im sellin a car and i have gotten a few emails like that.. i heard it was a scam some how.. i wouldn't deal with them.. why would they send you more money then you are asking then they want you to send the rest back? that just sounds to fishy for me!!!

Scam

[kjewer1]

Any time you dont feel comfortable with the deal, dont do it! Scam or not, why take the risk. Something is "odd," not worth taking the chance IMO.

[soyee7]

yeah, your right.

[Shpyder]

the rule of thumb is, if it sounds too good to be true, it most probably IS too good to be true.

yes please listen to the guys on the forum, dont make the 2grand mistake I made

[1stGenRocks]

yes its a scam heres how it works

1 they send you a check fro 2g over what you're asking
2 you deposit the check
3 you send them the rest of the money back
4 they cash your check
5 the bank calls you and says the check you deposited bounced and you owe them all the money you spent of it

[NOFX0617]

that happened to my dad when he was trying to sell his car. the guy said he was from like Virginia and after my dad looked at the check real close it was from Florida or something like that. My dad took it down to the bank and asked them and they told him it was fake. good thing he caught it. and yeah if your not comfortable dont do it.
