Recently I posted a 263 gas engine for sale at YT I got a couple of emails from this guy regarding condition and price. Today asked if I would take a cashiers check. I said OK. His last email said a guy would send me a cashiers check, me cash it keep the 5oo.oo for the engine and an extra 100.00 for my trouble then send the balance to his agent in United Kingdom My first time at selling on YT. What do you guys think?

How many times in your life has someone ever given you extra money just for the heck of it. If it looks like a duck and quacks like one too, then that's what it is. Common sense , there isn't really a "tractor part fairy" out there.

Don't you guys get it. If they want you to send the differance by Western Union, have the payment sent to you by Western Union. Both play by the same rules and no exceptions. If Western Union wont except their check why should you. I'm sure that it will make the scamers know the rules have changed.

Send him the address and phone no. of the FBI. after tipping them off. One guy here replied that he took the check to the sheriff and told the scammer he did. He began receiving threatening emails that included his home address. Kinda hairraising huh?

Here's a copy of the scam I keep getting after posting at old IHC site.


Date: Thu, 11 Mar 2004 00:08:11 -0800 (PST) From: "ken hope" Add to Address Book Subject: PAYMENT INFO NEEDED..... .....PLEASE GET BACK TO ME

Hi, Thanks for you mail .I have spoken to my customer as regards the payment of the .(549 IHC engine) and he has instructed me to inform you that payment will get to you in a check of $5,000.00 which is a refund payment of a cancelled order earlier made by myclient. Due to the company policy this check has to be made out in this amount to you ,because company policy only allows a refund payment on one cashier check,so you are required to deduct the cost of the .(549 IHC engine ) $1,000.00 when payment gets to you and refund the balance of $4,000.00 to my customer agent via western union money transfer for him to be able to upset shipping charges down here and from there.After payment has reached you and balance sent back to his agent, our agent will come pick up title and drive to a prepaid shipper to be shipped to my customer, while title papers and other necessary documets will be given to the shipper. Confirm this and provide Name..... . HOUSE Address NOT P.O BOX ..... . PHONE NUMBER..... .. for check payment to be delivered to you ASAP. Thank YOU and have a great day..

Get such an offer weekly. I've been replying; send the check,when I cash it at a not-my -bank bank, then I'll release the tractor from the warehouse. Haven't gotten any checks yet!

This is an old scam that's been around in several variations. They send you what appears to be a valid check. You put it thru your bank and send them off the "extra". Later you find out that it is drawn on a non-existant bank or it's a forgery. Meanwhile you are out your item and the cash you sent them, and what you thought you were keeping for yourself is gone because the check is no good. They not only get your product, but you pay them to take it!

Oldest one in the book buddy. Like the other guys said, only I have a little different swist to it. If it looks like a skunk, and it smells like a skunk, you don't have to walk around to the back end and take the chance on getting hosed just to satisfy yourself that it was a skunk. Tell him if he is serious, be standing at your front doorstep on such and such a day (of course not telling him where you live) with the green and you'll talk all he wants. Guarantee you'll never hear from that particular one again. My .02 worth, harley1983
