Selling Stuff on this site.

Hello,
Thanks for the mail, I am okay with the price of the Said Item,my mode of payment will be Cashier"s Check. So i have a Business Associates over there in the States that will send you the check of $4,900. So all i want you to do now is to recieve this Payment from my Business Associates and deduct your selling price from the funds and then send the remaining excess funds to the Shipping Company.

You are not to worry about Shipping, I have a reputable Shipping Company that i have been using for long now, so i am sure they will Ship the Item right to the destination i want it shipped. Also they have got a lot in the states and also in Europe to ship ship for me. The remaining excess funds should be sent to the Shipping Company via Western Union Money Transfer and the charges to get Funds transfered to them should be deduct from the excess funds you are sending to them ( Shipping Company).

For this i am compesating you with the sum of $100, so the total amount will be $1300. If you are ready to transact with me, Which i believe you will certainly do, i will want you to provide me with the following details needed for the Payment to get to you :

NAME YOU WANT THE CHECK TO BEAR:..... ..... ..... ..... ...
ADDRESS YOU WANT THE PAYMENT SENT:..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... .....
PHONE NUMBER:..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ...(Home,Work and Cell)
PAGER NUMBER:..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ... Will await to read from you soonest with the details needed immeidately, so as to facilitate the pace of the transaction. Thanks..... ..... ..... ..... ..... .....

Thanks for the advise. Even tho Im Canadian, and can figure out when something is a scam. I wanted to get the imput from the people that post here on a regular basis, and possibly prevent this from happening to anyone out there. Stupidvisor Im not, so dont assume so. We Canadians have more on the ball then some give us credit for.

I had the same thing yesterday. I had advertised a parts manual on the Ferguson and this fellow came back from Spain. He wanted all the info that Barry has mentioned, but with the following.
3rd party involvement. He was owed by a fellow who would send me a cheque, I was to take out my share and send him the rest. What a scam. I put a spam killer on him. Sent in a report and hopefully he doesn't show up again.

DON'T GO THERE

Just as I thought. I seems very interested, because I received 3 more e-mails from him yesterday. I asked him why he didnt deal with the shipping company himself? No reply. I told him I lived in Ontario Canada, he didnt care where I lived. So I will just sit tight and see what happens. Thanks for all the advise. Barry
PS - Im not falling for it

However, on the 1 in a million that it is legit (Ha!). Tell his that you will only accept a certified check payable in Can.$ drawn from (name bank both in the UK and near you.) and not one where you have an account. That way if they accept the check drawn on their own bank and it later is Bogus then they cannot just raid your account to cover their failure to secure the funds.

Bottom line this is a Scam.
