My boss just ran into a scam like this. His son had a 2001 Harley Sportster for sale for 4700 bucks in the "Trader" newspaper. Well he sold it(so he thought) and the guy sent him a cashiers check for $10,700...
He told him $3000 of the extra was for shipping and the other extra $3000 was for the guy he hired to get the bike from my boss and crate/ship it to SPAIN. LMFAO!! WHO in their right mind would spend $10,700 bucks on a $4700 bike? :lol:
As I'm sure you have guessed he was supposed to deposite the check and then pay the 6 grand to the guy who picked up the bike. Well the cashiers check was verified as a fake by the Bank(big surprise,huh) He took all emails and the check to the Police but I am sure nothing will happen...Where do these turds come from? :roll:
