Audiogon sellers, please stop and read this thread

I had a couple listings last week and I received one e-mail from a potential buyer to instruct me to contact him via his private e-mail right away.

I was offered to be paid by Cashier Check rather than Paypal.
I accepted the term that the buyer would have his "agent" to pick up the units for sale. In term, I told the buyer I would only accept the Cashier Check from major banks.

Yesterday, I received an e-mail from the buyer instructing me to deposit the Cashier Check one I receive it BUT since the Cashier Check was made by his "financier" for more than the sale price, the buyer wanted me to cash out the difference and send a Moneygram to his "agent" so his" agent" can pick up the merchandise and the buyer thanked me for my " corporation".

I demand to know if the Cashier Check was made from major banks or not and how much is the difference between the sale price and the amount of the Cashier Check. I have not heard a response from him since then.

What's up? Was I born yesterday or is it a case of innocence
'till proven guilty?

Elizabeth, good idea. Got the check today and has been pressured from unknown, no trace buyer instructed me to deposit the check.

Now,I have the upper hand since I can use the check to trace to an Auctioneer Co, in Canon,Oh drew from the Huntington Natl'Bank. The sender is a third party( not the buyer) is in Baltimore,MD.

BTW, the buyer insisted that I have to go thru with the deal since the check is good. Maybe it's good to him but does not look like an CC to me.

ROTFLMAO !

Only-one-ell, that was exactly the same language and the style that of the e-mail that I have received.

With the same scheme to ask me to deposit in my bank and Moneygram the excess funds.

This is the information from the sender not the buyer that they used :

Ashley M.Murray
5 randy ct.
Baltimore,MD 21220

The check is drawn from Huntington natl'bank in Canton, Ohio 44718.

The payee is: Russ Kiko Assc. Inc., 2805 Fulton dr. NW, Canton Ohio 44718.

Your "James" guy is my Patrick scammer. LOL!
