Another scam? Got this e-mail about my truck.

Hello seller,
My name is Susan Mary from 830 Stewart Drive Unit#B406 Sunnyvale, CA 94085 I'm highly interested in immediate purchase of your(1988 Chevy 1500 Silverado 4x4 - $1200
)Am very okay with the price and condition.
But i will not be able to make payment in CASH due to the fact that i will be leaving the state for FRANCE tomorrow on speculative purpose.So as per payment i will have to instruct my colleague to handle the payment, my colleague is presently in the state.
He has confirm me that there will be no problem about the payment.He will issue out {MUTUALLY CERTIFIED MONEY ORDERS} which is 100% more like cash in hand by your name and mail out to you via UPS courier service.The payment would only take 2 days to get to you.This is the only means of payment I can offer you due to my departing schedule...
About the pick up i will handle the pick up charges, a reliable diplomatic shipping company will have thier shipping agent come for the pick up, they have been shipping my goods for over 5 year now without inconvinience, their charges is low and will have their shipping agent come for immidiate PICK UP as soon as payment is made....
So to make payment out to you, you'll have to email me the:
1,Name to be written on the check...........................
2,Address to send the check.................................
3,Your contact telephone number...............................
PLEASE NOTE :: ITEM WILL NOT BE RELEASE UNTILL PAYMENT IS MADE
COMPLETELY...
I will be looking forward to your response

Ditto did you list it on cragslist? This is worded just like some of the scams Ive gotten when listing there:mad:
 
Play along with them and scam them back.
 
Tell her sure you'll accept her check and the vehicle will be available for pick-up 30 days after the date of deposit of the check in your bank. Whomever comes to pick-up the vehicle will need to provide 2 forms of picture I.D., which copies will be made of, and be photographed.

There will be an additional charge of $200, payable in U.S. monetary cash funds, to be paid at the time of pick up of the vehicle.

Otherwise, it's a SCAM! Which it is.

If you feel benevolent copy and mail the message to the person named. They may be real and have had their ID stolen.

The more anyone tries to convince you a check is good the higher it will bounce.

If you feel like being a truly good samaritan contact your local police fraud unit and see if they want to set up a sting operation.
 
SCAM

Is the truck in PA and buyer in California??? If so she is willing to buy a truck for $1200.00 and ship it across the country.

Yep I would notify Craigslist or wherever you had it listed and contact the cops. They may have already had some dealings with this person and are intching for a sting.
 
I dont think I have ever heard anyone talk like that when buying a truck........

OK the red shows improper thought (cough reads like some here). Am very okay with the price and condition. Umm how about this one,leaving the state for FRANCE on speculative purpose and my colleague is presently in the state. Then there is has confirm me that there will be no problem.

I laughed at which is 100% more like cash. This is good they will send it via UPS courier service Tell them UPS can not deliver to you since you lost your address and only the USPS can find it.

I liked due to my departing schedule Dam their schedule died! Item will not be released untill payment is made. Like you would let them take it and say we will send you money.

It is a scam but play along with it and try to get them to come to you. Have some K5 brothers there and beat the shiz out of them or call a news station to be there.
 
SCAM!! Someone just tried to scam me when I was selling a transmision. They say they will send it UPS that way they are not commiting mail fraud. The person that wanted the tranny was in Cal. So that was the first clue. There are trannys a lot closer to them. By the time they pay shipping they could have bought a new one. I just strung them along for a while but there is not much else you can do.

On MSNBC last week, they had a special on ID theft. Showing how Meth Heads support their adiction. Since there so wired up, they can stay up for hours, fishing for victoms. I would bet, you were one of at least 100 people that received that email. Be careful :wink1:
 
Wonder if i'll be getting an e-mail back? :deal::haha:





Hello Susan,
I am willing to accept payment by money order through the usps for $1000, and then when the payment is final, and your colleague comes to pickup the truck, he can give me the final $200 in cash. Your colleague will also need to show 2 forms of I.D and sign a bill of sale. If your still wanting to buy the truck, please feel free to e-mail me back.

Thanks!
Jack

I would of closed it like this:

Yea, it's a scam where the checks are bad, but the bank doesn't usually find out until a month or two later and then the bank fines you for depositing them. There was a big thing on TV explaining it. DON'T deposit the checks at all, even if she has 10 forms of ID.

For fun, tell her you have a colleague in CA that can pick-up the check and deliver the truck too. I'll stop by on my lunch break and bring a camera so you can have her picture to file along with a complaint to your local PD.
