I did some research on this type of scam. The scam is that the MO looks very real but is fake. If I deposit in my account I'm up creek for having a fake MO. It usually takes the bank a few days to catch it. Yes is was for a toy transaction. At 1st it sounded ok, sounded like he was local. Stated he was sending the payment via mail 1st flag. 2nd he said due the delay, he would send as extra 20 and I could make arrangements with his assistant for item pick up. The MO is for $1700. Claims his "assistant" made an error, for me to cash it and send the rest back via Western Union. The catch is that it goes to another person somewhere else. Funny thing he never really mentions the toys, just refers to them as items I asked was he a collector or a seller, no response. Anyway, this dude is out there. Obviously it worked before, since he's still doing it. The name is John Bishop Beaverton, Oregon yet wanted me to wire money to Stephanie Hall in Vancouver, WA. MO was in a local business name and made on BB and T account.
This had been an interesting ride.
