Thanks Ken Click here to read more about these kind of scams. Remember: DO NOT do business with anyone who offers to send you payment for a higher amount than your selling price with the understanding that you'll send back the balance. Be suspicious of anyone claiming to be acting on behalf of a "client" or another "customer". Be suspicious of anyone claiming to be from Nigeria or West Africa If you agree to accept a check payment, then do not send anything, gear or "change" before the check cleared. And be careful, if you manage to clear a fraudulent check then you may be liable for the damages if the bank finds out later. Make sure your bank authenticates the check. If it sounds to good to be true, then it probably is.This username has been disabled. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #2 August 29, 2012 He has gone so far as to send me a very poorly inkjet printed "cashier's check" postmarked from Canada. I'm going to see if my crime scene guys can hit it with ninhydrin and see if we get lucky. Maybe he'll be in AFIS. I'm going ot try to get his mailing address as well to see if we can't get some charges brought up on him. Cross your fingers, lets see what happens.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
