I just need help seeing if this is a scam. I'm just going to copy and paste this response I got from somebody that I was talking with about a craigslist add.
Hello, Thanks for the prompt response, I'm glad to hear from you and i will like to know that i found your ads on craigslist and was much more interested,i am buying the (GI JOE ARAH including Tiger Force 1988 Set) for my son for his birthday gift.i am located in Chelsea in MI.Also i will like to let you know that the payment will be a certified check so in view of this i will like you to email me all the necessary information needed to send the cashier check to you. Regarding the shipping ,i have a personal shipper agent that takes good care of my consignments and ship them to there various destination .So my shipping agent will be at your place to do the pick up soon as the payment is received by you. The certified check will be in your name to make it easier for you to cash and as soon as you receive the certified check, i will like you to cash them then deduct the money and send the remaining balance to my shipping agent so he can contact you immediately for the pick up arrangement at your place. So here are the information needed for the payment to be mail out asap. (1) Full Name (2) Mailing address, no p.o.box please (3) your direct telephone number (4) acceptance of my offer Hope to hear from you immediately. NB:I will be paying you additional $50 to reserve the ( GI JOE ARAH including Tiger Force 1988 Set) for me. Thank's, Robert Handlovic I just feel iffy when it comes to things like this. anybody done anything like this? Or know this person? |

should I do it and get the check and turn it over to the FEDs or something?
I'm just wondering if this happens a lot, it does scream scam to me though, do you guys often check craigslist adds from states you don't live in? |

yeah... I don't know about that. I had a friend that got a bogus cashiers check from a guy on craigslist and got into alot of trouble after he cashed it out at the bank. I think I would pass.

Sounds VERY fishy. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't want some guy sending his guy to my house to pick up something. The extra money sounds like this is bogus.

This is definitely a pass. Nobody in the US works like this with certified checks and personal shipping agents. Also, in the US, we write "PS" when we add a note at the end. In Europe and Africa, they write "NB" which is latin "nota bene." It means "note well" as in "pay attention." So, NB: dont' deal with this guy.
