I posted a piece of equipment for sale and I received two emails with really bad grammer. He said he was fine with the price and didn't need to see the equipment. He wanted me to "cashed" his check first and then his delivery person would pick up the item. He wanted to send me a check for more than my asking price and I was to wire the amount in excess to a western union account. Only I had to really read between the lines to figure this out. He did not explain this clearly. He never asked for the location of the item. He just asked for my name and address. He had two separate email addresses with the same type of offer and with the same bad grammer. I kept asking for his phone number and I asked when he mailed the check. He wouldn't answer these questions. Finally I got a phone number that was a general number with a computer generated voice.
I just read that someone else had the same type of experience. Apparently he found some fed ex account numbers and the checks that come are fraudulent.
The bad email addresses I received are:
[email protected] and
john. [email protected]
