Hi guys, I am selling a Merlin-160 in the ads section. Then I receive this message through my personal email. It looks that others send to few of you guys. The user name does not appear in the members list. What you think?


Greeting,
I saw your advert and i'm interested in buying your Merlin-160 for $3200.00.And I'll be paying you through my Associate that is indebted to me in your country?If you are okay by this i will like you to forward me with your full information for the payment such as your full name that will be printed on the cheque, your full address where the check will be send to and also your full phone # ok,Dont worry about the shipment i have a reliable shipping company that will take care of the pick -up for me,anywhere in the world and my mode of payment is through Cashier's Checks or Money Order ,He said he will be inflating the amount on the check to $7000 whereby you will deduct your own cost and help me to transfer the remaining $3800 to the shipper for the payment of their services. you will deduct your own cost and help me to transfer the remaining balance through WESTERN UNION MONEY TRANSFER so that they can come for the pick up ontime (i.e the Residue fund) to my shipper who will take care of the pick up. Let me know as soon as possible, so that I can get in touch with my client.

like my daddy always said u dont get something for nothing or he could be an arab sheke they do that kinda stuff its habit lol

This IS a very common scam. What happens is you cash his cheque OK, it is payable from a foreign source. Then in a few weeks the bank gets back to you and deducts the funds from your account as the cheque was a forgery. By then you have shipped the 'product' AND given the 'refund'.[:'(]

Best to ignore it.
