Kent,

SCAM is the word of the day. I got a request to buy something of mine to this morning. I have a Wide Front End for a Oliver tractor for sale and this guy contacted me to buy my tractor that I did not have for sale. At least, he could have read the ad correctly. Do not even consider this one. It is funny for these guys are getting a better command of the language but still have a long way to go. Dad says he would like to put his foot so far up this characters hind end that he would feel like a slipper. I have to agree.

I'm not sure I understand what is happening here. Sounds like a legitimate offer. How does it go sour?

SCAM! "cheque" gives it away. "pickup" after payment. SCAM!

Tell him you want cold, hard earned American cash and see if he's still interested. I would say NOT!

I have gotten some too like that and one of the guys were from South Africa. The guy wrote me 3 times and then I thought I would have my co-worker thats originally from South Africa write him in their native language. Needless to say, that guy never wrote back, it probably scared the heck outta him. Scammers.....grrrr!!!

What happens is they pay you for the item with a check that looks good and your bank will probably even take it. It ususally takes days even weeks to determine that the check is bad or forged or what ever. In the mean time they have your tractor and are gone. Also just about everything that comes out of Africa and Central America is bogus especially if it originates via the email. Also be wary of someone who wants to pay top dollar without dickering on the price and want to pay with ANY kind of check. Yes there are a lot of scam's out there. Nothing replaces a meeting eye to eye and cash. Another one is they will want to pay you more than the decided value with a check so they can get money (cash) back "for the drive home".
