« on: September 07, 2009 - 08:50:08 PM »
Ok i had some parts for sale on kijji  ,i get a email , the guy tell me he whant my parts i said yep send me money order  ,so i get was asking 900.00$ for the parts .he said yep that good so i get 3 money order fro 925.00 each  from the guy . He send me a email  tell me to keep 900.00 for my part and send a weston union money order to a other guy that will pick up the parts ,So i go to the banks to cash in the money order but they look fun the guy never fild in any thing on them no date no name  just my name that all .So i ask the bank teller are this any good she had to look at them like 4 time and still was not shure she had to go get an other girl and yep they were no good ,
Man am happy the guy never came an pick up the before , but i had told him i have to have the money in the bank before the parts good out .
I send him back a email never got any thing back from him maybe because i told him i was going to the cops whit that LOL.

I've never heard of that before. Good thing you didn't get it shipped.

You should purse that one....so many people are getting robbed..I am sure that there is a division at the police  where you live that can track that email...you even have the guys hand writing...call the cops.... :stomp: :villagers: :swear:...get those guys....Matt

 :iagree: You should definitely take the cashiers checks down to you police dept and turn them in.  I would imagine there is some division in the FBI or something that gets all these things to look over.

I wouldn't involve the authorities these days...    They would probably hand you a W2 and ask how many checks you have cashed.
