Below are the questions i have for you. 1)is the item in good condition? 2)is any westernunion location where you to send the balance money money arround you? 3)can you make sure you get the m/o cash at ur bank the sameday you receive it? 4)can you allow me to send DHL for the pick up and complet the transaction the day you receive the moneyorder?

Destino Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 I'd tell him that you aren't able to wire any money anywhere, that any refund will be issued to the buyer after the moneyorder clears your bank account, and that he can then pass on any extra to his client in africa.

skinfan2k Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 i would defintely play along with this idiot.. like a previous OP, it was hilarous to play along Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsBry Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 I'd tell him that any extra money on the money order is my tip. I'd also send it to him through whatever carrier I want. His client is none of my concern, that's between them. I say he's trying to scam you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred Jones Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Sounds like a classic scam. Sometimes it takes a week or two for the money to clear your bank even if your bank notifies you that they received the payment. The people on the other end can simply cancel the payment and you won't know for up to a week or two. Banks don't have time to track every transaction that comes in. I would forward nothing.

notoriouslyKEN Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Definately fraud. They money order is fake and will eventually bounce. Usually after you ship him the extra money. An old trick that surfaced with some success at least 5 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coooleeey Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 This is definitely a scam. I recently sold a vehicle on Criagslist. Both times I listed the vehicle I got people trying to scam me. The first time I almost got burned but found info on their website which helped. The second time I simply responded and said that I wasn't interested in working with a third party. I also asked to have the seller contact me directly. I never heard back...go figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinfan2k Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 this is a classic scheme on ebay.... i was selling a portable dvd player and got an offer of 600 dollars for a ****ty $70 player.. Unreal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gchwood Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 This is a common fraud senario, there are numerous FBI warnings out regarding this type of scam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EersSkins05 Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 I have a hard time taking seriously the intricate plot of anyone with grammar, spelling, and typo problems that are that severe. It's a scam. Just about any time you ever see additional conditions being placed upon a transaction that should be as easy as ebay, you're dealing with a scammer.

Symbol Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Sounds like he's phishing. Don't trust anything that's from Africa unless you're buying it in Africa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
