Here's a slight variation on the theme. A friend of ours placed her motorhome on Craigs for $50,000. She got an email from some person and after some back and forth, she got a bank check for $59,000. with the explaination that the extra $9,000. was for a person that would show up and drive the vehicle back to Michigan from NY. So, please cash the check and send a Western Union moneygram for the $9,000. to this address... so she did, but after waiting over a week for the check to clear. She went to the bank and asked a teller if it the money was available and clear. "yes, it is in your account" So she take the $9K out and wires it. Two days later she gets an urgent call to come into the bank. The check has bounced, and please right now fork over the $9,000 taken out! Now what? She is on the hook for the $9K and thank god she didn't take out more. I figured the teller had some part of this, but the bank says no, the money was there, then it wasn't when the check bounced. Clearly fraud and the local DA won't even look at it. Our friend is sueing the bank but good luck with it as the bank has more protective rules than you can imagine and losing money through fraud isn't one of them.

I'm waiting for them to reach over $10,000 in checks, then the Harris county Texas DA will take serious notice when I call them.

I sell a lot on Craigslist and had an attempted scam yesterday regarding a Specialized BMX bike I'm selling. My ad says it's in rough shape so I didn't think twice when I got an e-mail asking for close up photos of the frame. I take several shots, resize them, and send them off. This morning the response is "Sweet! Just what I'm looking for, but I'm fighting over in Afghanistan right now. Can I pay you via Paypal and then you ship it to my home in TN?"
OK... so you're in a war zone looking at the Phoenix Craigslist for a $60 beat up BMX bike and you're going to pay $100 to have it shipped to TN. Right. What really pissed me off was that I spent 20 minutes of my time taking photos and sending them off to who knows where. Overall, I have to say that I've sold numerous items on Craigslist and am amazed at how quickly most of the stuff sells. Every now and then something just won't sell. Anyone need a giant Care Bear... I'll cut you a great deal!
