I have heard of this on Some bird message board I go to and other places. They will pretend to want info on the item for sale and ask for a lot of information and if they can get a enough they can start identity theft on you if you are to smart for that they go to plan B. Here is how it works, they send you the 200 or in one case it was 3,000 bucks extra for the item for sale. Usally they get the check to you on Saturday so you can not cash it till monday or a friday so when it comes back bad you are already sunk. Ok now you have the money for the tractor or what ever you are selling. then you get this message about a sick friend or his wife bought a lawn mower or some other bull that they are strapped and need the extra deposit back but you can keep the asking price and they will be there to pick up the tractor (or what ever) when planned. BUT they need the money back right away so could you wire it ( and You can keep some for the wire fee and your troubles cause these guys are real nice and honest) Now on Monday their check comes back as a closed account and you check with the wire company and the money was picked up and you try to contact the people but find out they don't exist. Some one below said you can't be scamed because 1: they don't know where the tractor is 2: they didn't get your bank account Info and 3: they didn't get the tractor till you had cash in hand. Well they don't care about the tractor, or car, or whatever you are selling or your bank account. Just another scam. Yes the nigerians are pulling it but so are a lot of american scumbags and probably a lot of other people.
