Haha, give him the bank account number

Why the heck would you send a check for more than what you want for the car?

 

[minendo]

Yeah. Go ahead and cash that check. See who wins.

How do you know this guy is a scammer?

 

[MangoTBG]

Wow. I didn't know there were actual scams like this. Lol. I'm laughing because a friend of mine tried selling his trumpet on Ebay and he got this guy "from Africa" that was needing to send some other money to someone else, so he sent a check to my friend for like $5,000 (trumpet was only $500) and said if he could ship a.s.a.p. afterwards and also send the remaining to someone else. The check was fake! Lol

what if you cashed the check at a check cashing place?

They normally get a form of ID and/or your fingerprint. Not a good idea.

im just gonna cash it and wait till it bounces as counterfit

on the side note, i wrote him back saying that i will need $100 in cash to deregister the vehicle in US, so when i 'ship' to UK, it wont show up as stolen

Then your ass will get owned for passing a counterfit check. Great plan.
