Someone tried to scam me

Ok so I posted a few weeks ago about selling my car. Seemed kinda of like a scam, but not totally.

OK so I've been contacting the guy, everything seems good, but its all a little too convenient.

Well today I get his "cashiers check" in the mail...its a real, legal document, but not from a bank, its some kind of holding company. So its kind of like being in escrow.

It has my money, plus money to pay the shipper. so after I send the car, he has 30 days to pull the money back, then hell have both the cash and the car.

I told him to fuck off. Heres his email

johnmarcus004@yahoo.com

Where did he want the car shipped to?

No way I would go for something like that -- it has to be a local bank, cashiers check or money order, or GTFO! Good call imo.

yeah....I dont know where he wanted it shipped, I used my moms PO box address, she took it to the bank for me and checked it out...she used to work there so they took care of it

was he a Nigerian prince?

lol, no, just some guy

told ya so :p

Hey....I didnt say you were wrong...I just wanted to give the guy a chance

Well, I'm glad you proceeded with caution. It pays to be skeptical ;)

Relisted and the same SOB bought it again....FML

That's messed up.

IMHO I'd just trade it in on a new car @ this point. Bond can drive anything!.:lol:

Yep i knew it was a scam when you posted about it. There are a ton of tehse guys out there. Which is why i will only deal with locals or people willing to drive to meet me.

my friend got 2 fake cashiers checks when he tried to sell his bronco. i wonder how many people actually fall for those types of things.

Me too, i have asked scammers that question and they never reply after i call them out. Or they jsut reply sorry, i will send you another check and then another fake check comes.

this guy actually sent a real check....but its one that he can cancel within 30 days and get his money back
