Scam ....the check will be for too much and they will ask you to refund the excess.....then when the "certified " check bounces you are screwed not your bank . This is a very common scam and it WORKS !

Hello, My name is Hevansta Mergatroid. I am the exHeadhunter of the shrunken head treasury of Nigeria. I have a problem only you can help me solve. There is over $10 million in "excess" US currency left from our last May day parade. I want to give it to you.................

I politely declined to negotiate a sale to him... the only place I advertised was Rennlist classifieds and this forum...

Or, the "certified" check, (which looks oh so real) will be drawn on a bank which you won't be able to locate, but they are banking on you shipping the goods before it clears.... Obviously you won't worry about that anyway since it is "certified".... The bad part, as Jim B says, it works... A news item in the Triangle a few months ago about a woman who sold a motorcycle, got the check, delivered the bike, and, a few days later, was shocked to find out the bank didn't exist. AND, no recourse.....

So tell him to wire the money to you, and it's a deal.

Love it!!!

that's great rixter...your 'dumbass' routine is too believable...LOL

I doubt you will hear from them again! If they DO agree to wire the $$ (which I seriously doubt)...be VERY VERY CAREFUL about what bank account you use. These scammers could take the routing info and account numbers and clean you out!

I received a similar email today, and I also have an ad in Rennlist. So it would seem someone is attempting to scam the Rennlist classifieds....

their's is a simple numbers game , much like my approach was to dating, if you ask enough someone probably will say yes. Every NO just gets you closer to a Yes.

Jim, were you driving the old Brown 928 when you were asking??? (LOL)
