I am going to try and make this short. A few months ago I had my sand rail for sell on another web site.I had recieved an email that just didn't sound lagite,So I contacted the site administrator and sure enough it was fake. Here is a short description on what they due. First they E mail you a verry intelectual responce. They then agree to buy your item, and set up a delivery company to pick up the item , becouse they say they are out of the states.So they send you a fake money order for the price of the car, and shipping, you then have to cash the money order, then pay the person picking up the item( which is usally a few thousand dollars worth) then off goes your item, By the time the bank finds out that the money order is fake, TOO LATE, your item , plus the cash or check you gave the driver is now GONE.And you still owe the bank the full amount of the money order. So if I would have fell for the scam on me here is what I would have been out.
1. $ 40,000.00 long travel buggy, $ 2500.00 that I gave the delivery driver (which he is in on it also) and $ 42,500.00 to the bank who would of cashed the money order. which would have been a grand total of $ 82,500.00.
So be carefull selling stuff via the internet,unfortanantly there are no good,low life ,scum sucking , pieces of _ _ _ _ !!!!!!!!! out there.

 

holy ****!! Are you serious?
There are scammers on the internet?

 

what would of been cool to do was call the FBI and have them put a GPS on the sand rail set up a sting op on them and nailed there Edit then post it on the internet that they got BUSTED. stop some of this B.S.

 

that usually happens to me EVERY TIME I put something up on a site like this, Turbo Diesel Registry, The Diesel Stop, or All Diesel Motorsports. its the same thing every time, 'I have a client that is very interested in your INSERT ITEM HERE' blah blah blah

beware!

 

It's easy enough to have your bank verify the cashiers check prior to releasing anything. I sold a motorcycle to a guy in canada, he sent a cashiers check...I had my bank call the originating bank....verified, shipped...everyone happy.
