SCAM

Posted by Randy Graven on September 12, 2004 at 08:00:00 from (209.152.89.223):

I advertised a tractor and received an overseas response(although other than the wording and sentence structure you'd have a hard tine telling it was overseas). The responder offered to buy the tractor sight unseen and send a cashier's check for more than the amount,which I was to remit the shipping amount to an overseas shipper by Western Union. They even offered $300 for my mileage(40 miles) to the nearest Western Union. I didn't think it was quite right, but was willing to give the benefit of the doubt as long as I got my $2500 which I asked for the tractor.
I received a certified check by registered mail and since it is a weekend I have not taken it to the bank. I have no intention of cashing it. First thing I will tell the bank I think it's a scam and have them turn it over to the FBI. Then I will go to the post office since they used the postal system and the Post Office has their own inspector system which is if anaything a little better than the FBI at scams. Third, I have already faxed copies of all communications to the Iowa state attorney general's office. And last, I'm in the process of contacting Interpol about it. Have I forgotten anything?
