Thanks very much for your response, the reason I am sending you this email is to make final reconfirmation of the boat which goes for $36,300 and it's ok by me,also to let you know that payment will be by certified cashier's check . In view of this I need you to email me any information that may be required to send the payment as I do not want to send the check or money order to a wrong location lest they get into the wrong hands.Regarding the shipping, Ihave a freight company that takes care of the pickup of my consignments for me and ship tomy destination , you should'nt get worried about shipping, the company will send down a representative to arrange the sales documentation and the pick up from your end for onward transfer to my destination. I also want to alert you on the fac! t that you will be receiving an overdraft cashier's check, which will cover the money for the pickup (pickup and shipping to the final destination (hawaii) as well as the money to be paid to the
company that will take care of the pickup and the documentation with you. So please, as soon as you receive the payment, go and cash it immediately, deduct the money that accrues to you, and send the balance to the Head Office of the company that handles the shipment .I will give you the details of the company that will be shipping the boat as soon as we seal this deal.Once the money is received by the agent ,the shipping agent will contact youimmediately to arrange the documentation as well as the pick up immediately.So in view of the above,here are some of the details I will need for final issuance of the cashier's check to you.
(1) Full Name
2) Mailing address, no p.o.box please
(3) your direct telephone number both home and cell.?
Once you get back to me with all the above, the check will be issued out immediately by my business associate and it will be sent to you .
.Looking forward to your swift .

Wolves and scammers everywhere!

The way I understand that scam is that they're not after your boat. They want you to deposit the fake cashiers check & send the extra money for shipping.

Most banks will usually give you access to that money in a few days. After that, you'll see the funds in your account and send that shipping money which usually amounts to several thousand dollars.

A week or so later, the bank will inform you that the cashiers check was a fake and remove the funds that were showing up in your account...you'll be responsible for any lack of funds there may be.

Of course there's no telling how many different variations of this scam are going around these days.

Imagine how successful these people would be if they put that much thought into a legitimate endeavor. I'd rather be poor and free of the worry that one day it's gonna catch up to me. I don't want anything that I haven't earned.

Unless someone's giving away free college tuitions for my kids. I WILL take that! :p
 
Anyone offering to send money sight unseen for a boat is automatically labeled scam in my book....or really stupid! :shock:
 
My Ex-Wife got sucked in by a scam like this and it cost her $3000. Serves her right. (did i say that out loud)

Jeff tell him to keep the money for shipping send you what you are asking and when the check clears you run the boat to Hawaii for him you wanted one last ride any way

Matt can make you a map that way if something goes wrong he will know where to pick up his boat and how deep it will be


:twisted:
 
I always have them Fed-Ex the check and play along until I get the check. It ends up costing them around $10. I always feel so good when I make them pay, even if it is just a few bucks.
 
Good one DW. I got the map done......

Map Click Here :lol:

I agree - let them dive for it if they want it! LOL

Basket - you are too smart for jerks like that. Don't let it bother ya. I once heard that they are overseas making these scams - like some kind of Chinese street gang or Russian mafia or terrorists training camp that try to scam you from a place where the laws are such that it allows them to make that fake check or whatever.

Good for you for not biting on that one.
