage back out by wire transfer, or you spend it. Weeks later, after the money is spent or returned to the buyer, the bank discovers the check was a fraud. The bank WILL hold you responsible for whatever money was withdrawn from the original amout.
That is why he wanted to tempt Charlie by telling him to keep an extra 100 bux for himself. By the time the bank figures it out the scammer has his money and there is nothing anyone can do about it.
ok everyone my friends boyfriend got a check like this in the mail he got an email i forgot what about but it was over yahoo. they give you this check and when you put it in the bank they get your account number and they drained his account and put him thousands of dollars negative. the bank charged him with bank fraud and he was put in jail! the only reason he was released was b.c. his lawyer was able to get the emails off his computer because he never deleted them. but the bank is still holding him financially responsible and he has to pay everything back so please be careful and dont fall for it!
