Yeah dude you still dont have full proof that it is a fake. Take it to the police and find out. Yeah you can get into some trouble if he sent a real cheque and your keeping it and sending no product or shipping info or whatever.

you know what... i posted my bike for sale online a few weeks ago... and I got an email much like this from some quacko trying to buy my bike. I was asking roughly 6000 for it, and they wanted to send me like 9000, of which i would get to keep like... I think 7 or 8, and then I was supposed to forward the remainder (like 1 or 2g) to some other account. The whole thing just stank like a scam so I never even bothered to reply to it.

Some of you guys are living a pipe dream if you think this is even remotely legit. This has your typical classic scam written all over it. I would double fucking dog dare his ass to contact Interpol. Ha, what a fucking joke! A scammer threatening YOU with legal action. Talk about irony! This fucker has balls. Quit jerking around and nail this guy.

Read the beginning of this thread... about the information on the cheque. It's a fake. Also, this entire time, he has not once asked about the bike, he is just so determined for me to wire money to his 'shipper'.

I feel bad for you because from the sounds of it, he'd be able to scam you but not gonna work for me. I've even threw in little bits here and there to try and trick him (such as me selling a 750R) etc...

Trust me, it's a fake.

Check this shit out! What a fuckin' ass!

Alright, here's the e.mail that I had just sent to the RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police - the equivalent of the FBI):

Quote:

Hi there,

Ever since I've advertised to sell my motorcycle online, I've been flooded with scammers trying to send me US Cashier's Cheques and Money Orders. I've done some research online and to recognize such scams.

I've decided to have some fun with this one in particular and he ended up sending me an International Money Order. I have the money order and upon close examination, I am very sure that it is a fake.

As a member of a motorcycle forum, I've decided to post my e.mail adventures with this particular scammer online. Please view the following link, as it goes into detail on my experience with this guy.

He is quite persistant in trying to get me to wire him money that he is threatening to get the FBI after me... yeah right.

If there is anything you can do about this matter, or any suggestions as to what I should do, please let me know.

I'd love to have this guy arrested but I know that is highly unlikely, but any feedback is greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time!

Hope they get back to me soon.... now, what should I tell Mr. Davy here....

EffJottRider · 10-05-2004, 12:16 PM

yeah, being in Canada I'd be real concerned about the FBI
Do they even have jurisdiction in Canadia?
Apparently this guy is a Georgraphy whiz, he must've been studying during Typing class. You make good points about him not catching your goofs and being more concerned about the money.

I'd be curious, his bank should show whether you've cashed his check or not...ask him why he's having such a fit when he still has his money and can stop payment on it.

Then tell him you have a Gold Plated NSR500 that you're willing to let go for 3 grand...see if he bites.

Captal · 10-05-2004, 12:33 PM

Can't you tell him that you can't cash the MO because your bank won't let you until they authorize that it is a legit international MO and since you don't have any money you can't wire him the money unless he sends you $322?

bb919 · 10-05-2004, 01:46 PM

Tell him you are keeping the profit for the sale because you never had a contract with him, but seeing as you are an honest person, you found someone to ship the bike cheaper. Tell him he should expect it's arrvial in the next couple days.

Ask him how he wants to handle the title transfer too seeing as that hasn't come up yet.

bb919 · 10-05-2004, 01:47 PM

By the way the routing number on the check is valid...

Mr. Lesbian · 10-05-2004, 01:55 PM

So this is what I came up with for now, gonna play on that $322 some more:

Quote:

Hello Mr. Davy

I can't send back the money because I spent most of it already. I'm paying for boob implants for this girl I just met, she said that she really likes me if I buy them for her. You have to see!

I do have some money left that I can wire to the shipper but I still need that $322 for the processing fee. Please send me that in cash so that I can pay the fee and send you my '00 9R. The lady at Western Union says that because of all this trouble, your shipper will be reimbursed that $322 in the final transfer. They just need it as a guarantee, whatever that means. I don't want any trouble with the FBI and want everyone to be happy.

So please send that money ASAP!

Waiting to hear back.

Thai.

What do you mean? I'm on that site... where do I go from there?

bb919 · 10-05-2004, 02:34 PM

Click on the search Fedwire Participants and put in the routing number 0919100533. It just validates that it is tied to that bank. You should be able to contact them and ask about the account. I just tried the wells fargo site and can't find that location though

The compnay exists yes, but the cheque is still fake. Read the first post about the cheque security features... I'm in Canada, anyone from Minnisota be able to call this bank and ask about the cheque for me?
