10 minutes after listing an Easton Press book I have for sale, I get this: Greetings, my name is Mrs Eunice fenn,i reside in canada. i am highly interested in buying your item from you ,it suits what i have being searching for i will like you to give me the FINAL ASKING price and also scan the pics for me for proper verifycation. As for the shipping,i have a liable shipper that takes good care of all my shipping.so about payment i have prepare a CERTIFIED CASHIERS CHECK for you so pls email me back with your contact info..... full name.... address..... zipcode...... state country... phone no... THANKS" Should i be thrilled that my book has sold so fast!?? wow. only 10 minutes. or should i give this person the address of the local FBI office? |
FBI.

EDIT: The shipper thing is the tip off
She/he is obviously a dip****e. |
What! You guys are objecting to someone bargaining the price for a $10 book?
Why shouldn't on-ramp give his full contact info to an unknown individual? Even insurance companies like Progressive ask for social security numbers nowaday (even if their "computers are down" and can't provide a comparative quote). "Security" has joined "liberty" in the hallway to shoot up and be wall-f%cked by a john. |
So within the 10 minutes he was able to go to his bank, get a cashier to draw up a check, presumeably inferring what your name is, and, I assume, the correct $ amount even though he seemed to forget this in the email, then go home again & write & send the email?
Give the postal address of the nearest FBI office & insist he overnights the check otherwise you will sell to someone else. |
i only take cash

paypal is key!
there are some legit people on CL - but not this one.... |
