In reply to a for sale ad



#7

Sorry this doesn't really fit in with calc talk, but I've had super advice about spammers here, and would like to share one of the offers to my "for sale" ad. I guess I should send my personal info to this person. A bit of copy and paste? What I can"t figure out, is even if they had my address etc. so what? Boy, have I a lot to learn, but 300+3000=3300 in my thinking, not 3200, so this person must desperatly need a calculator! Who knows?


Hello
Thanks for your reply.I will offer you $300.yes iam still very much interested and i love
the v41c ' ' ' ' " " and stat module, all port covers, and case, it's ok.i have just contacted my client there in the state and he promise to send you the check, for him to include
$3000.00, so you should be expecting a cashier check of $3200.00.the excess funds
is for my shipper to handle the shipping without givng you any stress.so
immediately you get the check,go cash same day and send the balance
to my shipper same day to enable him come for pick up of the v41c ' ' ' ' " " and stat module, all port covers, and case,and some goods in his care. I hope i can count on you sending the
balance to my shipper same day to fasten the transaction.if you are ok with
this email asap to enable my client send you the check. Regards, meanwhle
let me know ur cantact, i.e ur full name add, and phone# so as to fax it to
my client to issue u the check imidiately.
Mrs.Linda

Hey, many thanks again for the advice I've been given on this forum.

Nice try :)

When I tried to sell a mobile phone on the net a guy from Indonesia contactet me and promised me a premium of 50percent to the price if I accept his credit card.

After asking for another way of payment I never heard of him again. *lol*

Beware of fraud!

#9

My ad drew two or three variations on the above. In the case of the $3000 plus check I presume it will be a bogus check? You wonder who falls for this sort of thing?


#10

I would be tempted to go for it, just to get the check and turn it into the Check agency who issued it! Let them pursue the fraud as they would be the ones to loose from this fraud if you (or others) actually succeeded in cashing these checks. And if it were legit, well, let the check company refund their money and offer an apology (I can't imagine you having to do this, though.).

The downside of course is you need to provide a mailing address to these scum. But the check agency just might go after them.

But if you play in the mud, you just might get dirty, so I advise to just ignore. But it is very tempting to send the dogs after them.


#11

Their "check agency" is called an Ink Jet Printer...

Not exactly, Ron. The way this scam works is that the scammer forges a bank draft or money order for more than the price of the goods - ostensibly this is a payment due to him from someone else. The victim banks the draft, which initially clears, as the international banking system is less than instantaneous (several days delay, typically, where third world banks are concerned). Cheered by the appearance of the funds in his account, the victim then sends the goods and initiates a wire transfer of the balance of the funds to the scammer. A day or two later, the victim's bank discovers the fraud and reverses the transaction, leaving the victim out for the goods (usually not much in the overall scheme of things, even for a 15C!) and the money.

This is a variation - one of several - on the infamous 419, or advance fee, frauds. Just google on 419 or advance fee fraud and you'll find lots of information on it. The perps are often, but not invariably, from Nigeria and a few other central African nations.

Best,
