	Thanks for the prompt response and i will love to make an instant purchase i will be posting a certified check or money order to cover the cost of the item while you hold on my behalf. Once you have this,my mover will come pickup at you place.I will be needing the following information to issue out the payment . . . 1.Name to be on the check 2.Home address 3.Telephone 4.Your state,city and zip code ** Pls note that the payment for the item will be send to your address asap. I have taken a close look at the advert and am completely satisfied i really need this and will appreciates that you help save this for me till the payment arrives as it will save me some extra cost*** -- LOVE IS REAL So Guys, What the hell is this prick trying to do? Does he just want solicit something by having my address and whatnot or something worse. God, I'm so sick of lazy losers trying to take the easy road. Someone give me some advice or insight on what this person may have been trying to do. I communicated with him twice, both times he used different emails. I responded by telling him to get F-ed and go try to scam someone else. Thanks All!

	Scam. I once tried to sell a tractor doing the same. What they wanted me to do was he was going to give me a cashiers check for more then the amount of what i wanted for the tractor, then i would forward the rest to his moving company who would pick up the tractor. Check bounces, and i get screwed outta whatever i would have sent to the moving company. 2000 Polaris 600 XCSP with VES, completely stock, for now... 1993 Polaris Indy Storm clutched, 800 jugs, DG can, Vforce 3 reeds 1991 Polaris Indy Classic Xtra 12 suspension Rating: 0 Quick Edit Full Edit

	besides the fact his "mover" will be there, I don't see any compromising information being submitted. Use a fake address and see what happens. I'm sure it is a scam but they are using that to get you hooked and then will start asking for account numbers and such... If he does send you a check make sure you DO NOT cash it and DO NOT give up any property. It looks like a canned email to me. Rating: 0 Quick Edit Full Edit

	I got a few of those when I was selling a mustang superchager on cragslist. I even had a few scumbags with balls call me, and try to hustle me. Saying they're overseas in the war, they can send the money into my bank, all they need is my bank numbers. I would ask them basic questions, just to play with them. What bank they have, where they're from, you should of heard them stumble on their words. I'd tell them send the money to someone they know, and have them pick it up with cash. I still get some b.s scam letters with the other parts i'm selling. Rating: 0 Quick Edit Full Edit

	Quote originally posted by polarisrxlrider I dunno if Id even do a money order any more. I prefer cash and paypal, if it were for all the stupid fees. M/O's are ok if you have a branch of the same issuing bank in your town you can go there with the buyer and cash it. Postal money orders are good too as everyone has a post office nearby. For sleds I always do cash....for parts, if they're doing a M/O, I love postal ones as I'm there to ship anyways and can cash it on the spot to pay for the shipping. Just don't cash from some bank you've never heard of. I've had my bank call the issuing bank and verify this check number was made out for this amount. It still wouldn't stop them from doing a stop payment however. That's why I like cashing at the issuing bank. My Youtube Videos Rating: 0 Quick Edit Full Edit
