beau Posted October 10, 2007 Posted October 10, 2007 Yeah it's probably a scam. My account at atvtraderonline just got hacked today and changed my phone number email and price on the rhino i'm selling. Luckily they didn't get my credit card number or anything. Quote
EY3BA11 Posted October 10, 2007 Posted October 10, 2007 Thats a international phone number google country code 234.. its nigeria... homie its a scam dont even bother responding anymore Quote
OGP Posted October 10, 2007 Posted October 10, 2007 what they do, He will send you a check for more than the amount you are asking. The check will clear your bank. You will send him the amount back over your asking price. Then uh oh. Your bank will find that the check has been canceled on his end. ou will now be resposible for the money your bank paid to you. This scam has been going on for a long time. I have a check here for 3500 dollars. I was selling some wheels for 1200 and the guy thought I would actually go through with the transaction. I just kept the check for the hell of it.. Luckily my radar was correct that something was fishy. Id been out 3500 dollars plus a set of 20 inch wheels and tires Quote
dune_rat Posted October 10, 2007 Posted October 10, 2007 Its a pretty common scam. They send u a check for more than the amount and want u to refund the difference. By the time your bank finds out the check was bogus you've already sent them some good $$$ :beer_bang: The president of Nigeria is a personal friend of mine>>>he emails me all the time wanting financial help :beer_bang: Quote
barefoot bob Posted October 10, 2007 Posted October 10, 2007 the guy didnt ask for any pertinent info that could hurt anyone. i made money doing an overlapping sale once but i knew the guy. if he puts up green backs or money order verified from a national bank cool. no checks perioud theres to many counterfiet checks going around.

VAZEE*BROS*MOTORSPORTS Posted October 10, 2007 Posted October 10, 2007 If you cash that check, your bank will hold you responcible. SCAM!!!! Quote
