2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission WARNING to TDR classifieds sellers

[dpuckett]

In case there are some of the membership that are a little more trusting than I, I received an email reply to a classified ad I am running for my pickup. The guy wanted to send me a "certified cheque"check for double the asking price, sight unseen, and have and agent deliver it, and send him with my vehicle and a personal check for the difference. Wanted my physical address, pictures, and phone numbers. It seemed real fishty to me, so I removed my address from hte ad, and forwarded the email to Steve St Laurent, and figured I'd post a warning here, as well. There is one already in the 1st Gen forum. I am posting here and in the OTHER forum to try to get as much exposure as possible to the membership.

Our state Attorney General posted a warning about this "Nigerian Scam" the other day. They bring a cashier's check for much more than the amount asked for a vehicle, & leave with the vehicle & your check for the difference. They are gone & have cashed your check before you find out that their "cashier's check" was counterfeited. Talk about a double screwing!
