does this sound like a scam to anyone else ???

[thump]

well i have a minmag for sale.a person has been in contact with me and says he has a client wating to buy it.we agree on a price $325...ect....
now heres where i think it gets fishy,tell me what you think...
after agreeing on a price he saiy that he wants me to send all my shipping info.name,address,,,ect to him and that his client will send me a check for $3500,,i deduct my fee for the minimag then ship the minimag and rest of the money back to the States.
to me something seems wromg here,,,,why would someone need to send a $3500 check to buy a $325 item..also why not just buy it himself instead of haveing a broker do it for him?

yeah sounds fisshy but could also be a typo and he added an extra 0 on accident.

I would bet he is saying that he has the marker for sale for 350 and just trying to make 25 off of it to this other person and is only trying to sound important by saying client making it easier to believe so he can make his 25.

Its a scam, they've been doing this to alot of people. Don't do it.

[Thermus]

Its a confirmed scam. Tell him to **** himself.

There was another thread with basically the same question/situation a few weeks ago. Scam.

Scam

What they do is send you a cashier's check, you end up depositing it & sending them the remaining money. Then a few weeks later your bank calls you after they realize the check is a phony & you're out alot of money. That's the basics of it.

Old scam. It was brought up here recently.

if u wait 21 days after u deposit the check, and the bank dosn't say anything, then ur safe.

[SirTim]

just a typo

Have you ask the guy if he actually means $3500? It's just a typo. I am pretty sure of it.

[WARPED1]

IT'S A SCAM! Ask to use a 3rd party, or ask for his phone number and see hoe "he" ignores you.

WUT IS HIS NAME????????? sombody tried that on me too but i didnt do it, i have his email still if u could tell me his sn it might be the same guy

[Fixion]

It IS a scam. I got one of these guys who offere to buy on of my guns. He sent a fake cashiers check for $5000, it wasn't even a good fake. The watermark and the mirco print was missing (obvious fake).

the email comes with the name Steve Thomas on it and the email address is
[email protected]

[Cryer]

I say, accept the guys offer, then report it to the authorities.

When the check comes in, just turn it over to the police. Let them take care of it.

[ZapTheMad]

I second that.
