The sad part is all the people that fall for that.

yeah, that is the sad part.

[busa-saga]

he didnt offer you 25 bucks to withdraw the ad? must be a rookie scammer i usually send them a link of similar items based on where they live ending the convo with "try this guy"!..that usually ends all communications

[Aggie12]

i actually wonder how many would fall for that i mean it must be effective if they keep doing it.

[OUTLAW1300]

No one is dumb enough to accept a "certified check" from someone they don't know. Common, if your going to attempt a scam, put some thought into it! And don't send people emails demanding stuff.

[outlawbusa]

You're right though, I wonder what's the next step after getting the minimal information?

[outlawbusa]

Probably tell you the check is for too much and want you to wire the remainder of the money back to them, right?

Give him the address of the local FBI office and tell him it's your addy.

And ask that he include a copy of this email with the check and his return address so you can prompty send him the product listed. (be generic like that, "the product listed", don't list what it actually is)

Maybe the FBI are bored and will go after him cause once he mails the check, it's fraud.

I've spoken with them a couple times on these types of scams. They won't touch it unless you have already actually been a victom of the scam, otherwise they say there is no crime.

Of course, buy then it's too late.

I get the same one man (like that actual response) or I get deleted for posting one ad. Either way I get screwed I actually just saved my advertisement on a word doc and kept reposting it after it was deleted. as for the scams sad thing is they must work cause they wouldn't do it if it didn't and theres not a lot anyone can do about it I already looked into getting these people busted it's a lost cause.

[head east busa]

I have been known to toy with them for a week or so but I've been so busy lately that I just hit delete.

there is a scam in so-cal renting houses....

just like all the others, the price is too to-be true

and primary contact is email.......you are instructed to send them money and they will mail you the keys.
