David

Hello,

Thanks for the swift response, just to let you know that am okay with
the condition and price of the item as it is on the Ad, am ready for
its purchase and i know there might be other potential buyers so am
willing to add extra $30 so that you can keep it in my favor. My form
of payment will be by mailing you Check via UPS 2days local delivery.

I'll be responsible for the pick-up and the movers/pick up money
will be included in your payment to avoid delay and to enable movers
to schedule an appropriate time for the pick-up at your location after
check has been cashed,as i have other properties to be moved alongside
with yours.

I would have love to come for the viewing but due to my work frame
that might not be possible, I hope you understand and this would be
based on trust. Kindly get back to me with your full name and address
including your cell number so i can make out payment to you.

Best Regards.


In this scam the scammer is NOT interested in your 'item. He wants to steal your money.

The scammer will ask the Seller to cash a fake Cashiers Check/Money Order that is for more than the price of the 'item'. He will then ask the Seller to send the over payment to his Fake Shipper / Agent by Western Union or Moneygram to pay for the pickup and shipping.

The check / Money Order will be fake. It will look real. Do not deposit or cash it.
Even if your bank tells you that the check/Money Order has cleared, it does not mean they will take responsibility for it when it is returned. They are required by law to give you access to money within a few days.

But later, when the check/Money Order goes to a clearance house or the original bank, the check/Money Order will be returned and you will be held responsible.

It can take days, weeks, or even months for the fraud to be discovered and you will be required to pay all of the money back, regardless of who sent the check/Money Order to you. The bank also may have you charged with 'Financial Fraud'.

Please contacta moferatorstor if you have a question or information about this post.



Please do not tell the scammer he is posted here.

John,
$400 is as low as we are prepared to go at this time. We will be here the majority of the day today and the set is already disassembled and ready to transport. Please let me know a time you would like to come by and view the set.

Regards,
Xxxxxx

John, I'm quite sorry...but I'm not one of those 'stupid' Americans that you are undoubtedly seeking. Please take you business and lack of decency elsewhere.

Your Mom would be ashamed of you were she to know how you stole from others.
