[Chevelle-list] First time selling on chevelle forum and a scam?

[Brad Waller]

Sorry but this is false.  The scam often involves forged cashiers checks.  I
know of cases where the bank verified the check, the money cleared, and then
weeks later the bank found out it was a forgery.  They then took back all
the money from the person's account.  They were out the item and had
problems when their account ran dry and checks started bouncing.
 
Never wire money Western Union!
 
I have not heard of problems with Postal money orders.
 
If you are suspicious, run.  If you want to make the sale, use Escrow and
let them take the risk.
 
You might want to check with the forum admin to trace the IP address of this
guy to see if he is where he says he is.  You can ask for his phone number -
and call it. Scammers usually disappear if you ask or provide a false
number.

Just make sure you wait for their check to clear, it doesn't matter if it is
a cashiers check or not. Still takes three days to clear If the routing
numbers are legit, then your bank will notify you.. A US postal order is
better. Then you can go to the post office and see if it is legitimate or
not when they run the numbers.
