I will repeat it again : no wire transfers, no western union or similar payments, no cashier checks etc. It doesnt matter if you are buyer or pay to rent house for holidays use credit card. If you are selling and they ask you to send money .... WTF ! RED FLAG ! Some scammers/hackers tryed to scam me on ebay. They "won" the ithem I was selling but I newer received payment and they kept asking to ship. I was getting emails every 5 min generated from ebay. I contacted ebay and they told me I better remove the listing and post it again to stop the emails from coming. So be careful on ebay aslo.
Also look at this listing, seller has negative feedback for scamming someone a year ago for same mirrors http://www.ebay.com/itm/Side-mirrors...ZYhS-p&vxp=mtr |

op I can not believe you got to western union then figure it was a scam. Really where have you been.
I have a whole collection of fake cashier check these scammer send in hope you will wire them the extra cash they sent you by mistake. When I was board and had some extra time on my hands I use to mess with these idiots, it usually end with them threating to call the FBI on me. Last edited by Maestro; 02-02-2017 at 05:44 PM.. |

I only played along to try and figure out how they try and get money out of you. Some are very complicated, others just hope you send the product before you realize the check is fake. Then other like this one want to you send extra money they sent you to someone else and they always want it in a hurry, since the clock is ticking before you find out it fake. I did one time have someone show up trying to pick up the items, and I just said where is the cash the person insisted they or their friend paid me but could not remember any of the detail.

Definitely trust your gut but also, don't meet anyone in a place you're not familiar with.
The victim in this incident was one of my employees best friend. http://www.fox13news.com/news/local-...33279391-story

I would have stopped responding from the moment I read "paypal"
If someone else is coming to pick it up, let that person bring the cash with him/her. Im actually surprised he didnt ask you to give $700 cash to the guy picking it up.

I usually try to get them to send a check, if not I just waste as much time as I can of theirs since its time they wont be scamming someone else.
