Posted on another site. I can't believe that some people actually believe these e-mails might lead to a sale. :roll:

Quote:
I was recently contacted via email from someone with an email address of devisemights@yahoo.com who expressed interest in buying a boat I have listed on this site. After numerous emails we agreed upon a price and then he said that he would be sending me a bank check that was $5000 more than the agreed upon price and would I please send him the difference. When I said that this would not be acceptable and to bring cash for the boat it ended our deal.
BEWARE of this.....they send bogus but very real looking bank checks and you send your very real personal check and they're off!


After "numerous" e-mails........ :shock: It would have gotten deleted by me seconds after I recieved it. I wonder how this guy knows they send "real looking bank checks" ????

I actually played along with one to the point that they send me their check, via next day UPS. I then strung them along for another week .... they di dthe whole .... "you're cheating me, etc. etc." thing. I even called the police in the town where it was sent from, the bank that it was ripped off from and the company that it was supposedly drawn from .... nobody cared.
