Re: [FWDLK] Car Buying Scams!

["Bill K." <pontiac@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

As someone else stated, have the bank check it out.

One of the most common car buying scams is to send a cashier's check for
more than the amount of the car and have you send them the difference, or
pay it to a "shipping agent" which is usually a dummy address they provide.

They may not even come get your car, but you end up responsible to return
all of the funds to the bank regardless.

> There was a 4 door Savoy I was selling a while back, several people
enquiered about it but it was spoken for.  I got ahold of a 58 Plymouth
Suburban and started it offering it up for sale.  There was 2 potential
buyers that would write to me back to back and they happened to use the same
style of writting.  1 of them has sent me a check over my asking price and I
was wondering if I should be weary?  Anyone have any advice?
