Thoughts on this CL reply
I know this is a scam...tell me how it works, oh great AGF nobles, as I am selling a guitar and received this reply;
"Thanks for responding, I'm ok with the price. I would like to send payment asap. Please let me know if a certified cashiers check is ok.After my check clears my shipper will come and pick it up at your location. I would have loved to come and take a look but I can't. My shipper will though. If you can get back to me with your details I'll get the check out asap." I am certain this is common but I still would like to know how this whole thing would play out. Thanks in advance!! |

Scam. Dude is gonna Send you a fake check that never clears during the hold period. And insist on picking it up before the three day period. Or someone will try and bring you a fake certified check. Ignore it.

I never understand why no-one has simply replied with "Don't send a check, organize your shipper to bring cash."

Because that would end the conversation.

I think what happens is that they send you a bogus "certified check" for more than you're asking price and ask that you send them back the difference. At least I think I read that at some point.

Tell him to go ahead and send the check. Ignore all other contact from him.
Then just go about your business, and sell the guitar to a real person with real money.

Back in the old days of the 5:00 to 8:00 o'clock solicitation phone calls I used to say "Hey I can't talk right now but give me your home phone number and I can call when you are at home and I am at work and talk about it " Usually they would say "oh I can't do that" and I would then say "me either"
