OT- Does this sound like a Scam? - Page 1

I really appreciate your response to my email. I want you to consider
it sold, pls do withdraw the advert from craisglist to avoid
disturbance,anyways I don't have time to come over to take a look
because of my Business schedule but you don't need to bother yourself
with the shipment,I'll
take care of that by engaging the services of a mover, hence I'll be
sending a check and it will be delivered to you via United Parcel
Service,so I'll need you to provide me with the following information
to facilitate the mailing of the check....

1.Full name on the check.
2.Full Physical address to post the check
3.City, State and Zip Code
4.Home & Cell Phone to contact you.

Note that the payment will be shipped to your address via UPS NEXT DAY
AIR SERVICE and I will like you to know that you will not be
responsible for shipping i will have my mover to come over as soon as
you have cashed the check.Thanks

N.B UPS does not deliver to a P.O box addresses.Regards
 

This is an Old antique National Cash Register I posted on Craigslist...I emailed him back and ask  WHere do you live,,,I need an address and phone number for you..I do not have a bank account to cash a check in so please make arrangements to bring cash to pick up cash register....LOL  have not had a reply yet...???    I cant believe  over  a $200.00 cash register they play games with you....

His name on the email   was   WIlliam Bruce.. Anyone else have such similiar..I know all the dog ones and the other scams but this is a  little 200.00 item on cl..

When I copied the email to draft folder, it showed a bright highlighted message about his email that said

"Williams Bruce"

Rose, rose, rose,

NEVER TAKE A CHECK !!    EVER !!

And never change anything until payment is made.  

Even money order's can be forged.

Cash cash cash !!   or gold maybe...:)

I'm still holding a bad check from ten years ago.

Brent.

A phony con. Phony name, phony game. Run from it.

I have had similar one's like this sent to me.  What kills me is these people have noooo idea who they are emailing.  What if one of us that got one of these emails was a federal agent, or who's husband/wife was in law enforcement; don't these con artists think about that???  Geez one would think if you're gonna be a thief at least be a SMART one and know who you are targeting. LOL 

Never take a check? lol take a check tell him to wait till it clears in your bank, or if the bank is local just go and cash it at the bank location. But defenitely don't send anything till the funds cleared. Good luck.

That name sound's familiar  (William's Bruce),    I'd say come in person and bring cash, but I think everyone agree's it sound's like a scam.

ok i'm pretty bad at detecting scammers  can you guys recommend how i could learn to 'see them coming' plus i have kids and really need to teach them to protect themselves so any books? websites? ...? that help me with my deficit

I picked up on the   gonna mail you a check via ups and you see what I told him....I dont have a bank account...

I dont take checks for my dogs. even....aint got cash    Im not running after someone to get my dog back and find them...Idont care if it is Donald Trump   he wont do business with me with out    CASH

Abhay pmed me and explained how this works...if I get a mo or cashiers check or check  , it will be for more than the  200.00 and then say they made a bad mistake  please send me back the difference...They have quit telling people that they are sending extra until you get it...then they have your address etvc.....probably sent the home  invasion squad while I am not home and steal the cash register and my whole home contents...that is how crooks gain entrance to your life..You supply your personals and they find you and whalllah......who done it?????? no one knows  because they slip into town and out and are gone...dont live here and they work in unknow rental boxes and houses or buildings for unknown ,unknown , low key people desperate to rent to them...and they pay cash and use illegal names....cant believe they would think we all fall for this...I am awaiting the reply   probably wont get one since I told him I  have no bank...They just went under , I will tell him....lol

Crashed   gone and I will barter for a cow, three laying hens and a few guineas to guard my place..He can have the cash register if he delivers those three items in good health and good condition to the Whitehouse Police Department  on Main Street, Whitehouse , Texas   903 839 2828    alll in usa can have the place and number...no skin off my nose...they know how to get in touch with me and when the  milk cow, the hens and the guineas are in cell block # 9  , I will go get them and deliver the National antique cash register , in tact and good condition....fair enough?????
