gotta love scammers!
#1
Well here I am on craigslist selling some corvette rims and I get a small inquiry, asking for high res pics. I go ahead and send them.

Then I get this response in the mail.
Quote:Hello,thank you for the prompt response to my mail enquiry am quite satisfied with the condition of the item and price.Am very much interested in buying the item from you and i would like to make an outright purchase immediately so i will advice that you withdraw the advert from the web.I will be paying with a check due to the distance.Furthermore my mover will be coming over for the pick up am as i might not be available for the pick up myself i would have love to come and look it up but presently am not chance to do that but am OK with the information from the ad.I will need the following information details to make payment arrangement 1,Your full name to be on the Payment.2,Your postal address. 3,Your phone number both land and mobile. 4,Your postal code.
Get me the following information as soon as possible.
Regards.

Thats a scam if I ever did see one. Idiots, you don't even qualify as a "scam artist", nothing artsy about you.

Watchout Kiddies, there be igits about.

I'm sorry for the honest people out there, but I will NEVER take a personal check for anything. If its a small amount then you can do it cash, larger? I want a cashiers check, and even then I'll hold item until the check clears the bank.

Paypal is one of the few times I'll ship, as payment with paypal is pretty much payment. Though there are scams out there.

I'll take personal checks, but will not ship until my bank clears the check, which takes about 2 weeks.

My cousin was selling his Katana and got hit with a bad $4000 cashiers check! Still don't know how they did it but the bike was gone!
IT'S ALL ABOUT THE PAIN; THE INK AND THE JEWELRY ARE JUST SOUVENIERS
