So I have a 90 ton ironworker on Craiglist. Hello spamers. One of two crooks trying to screw me actually FedEx me a check. Only problem being 1) the check was written for $3,350.20 more than the asking amount, 2) the machine hasn't been seen by them, 3). the payee of the Fedex shipping is out of California, mailed out of Orlando Fl and not requiring a signature, 4) the name on the cashier's check is Danley's Garage in Elk Grove Village IL, ( me being in tampa fl.) 5) the bank on the cashiers check is drawn on has some letters missing along with only the top half of the word "BANK" printed. Signature Bank is not spelled Signatu Bank - did you notice the missing "re" on Signature
. Can you smell BOGUS from where you are sitting? So when this spammer contacts me I will tell them I haven't seen their package (they didn't require my autograph
even though the driver handed me the package, yet wrote down he left it on my porch.) I'll tell the spammer porch pirates must have taken it, please sent me another one. Just so they can spend another $10 or 20 on shipping. I do wonder if they use FedEx instead of USPS because then they didn't "mail" it meaning one less charge should they ever get caught. I don't think you can have mail fraud without "mailing" it with USPS.
As a side note as I was typing this a man called and will come monday to check out this ironworker and it sounds promising.
