Ok, so I have an L28 for sale on Craigslist

- - -

i saw the listing of your ads on craigslist.org and am very much interested in it,i want to know if it's still up for sales.
REGARDS.

yes it is still for sale.

hi,thanks for the mail the price $200.00 is okay by me i will send the payment via moneyorder the payment will include the shipper's fund so when the payment get to you, you will have to send the shipper's fund to the shipper for him to come for the pickup.if you are comfortable with this arrangement i will need your full name,address and phone number so that i can send the payment

no

you must walk to my house with the money order in person and carry this engine home in your arms. That is the only shipping arrangement I will accept.

 

At least it wasn't the Nigerian Prince offering $4.5 million if you help him transfer his $20 billion into your bank account to get his $$$ to America.

Yes... here's my bank and account number...

 

I'm not sure I understand. It sounds like he would send you a money order for the engine and shipping, and once you get cash for the money order, the "shipper" gets paid and comes to pick up the engine. Correct??

 

Its way too generic. Its a scam. he asked no questions about the engine or even mentions that it is an engine he is interested in.

Like I'm really going to ship a 500 pound engine I have advertised on a local Craigslist ad. He sends a bogus check, it clears at first, I send the engine plus the extra money to him. Then the check bounces and they take all the money back out of my account. I'm sure if I got the check in the mail it would have a shipping address outside of the USA.

Or I depost the check and wait.... for a couple weeks. Then my bank possibly files criminal charges against me for trying to deposit a fake money order. It has happened like that to some people!

You usually end up cashing a bogus check / money order.

 

I wouldn't deal with a 3rd party even if it was legit and the only money order I would ever accept would be a US Postal Money order, because every town has a post office but not every other money order is excepted everywhere.

 

Same thing happened to my mom and they closed her account and wanted her to pay like $8,000

 

If Thats The Case Make Sure They Get An International Money Order From The Postal Office.. The Only Way I'd Do That.

 

I've often wanted to open an account with only a few bucks in it, with the bank my brother works at and when the $4.5 billion comes in, i will split it with the bank. Knowing it won't come in, but just to watch the scam happen. If there is only like $5 in the account, he cant do any damage. Just like my paypal account only has money that i deposit to cover paypal purchases and nothing else.
It would be interesting to see the scam in operation.

 

Well the way the bank put it to my mom was even though they didn't lose any money they were suing her because she put the bank at risk, those were their exact words...Bank of America.

 

Bank Of American = Ricers

 

they only talk about the millions to get your account number. They'll do a withdrawl, you'll go into the negative and they will have your money. You will end up with that on your credit if you don't pay. Banks are stupid!

 

take NO money orders--unless theyre from me--pay for no shipping--thats their job--take NO cashiers checks--..........geez--folks are getting so weird and greedy--ya cannot even sell a car anymore--or anything-----i just stopped getting scammers who sais they wanted to buy my car--but the weird roadwork they want the seller to do----NO-------sheez,man--why cant they do their own legwork???

 

Haha I listed rims for a half ton Chevy on the recycler and i got an email that sounded exactly like bleach's I told the guy that i would send them only once the money order clears, and that I would place a hold on that money until the money is recieved..... Lets see if he emails me back...

 

I just wanted to see him try to carry an L28 home!
