RE: Questionable Buyer ????
Yep, This check was sent from England. The bank was in Illinios and now he want's me to send the money Western Union. He has a real good story, smooth talker. He needs to learn better english. I'm not sending a dime even if the check clears it's true, 7 years on these puppy's. Be carefull who you deal with. Most of the modlers are great guys. I have never had any problems but when you get a gut feeling ..... Listen to it.

RE: Questionable Buyer ????
Another dirtbag attempt at scamming.
I received this today.
Thanks for your quick response. I am interested and would be willing to buy it at that price and as i said earlier that I do have an International shipping agent that will come pick the plane up from your house and ship to me.
I will arrange for payment by sending your full name and address to my client in the States who is owing me the amount of $2800 to issue you a cashier's check for this amount. which is a refund for a cancelled order I placed with him, and being a refund the amount can only be written on a single check. I know it is more than the plane's price but after getting the check, I need you to cash it and deduct cost of the plane, then do me a favour of wiring the remaining balance to my International shipper via money gram/western union.
You will also deduct $100 for running around and for wiring the difference. After this is done, he will then pick the plane up from your residence and ship to me.
So, confirm this and send your full name and address including phone # for mailing the check payment to you as soon as possible.
Waiting for your urgent reply,
Kind regards,
skyb

If you have some free time, here is a great thread on taking a scammer for a ride. Got a good laugh out of it.

This is my favorite revenge story. It takes a while to read but it's worth it.

RE: Questionable Buyer ????
The first thing you need to do is turn this over to the FBI. This is a popular money laundering scam. I know I am a financial Services Manager at a car dealership and we have to go to money laundering classes all the time. If you fall for this you could be facing serious Jail time even though you are the victim. The law does not give much slack on this. You will go to JAIL
