Someone wanting to buy my Heads???
 

This was in my messages on RJ classified. Seems alittle wierd or am I just paranoid? My Ad #1550337 has multiple items but he refers to it as just one.

(My name is Tony Bagwell jnr,I have a client who is interested in buying your item,he informed me to ask you if the item is still in good condition and that the payment method will be remitted via a cashiers check or a money order ,the cashiers check that will be sent to you will include the money for the sales of your item and the shippers fees for organizing a home pick up service. If you agree to assist in this capacity kindly send your full name address and your contact phone number and price.to this email address [email protected] Waiting to read from you today, Best Regards.)

I wouldn't respond. It sounds like they want all your info so they can scam you in some way. If you do respond only do it through RJ. I know if I wanted something from you I would call you myself and not have someone else contact you. JMO

I guarantee you that is a scam.

Over seas scam at that, you can tell by the wording, "waiting to read from you"> Hmm, ok.

Dparker DO NOT respond to this in any shape form or fashion, report as spam or delete.

It's your info they want.

Can you say indentity theft?

we get that same message all the time. just different name. SCAM!!

x2

I reported it to RJ. I was curious if anyone else had received anything similiar. Does RJ report back to you on something like this?

Man they're quick. They already responded.

Thanks Racing Junk

I get that crap on Craigs list all the time,total scam :twisted:

In December 2007, I received an e-mail requesting info on an item I had listed somewhere on the internet. I told him I would only accept cash, cashiers/bank check, or money order. He sent (postmarked in UK) four $500 (total $2000) money orders issued from a bank in Minnesota. I looked up the bank, and sure enough, the name, address, phone # were all correct. What caused suspicion was the uneven cuts that were on the edges of the m/o. These babies looked real. I showed them to a bank official, and he had them checked out. Bogus. The bank manager told me that was the best counterfit job she had seen.

Dont do it Report it to RJ and the police
 

I HAVE HAD THAT HAPPEN TO ME TWICE, I had a boat for sale on a local web site and I got several of those exact emails, I played with them and they went as far as sending me a bad check, I took it to the bank and asked them to verify and they siad it was a fraud, I took the check to the police station and they started an investigation. They said they traced it to somewhere in India and they could not proceed. Another guy here at work he had the same thing, I warned him about it but he was money hungry and lost his ass, it was around 10,000 he lost in this scam.
