SCAMMER

Hi everyone.
I recently had some items to sell in this classified. I received an email inquiry today from "Bob Mike". I told him all were sold except one. The price was on the items and in a response he asked me again (no bargaining). He emailed me back and said the price was OK and also the following:

>>Thanks for the response, your price is okay with me, a mover will inspect from you and pickup after payment, will instruct my financial advisory to mail you a check for full payment asap. A pickup date will be scheduled after you have been fully paid.
Let me know if this work with you so we can proceed.<<

His email is bobbyjusting@gmail.com.

The process seemed weird to me so I googled his name and found several reports of him being a scammer. BEWARE!

The way this works is he gives a check that is for too big an amount. You write one for the difference. His check bounces.

Are our Forums open to the public?

Yes, Ginger, that is how it works. We’ve had people try to do it with our b &b so we are familiar with it.
