I have a JD straw chopper that will fit late JD 7700s or early JD 7720s. Just the straw chopper and door is what I am selling. This woman texts me asking if it was still for sale???? I had just listed it the night before. She wanted and email back which I sent her. I received this email back.
"Thanks for your response, I'm ok with the price and the description
stated so I would like to send payment asap. Please let me know if a
certified cashiers check is ok. After my check clears my Mover will
come and pick it up at your location. I would have come and taken a
look of it but I can't. (on a business trip ). If you can get back to
me with your info. I'll mail the check out asap. Need your FULL NAME
to write on the check and FULL ADDRESS,Your Cell Number and your FINAL
asking price.... to mail the check out asap. Thanks
NAME XXXXXXXXXX. (I took her name out. It is American sounding.)
Sent from my U.S. Cellular� Smartphone"""
So I sent her and email with my final price, and mailing address. She did not reply for a few days. I got this email today.
"Hello,
Sorry to not get back you sooner i have lost my granddad today,
though he is sick before i went for my business trip but it's ok.i am
the oldest person among the others,so therefore im responsible for all
the burial arrangement lol, i got your information, please i want you
to remove the item from sales list because I'm going to mail the check
out Soon and i will get back to you with the tracking # asap so that
you will know when to expect it. And am also going to include the
mover funds that will come down for pick up along with your payment.
So when you receive the check get your item fee and the rest goes to
the mover? so the pickup can take place. Let me read from you if am to
proceed with you or not,please respond asap.Thanks"
This is what she sent me. Now I am worried that this is some type of scam. She is sending me a check that I can wait until it clears before they pick the item up. The concern is about the funds for a "mover" ???? That is not how you would normally talk about some one that is picking up an item. Also in this email the wording does not sound right for an American.
I think I will send her another email requesting she call me to finalize any deal. If she is sending this from a US cellular phone she can call as easy as text. The whole thing is sounding fishy to me.
