The SCAM is well known and documented many places if you do a bit of
searching.

The "cashier's check" whether third party or not is a forgery albeit a very
good one.

It's deposited by you and you believe after a reasonable time that all is well
since your bank accepted it and it hasn't been returned so you send the $$$
difference and the rig.

A few weeks later after going through the steps of the financial system it
appears back at your bank as no good and your account is debited for the full
amount.

You are left WITHOUT YOUR RIG and WITHOUT THE $$$ YOU SENT as "change" for the
forged check which was for more than the original amount.

Very strange. I, too, had a gentleman from England offer me a third
party cashier's check for $5000 for a $1500 rig I was trying to sell and
he wanted me to send the difference to him along with the rig. I even
answered him with "no deal".
Boy, was I stupid to even answer him like a gentleman.


Hmmmm...... I musy be getting thick in my old age. If you wait until the
cheque shows up, have the cash in your hot little hand, then the radio
gets sent out, where's the scam ??? Now if you were to ship first and wait
for the cheque........... more fool you !!!!
