Any o you guys and gals trying to sell something on craigslist.com?
Ive never done this b4 but im trying to help someone i know sell there 4runner, thing is, i have a responce and now it seems like a scam, but what i cant figure out is how its a scam.
anyone come across something like this and not felt good?
I am pleased to inform you that based
on the state of the car in the description you gave
me, I , my fiancés (wife to be) and
my boss has finally accepted your price,
hopes the engine is serviced and oil changed as
we(my wife and I) can't wait
to see the car parked in our garage.
However, My boss made out a certified cashiers check
of($17,800)
before he travelled to london on a business trip,
for a previous car and its charges etc,
but it was unfortunately sold.
The amount on the check he deposited for the car is
bigger than what should be
paid to you now, so the check is now meant for the
total expenses which includes the purchase of your
car,the pick up of the car from its present location
and other necessaries.
However he has instructed us to
carry on with this transaction; but due to company
policy this check has to be made out in this amount
to you because company policy only allows a refund
payment on one cashier check.
So you're required to
deduct the cost of your car ($11,500)and send the
balance of($6,300) to our agent via western union
money transfer or money gram tranfer to enable him
offsett arrangements.
After payment has reached you and balance sent back to
the agent, The agent will come for the pick
up on an open vehicle
inspect and then drive to us.
So you dont have to bother yourself about
the pick up and shipping arrangements,
while title papers and other necessary documets will be sent
by you to my boss company for proper
hand over to me.
Please Confirm this and provide
FULL NAME,ADDRESS and PHONE NUMBER for
check payment to be delivered to you.
Thanks for your time and co-operation.
Best Regard,
Richard Clark..
all i can gather is that the payment is phony and the garanteed check i send back is actual money and i get screwed in the end!
what do you think?
