Ima keep it short........

I put parts online.......

I get a email saying please give me your name and addy

I get a certified check for more than double what I was asking

I get a email that wife made a mistake, please cash it and send the parts and the remainder of the money back.

Sounds fishy, whats really going on? never cashed it, and still have my heads

 

C/l Ftl!

 

If its a certified check. You can cash it at like an amscot or something like that. If you cash it at your bank then they might be able to get a copy of the cleared check and it may have your accnt# on it. That way he doesn't have your cc# or checking account so I don't see any harm.

Isn't a certified check like a money order?

Its a scam man. the checks are usually forged, and they get you to cash it, so you take the risk of cashing the bad check. Step away.

Edit: Skipped right past the cert. check part. Just call the bank and ask some questions.

 

if its a cert from a bank..you can call the bank to verify funds

 

I get them all the time. Email them and tell them you are contacting the Shreffs office and you will not hear from them again

 

That would be a scam. Everything is counterfittable. Tell the guy you'll wait for it to clear. Don't cash it at your bank because they'll charge you penalties if it doesn't clear properly. Make sure Scamscott won't charge you if it doesn't clear.

PM me if you have specific questions. I know this type of shit.

 

Yep, verifiy with bank, dont cash it!!!!!!! If someone tells you different, I have a file cabinet with a few names that will tell you otherwise. When you cash it you have committed the crime for passing a forged instrument.

I done one bond for a guy that was sent money orders for a camera he sold on ebay for $2500, he received and tried to cash the money orders AT AMSCOT, and was arrested at Amscot. Was the charges dropped...yes....did he have to bond out till it went to court...yep and that is money lost

 

Can you make 20's and 50's??

 

Sure its done all the time. You bleach out $1 bills and print over them. Though doing $20's and $50's is getting riskier because they check them. But $5's and $10's are still pretty safe to print up. FBI wont even investigate fake $5's.
