TheLandscaper 0 Posted July 15, 2009 I assume there will be a part 2 where she will say she has this money order for about 2k over the amount that you will charge her and she will ask you to cash the check/money order and send her the part that is left over and never come and pick up the banners. Or she will ask for your bank account info to wire the money to you and when she gets it you will have an empty account!! I had this happen when i was selling live coral from my reef tank. They sent me these money orders that looked real but where not. As a matter of fact they where so real the phone # on the money order was to the real place and I gave them the # that was on the check. They told me it was fake. I was out almost 5k of my corals!! I still have the fake money orders hanging on my wall to remind me of how some people can be! I hope this helps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"Accountant/Clerk wrote the check wrong, etc" If you want to have fun with it, you can respond and drag them along, it can be amusing. 419eater.com << Hilarious scammer baiting Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
