Its weird. I put it on craigslist and a guy messages me and said this. Is it still in good condition? What your final asking price? And he said his shipping agent will pick it up. The weird thing is he seems pushy to send the check. He hasnt even asked nothing about the car? All he wanted was my shipping adress to send the check. Seems iffy? But oh well i got the money to buy a new one!

 

you need to tell him that you he is only allowed to take the car after the check clears... this just sounds weird...

post up your craigs list posting... I wanna see it...

 

SCAM!! man big scam. is it a cachiers check?? if so its probably fake and you will get it and deposit the check the bank will find out its a fake and automaticly withdrawl the money from your account and you will not be able to do a dam thing about it. tell the guy you want cash or pay pal. if he keeps on insisting a check its a scam, ive had it tried on me twice.

 

Well its a cashiers check. He is having a agent pick it up. He said i need to cash the check and pay for the agent. Anyway i can check the check when it comes? Just take it to a head bank and have the exam it. If fake I will turn him in. Simple as that. right?

He said money order or cashiers check. I said either is fine.

Hello Tom[/align] Thanks for the response to my enquiry.Im interesting in purchasing
it and will want you to withdraw the advert from the Market so that no other buyer will come for this as am buying it. I can only issue you a
certified check in US dollars that will be okay for you because im too busy arranging things for my relocation,after which my mover will come over for the pick up,that would be after you must have recieved your payment.I've read through with the advert and am satisfied with the details and conditions so please i will need your name,full address and your phone# to issue out the payment[/align][/align]Its a scam man[/align]

 

yeah thats a scam.

 

Okay i will just let him send the check and turn it into the cops and let them tryt to catch him. I hate theives.
