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 !!!!

Three to five weeks after you have cashed the check and shipped the radio,
your bank informs you that the check was return as no good. You are out the
radio plus its shipping cost, the money you returned to the buyer. Plus, you
now owe your bank the full amount of the of the returned check alone with
any charges incured by them.
