Sometimes they don't even want the item. They send you a rediculously large amount of money for something not worth as much and tell you they don't have a bank to cash the check so they want you to cash it and send them back the rest of the money and let you keep some of it.

I recently had some douche trying to scam me on a car.. at first I thought it was a legit local deal.. then I'm told that the person lives 3000km's away and will have the car delivered.. wanted me to send a money order for $3500 for a car that was probably worth 2x that, and tried to make it sound like the deal was somehow through ebay and was covered through their buyer protection.. blah blah blah... I knew right away it was a scam but exchanged 20+ emails over several days asking stupid questions just to **** with them...

I think next time I get an email like the OP I'm going to go along with it and when the delivery truck comes for thier package I'll send them 50lbs or bricks.. or perhaps a bomb... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/satan.gif.9c6a335ed7aeeed3ee273e573f1fcaac.gif

check out 419eater.com for scambaiting tips I like to tell them i dont have enough cash for shipping right away and cant wait for the check to clear because I am moving and need just enough in cash to cover shipping. It has worked a couple times. then wipe your *** with the check and send it back.

I don't see how it can be a scam. He says for one that you can wait until payment clears. And then it says that someone gets sent in person to pick up the item.
You'd think if it was a scam, it would say something like "as soon as you get the check, mail the item", etc.

nub, once the check clears, it will take a few days for it to bounce since it was a fake. then you get fuxed in the *** and you have no money and no item.

Are they not local? I always ask people to meet me at the local police station to exchange the goods and cash. Sadly, I've never been able to buy anything from Craigslist. LOL

 

[rollerdj 10+ year member]

take the check, and mail them a bag full of shit. That's what they deserve IMHO.
