This same guy also posted a Kingtech turbine 210 for sale using my username. I have since changed my password and seems he is still trying to scam using other methods. The number used was a google number and could not be traced. Lots of scammers out there. Too bad cause I used to sell and buy alot here but have since reverted to pickup only for my items for sale. Got screwed too many times.

I had a gut try to buy my jet with a cashiers check going buy the name albbazzz sent me the check it was for 2000 more than I wanted for the jet. The day the check arrived he wanted me to send 2000 to his shipper right away. I called the bank the check was from before I deposited it in my bank and sure enough the check was no good.
That check looked as real as it gets I sent check to the bank it came from with all the info I had on this guy I sure hope they got him. If I would not of called the bank I would of got scammed

We seen that sort of scam all the time. If someone sends you a check for more than the sale amount it's always gonna be a scam. Usually the bad guy is outside our country so there's nothing law enforcement can do about it. It's really hard to get a foreign govenment to care about you losing money to someone in their country who will likely spend it over there, therefore bolstering their own economy.
