Here is an example of a scam. They seem to want to send you more money than the transaction calls for, then want you to wire money to a thirds party the same day you recieve funds. LAter you will find our you have been screwed like a house cat.
=============================
Q: hello A client of mine is intrested in this item .she told me she would like to pay you thruogh a certified check,she added that she will be arranging for the pick up of the item herself,she forther explained that some extra funds will be added on the check which is meant for the shipping company.so when you cash the check, you are reqire to wire the excess funds to the shipping company so that they can come for the pick up of the item as soon as payment is received by them. but she instructed me to ask you some questions. 1)can she put her trust on you on the check 2)will you be able to cash the check and wire the rest of the money to the shipper the same day after you have deducted your money for the item plus westen union charges and make the item available for the shiper to pick up. So if you are saitsfied with the above,pls get back to me the price of the item,your phone number,the full name and address i which the check will be mailed to.THANKS IN ADVANCE
