Re: craig's list scam?

SB,

Here's how the scam works.  They send you a cashier's check that's
well over the amount agreed on.  Then they follow it up immediately
with an email that says "Whoops, I sent the check to you that I meant
to send someone else and overpaid.  Please cash the check and then
wire me the difference."  The cashier's check looks real, and a bank
will cash the check.  All appear well, but the bank is actually
cashing the check against YOUR money.  It takes a week for the check
to clear.  Then, the bank contacts you and says it's no good.  But,
you've wired the money and it's gone.  That's their profit and your
loss.

The amount was that he was comfortible with. I responded that the car was $350,000. not $35,000. He responded with that he was comfortible with the amount. Well, then I unloaded with language a french man would blush with and told him to go pound sand, politely. Get the picture. joe machado? 3 cars short this week, not to scammers though
