Just another scam? Or?

[Pvt. Maggot]

Hah, this is never ending, got another e-mail from another guy, he actually e-mailed me back a few times.


Happy new year to you there,kindly let me know if you still have this vehicle for sale and what is the present condition of the engine?


Still have the truck, the motor was rebuilt before I bought it, and you can tell. It runs TOP gobs of power, has no trouble breaking the tires loose.Thanks


Good Day,
How are you today?I am happy to read your email concerning the sale of
your vehicle,i am intrested in it and willing to purchase it as soon as
possible.I will handle the shipment myself via my company shippers,
They will come for pick up when you must have gotten your cash at
hand from the bank.They will prepare all shipment papers and also bill of sales.
The vehicle will also be insured by my company shippers.
When you must have change the title to my name (James Bright).

This is due to the fact that my mode of payment will be Via Bank Check As
there are too many scams on internet with bogus account.Once you are
satisfy with my mode of payment you can proceed to delete the advert of the
vehicle and email me your name,address and also phone number to send the check.
You will deposit the check as soon as you recieve it and i will wait for your bank to verify
and clear the check before we proceed with shipment arrangements.
I will await your email today if this is Okay by you.

Hello,
I am well, If you want the truck, I will only take money in the form of cash, or usps money order. Send me a 1000$ money order, and your shippers can pay me 200 in cash, they will need to have proof of I.D of course. So if your still intrested, get back to me and we can work out the details.

Good day to you.
Jack



Jack,
I will not be able to pay you via money order becos i am a Sailor and i am right now on the Sea so this is why i have insisted on Bank check which is going to be from my company.LIke i said ealier on...I will wait for your bank to verify and clear the check before the shipping co comes to your door to pick the vechile.They will also prepare all shipment papers like Bill of Sales and and all documentd will be sign at the notary before the pick up.

Let me know if this is okay by you and reply me with your full name and address to mail the Bank check.


Thanks.

James.



This is pretty fun, So what do you guys say the next step is?

 

[blazin_blazer]

let him send ya a check, then contact the bank, the check is from.. yourself(not thru your bank) and contact account owner personally and see if they are aware you have 1 of their checks for $1200, bet they don't(and they will help find perp), and if some1 comes after the truck call the law!

Time to tell him, since he has contacts in with the shipping company, that they need to pick up the USPS money order, and bring it with them to pick up the truck. No other form of payment will be accepted. Since he is a sailor, who is right now on the Sea, He must have a contact on the mainland to arrange shipping through, so why can't they bring the payment in the only form you are willing to accept outside of US currency.

He can't bring cash because then the scam doesn't work.

If you log onto craigslist, they explain why you should not accept any kinds of checks like that. You're gonna get screwed big time if you do.

Sorry I forgot the sarcastic smiley. I am more than aware that it is a scam, just giving him something to string the guy along a little longer.
