Got the e-mail the other day about a cashiers check for payment for my 460. Got another e-mail with the "cashier's check in the amount of $12,000 - cash deduct sales price and wire the rest to...." story. Probably won't do any good, but anyone know who / where to report this to?
Thanks
Galen

If it came in the mail it can be reported to the postmaster as mail fraud. Also your state attorney generals office. Of course as common as these scams are now don't expect them to get too excited.

Because the U.S. Postal Service was involved, you could refer it to the FBI. However, from the response they have given to bank fraud cases I know, the FBI is too busy chasing international terrorists to help individual Americans. In other words, nothing is likely to get done.

If you received info, money etc. through mail..It is handled by the Postal Inspectors office. They will in turn bring in other agencies as needed. If someone comes to your door or otherwise attempts to handle it in person, you need to contact local law enforcement who will turn it over to appropriate agencies.
If you have tried to put this money through your bank, the bank will notify feds as needed.
This is actually a case of seller/buyer beware.
These scams are happening more now..
