helpppppppppppppppp asap
I've even had these on an old antique English table we were trying to sell on Craigslist. Table was only $300, but the guy was in Mexico and wanted to send me a check for $1500 due to banking blah blah blah and could I take the rest and pay some others that he owed money too as well. Many of these originate in Nigeria, but have had quite a few lately from various countries in Europe. Just a get rich quick scheme to dink you out of money before thier check bounces as it is a forged one.
Also, if you do contact some of them (which I would not bother) tell them you take cash in USD only and do NOT give them any personnal info.
Mate of mine who used to sell Minis has a wall full of these checks. I don't waste the energy on them.
I will give a nod to Craigslist though as I've had scammers contact from loads of different websites. I've used Craigslist to sell various things and have had some really good luck with them. I never put a phone number or email address in the listing though. I just use their website contact feature. Sold many things I've listed the same day!
Cheers
