SCAM ALERT / FRAUD ALERT Please read
Best of luck and be safe. I am pasting below the "great offer" from this jerk that claims to be called Felics from Canada ////////////////////////////// HELLO PAUL, IT IS QUITE INTERESTING THAT MY CLIENT HAS ACCEPTED MAKING PAYMENT FOR THE BIKE AFTER CONSIDERING THE PRICE. HE WORKS WITH INTER TRUST FINANCIAL IN CANADA BUT HE IS PRESENTLY ON A TWO WEEK VACATION IN SAUDI ARABIA. AS HE EXPLAINED TODAY,HE HAS CASHIER'S CHECK OF USD$16,000 MADE OUT FOR THIS TRANSACTION, THIS IS AS A RESULT OF A LOAN GRANTED TO HIM FOR THE PURCHASE OF A CAR BUT HE LATER RESORTED TO BUYING A BIKE AND THAT IS WHAT LED TO THIS TRANSACTION. SO THE CASHIER'S CHECK IS IN EXCESS OF USD$6,500 SINCE WE HAVE AGREED ON USD$9,500 FOR THE PRICE OF THE BIKE. HE ADVICE ME TO DISCUSS WITH YOU SO THAT HE CAN MAIL THE CASHIER'S CHECK TO YOU FOR THE PAYMENT OF THE BIKE BUT YOU HAVE TO REFUND THE EXCESS TO THE AGENT THAT WILL COME FOR THE PICK-UP SO THAT HE CAN BE ABLE TO OFFSET SHIPPING CHARGES. THEREFORE,I URGE YOU TO PROV IDE YOUR COMPLETE MAILING INFORMATION WHICH ARE YOUR NAME, HOME ADDRESS AND PHONE NUMBER SO THAT HE CAN MAIL THE CASHIER'S CHECK TO YOU VIA COURIER SERVICE. THANKS AS I WAIT TO RECIEVE YOUR CONSENT ON THIS TRANSACTION SOON. THANKS AND GOD BLESS FELICS........ |

I got about 10 responses like this ...all while trying to sell my mountain bike for $400. I just copied everyone's email and forwarded their address to the approriate authorities. I guess this scam has now trickled down from cars to regular household items.
The other way to handle this is play along. Give them the address and phone number to your local police station.

That's a great idea, I did not think of that one. Police number and address is the only thing they will get from me. Too bad for those of us who are using the web as a r legitimate way to do business. But I guess it must have been newspapers in the past.
Thanks |

I would tell him that I agree with his terms and ask him to meet me; I would ask a couple friends to hide near by; then when we meet I place a fake call to the supposed bank to verify the check, when they supposedly tell me it's fake I have a reason to kick his ass
  I bet he'll learn his lesson...Quote:
