The scammers are everywhere! One trick they pull is to answer an ad for something you want to sell, with a letter, purporting to be from somebody in another country, who will send you a check for the item. the check will be for more money than the price of the item. What they want you to do is cash the check, take the price of the item and shipping charges out of the money, then ship the item, and send back any money that is left! Sound Good? HAH! By the time you send the item and the remainder of the cash, your bank finds out that the check is no good, and they come to you for payment! All of it! And you are left holding the bag, while the crook is setting at his place, with a free item! And free money, too! And, laughing all the way to his bank, with a good check! And, he's probably stopped payment on the check he gave you! A woman got taken to the cleaners just the other day, hereabouts! Was in the local paper! Same deal! She lost $2700, had to pay the bank. But sometimes the bank employee makes a mistake, and o.k.'s the check, you say? You may think you don't have to pay it back! HAH! OH, YES, You do! Recently a sucker lost a choice antique car with the same scam! And had to pay back to his bank! So, If it looks too good to be true, it probably is!!! Rusty Jones
