Cashiers Check Scam

Gbenzx

Well-known member
Some people from Oregon, James Moreland & Mary Welsom, Buffelo NY answered my ad in Auto Trader website abt our Jeep Cherokee for sale.

They both claimed they had clients in Canada who would send us a Cashiers chk for $10k more than was needed because of some refund policy of a company.

I played this along just to see what was what & lo they sent to us a $17500 Cashiers chk(counterfiet) supposed issue by Chase JP Morgan of Buffalo NY. We're asking $7500 for the Jeep.

Had I deposited this into our account I could have been forced to pay Chase $17.5K after they had stolen their part from us.

These people couldn't care less abt you vehicle. They are stealing money via the unknowing of people & Banks all over this country.

We're extending our evidence this am to local law enforcement & transmitting all these emails to IC3 fed website.

Folks please, don't let this happen to you. They will be very convinceing abt being legal & sending someone to inspect the vehicle, boat & every other kind of Thing you have for sale.

Just do a google with cashiers check scam & you will be amazed. You'll be led to believe they are in Nigeria, S Africa, Canada & not so. They are trash right here in the U S.

Thanx, Gben
 
gben! Sorry to hear that someone was trying to scam you. It's good that you are sharp enough to NOT fall for it.

But even nicer to see you post again... Have not seen much of you on these boards for awhile.... Was wondering if you were alright.

Don't be a stranger! Welcome back.

Yep had the same thing tryed on me when I went to sell my trailer. The guy sent me a United States Tres. check. Gave it to the cops and FBI called me to have me send all the email that we had did between the both of us. That was about 3-4 months ago.
 
Matt,

Yes ok, just towar the end of the year when you're employed by a Son & trying to help finish the things that no one else wanted todo.

Our 2005 Airboat turned out tobe a 17klb Caterpillar excavator :( , & will be a while to recover.

A1mud,

While you & I know tobe on the lookout for these kind of things many don't know abt the widespread crime on the Inet. Trust is not tobe in many transactions.

Most people believe that a cashiers chk solves all & can be but not when there is a criminal on the other end of it.

Thanx Guys,

Gben
 
Same thing happened to me, the guy even called once from overseas and I still have the fake cashiers check.
 
I had the same thing happen on my trailer. Had the guy send me a check that was a copy of a IRS check, gave it to the cops and FBI called me on it later.
