Angry Site Scam Warning!!!!!

Hey everyone beware...there are people trying to take advantage of us...I have a bunch of parts up for sale...i got conntacted by this guy via email...saying he wanted to buy them and was gonna have his shipping company come pick them up...now im only selling these parts for 200...now today i recieved a 3800 dollar check...then this dude wants me to go cash it and wire the rest of the money to the uk...because his shipping company is there.

Im not stupid this is a bogus check...and if i was to cash it and send the money via western union...it would bounce and i would loose 3800 dollars and there would be nothing i could do about it.

PLEASE BE AWARE OF THIS!!!!

I know what your talking about, I have had this happen to me many times on craigslist i never fall for it. But beware guys cause your bank makes you pay it all back if you cash this check. They always ask for you name address social and some other crap. they send you a check worth mor ethen the item you cash it send them some money back so they get cash and what your selling and you get screwed!

Yup, I'm selling an engine kit for $1000 and I get $7500. It was 7 $1000 and 1 $500 WAL MART Moneygrams and the guy was in England. I played with the guy and found out these bogus money orders actually originated in Michigan so if this guy really was in England, he has someone in the US working with him.

Jeez. He doesn't give up. He doesn't need these parts so bad that it can't wait for the 3-4 days the bank will take to check out to see if the checks are good before you send any money. Usually after you tell them that, you won't hear from them again.

And why is it every scammer can NEVER spell right???

I know people are really skepticak about sending parts for powdercaoting or polishing....

what the scammer have done is make hard for the honest working guy to make buck....
