Anybody ever just cash it and hold on to it to see what happens? Don't deposit it get the cash and put it up. I would think that if a few people did that they'de get tired of losing their money.
^^^ serious, if you know it a scam, why not take their money, cash it and do away with it, get the check sent to a PO box so they cant go to your house they just know u own a little box that they cant have any information about..?? or is there collateral somewhere in there so they dont get fucked??
My main question about all that crap is why in the hell someone sane would send a check of thousands $ over the price of the thing they're "buying"...I mean the guy offered me 5000$ for a 300$ wheel!!! It just isn't serious!!

1.)You have to take the money order into a bank to cash it. It's fake, and when the banks figures that out you will have to give the money back.
2.)If you trying figuring out a way to cash the money order without getting caught that is called FRAUD and I think it's a felony.

Actually it's about the money, it is counterfeiting checks, there is NO MONEY to back the checks.
If it was about money laundring, the checks would be real and you would take your sum and send the rest back therefore "cleaning the money with the check record.
This scan is based on fake checks and money orders, and when you cash them and send the extra back you have just made the person whatever money you sent them out of nothing.
$5000 (fake check) - $500 (your sale price) = $4500 (free money for the person doing the check)
Plus you get stuck paying back the money that the guy stole.
Yeah, I see the point...but I never thought about going any further with that guy... When it's too nice to be real...it's too nice to be real...No one will ever call you to send you money for nothing. Well be carefull!!! Money is tempting but again...when it's too nice to be real, it's too nice to be real!!!
I had the same thing happen, the guy kept saying that he sent a check from england and that i had recieved it after i told him that i would not do business this way, then he threatened to get the FBI involved if i didnt send him his money, what a dumbass
yeah same thing happened to me too - i was selling my truck for 25,000 and he sent check for 33 k and asked me to forward to the shipper-- but if you cash the whole amount you have to pay taxes on the whole thing- thats what keyed me into the sam- they arent interested in the truck when a dumass just send some one money for nothing- i was smart - the guy actually left a phone # when he had an i dea that he suckered me in-- i did a reverse look up on the two mailing addy's and both came up fake. the check the bank was almost fooled - it was some check #'s that a bank quit using ( bank of america) if it too good to be true then it probably is- money in hand is better than two in the bush lol-- i personally think the money generated from these frauds goes towards terrosits groups cause i called the guy to tell him i was sending the money and then i turned him into the fbi-- lotta good that does there is so many of them out there - waste of you time
Well yes it is a scam...me and my boy derek got this same one about 2 months ago...We both got counterfeit Postal money orders.I thought it was kinda shady so I took them to the post office and i was right...derek on the other hand put them in his bank account...Im not sure how or if it fucked up his account but I know he had to go down to the bank to take care of everything
The post master told me that if you put them in your account your bank wont realize they are counterfeit til you've spent the money.
We both got this scam from SSM Classifieds.
I would say away from this....
Tell him you want cash and cash only.
