Oh man - that was great!
I did talk to my bank (company credit union) about wire transfer and they did indicate it was the safest way to go (exept for cash, i guess).
However, they did say they just had a fraudulent wire! Was discovered quickly but is still shocking. The indicated they needed 24 hours to be confident.
If i go forward with this I will let you all know if it goes wrong - I plan on having long enough pauses between accepting funds and completing xfer to be safe.
(Of course, I received call today from local guy interested in my Cab!!!)

A car with "issues"? Maybe it should see a psychologist who specializes in 25 year old Portia...Porsches with emotional issues....

hey lucke is my car just out of your price range? You keep posting about these "fishy" cars and cars with issues....I just had a PPI done on my car from someone who wanted to buy my car and the mechanic said my car was "an exemplary" porsche. If its not out of your price range you should consider it. Many here will vouch for my car. If not, I'll drive it

WitchDoctor

Oshin,

A did you use tire spray on your drive way so it would match your tires?

Oshin11

No its just a wet floor. haha

That's excellent that you've contacted you credit union, and you'll not have any trouble as you're doing all the "right things". But now you've got my curiosity up...any more info on the "fardulent wire"? I'm sure that's something that our "financial infrastructure" doesn't like to be made for "public consumption" ! I'm also curious as to "who" would eat the costs on a "fraudulent wire"...would it be one of the financial institutions, the Federal Reserve banking system, or the customer? I know in my previous lives, with literally huge amounts (Billion$ upon billions) being moved around daily, it was always a pi$$ing contest as to who would "eat it" if windows were missed (someone's going to pay the interest), but I never encounterd a "fraud" situation.

The fraudulent wire at my credit union resulted in the funds being returned/withdrawn from the recipients account - in this case it was a relatively small amount, not the billions you mention - but still opens the door to scammers. I was shocked to hear this was possible.
When the wire arrived I went to my credit union office and told them i wanted them to aggressively investigate the validity of the wire. They handed it off to an inDUHvidual at the corporate office - his email reply to me stated that i should feel confident the wire was valid because "usually the sending bank verifies the funds before sending the wire - as we do here" - this reply kinda had me believe this guy did nothing to check, so i needed to highten his exposure just a bit. My reply back to him was something like - " Now that i know that you have personally verified the validity of this wire transfer i can carry out the transaction" - (and copied myself on the email)
I am not too worried as the buyer is not showing up (in person now) until next week to take delivery. A bad wire will surface before then --- and i moved the funds already.
I am also interested in the fraud wire - i will go back and see if the local person who mentioned it will provide details.

Very interesting, and I'd be curious too...thanks!
