With *anybody* I'd recommend using either the Ebay escrow service that YOU go to from the Ebay site, not one they send you that *looks* like an Ebay site... it usually isn't. Or, use an escrow service your banker recommends. The world is full of scammers and they all have a "reliable, professional" escrow service for you to use. -= Gunner =- -= Jacksonville FL =- -= www.tail-gunner.net =- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED]Sent: Friday, April 23, 2004 11:30 AMTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]Subject: [Chevelle-list] Re: Is this a scam I have my 72 Chevelle listed through here, it is in Idaho for $3250 and well worth the money.

RE: [Chevelle-list] Re: Is this a scam
It's pretty simple. The deal is that they send you a check for more money than they owe you, and ask you to forward the balance to somebody else. Since their check is international, it takes you a while to find out that it has not cleared. In the meantime, they hope that you have written a valid check to the third party. A guy I know tried to scam the scammer by telling him that he cashed the check and put the money in a suitcase in his trunk, and then the car got towed by the city. He then asked the guy for a money order to cover the cost of getting his car out of the impound yard (claiming he was totally broke and couldn’t afford to get it out otherwise), and said that he would pay the guy back when he got the cash back. Of course the cash never existed, but he was trying to scam the scammer. They went back and forth with a bunch of emails, and the guy managed to get the scammer's phone number. It eventually got ugly, with the scammer threatening to send somebody to the other guy's house to collect the money "or else". At that point the guy sent all of the info to the FBI, and also sent a message to the scammer saying he could call a certain phone number (the FBI) to get the matter settled. It’s not worth messing with these guys. Just ignore them. Any time somebody says that you have to pay money to get money, it is a scam.
