NO, DO NOT DO IT.
My friend got pulled into this, and took the check to the bank, froze all their accounts. It is considered fraud.
:220v: :cry:
I have my boat in HB classified, I get a response the other day if the boat is still avalible & bottom line price. I e-mail back. then he want's pic to final the deal. I did not send pics yet & then get this e-mail (see below). He wants to give me a check for the boat sight unseen. Agreed price is 31k he hands over a check for 37k and then I give him 6k back in change. I SMELL A RAT.
I have finalized issues with
my client this morning. He has just informed me that
he is expecting a refund payment, of a boat that he
had earlier ordered and paid for before, but the order
was later cancelled, because when the agent who went
for the pick up of the boat, inspected the boat,
he discovered that boat was not in any good
condition, so he cancelled the order and he then filed
in for a refund of his money. My client intends use
this his refund to pay for this your boat that he
has now ordered for. And due to company policy and
book keeping, this refund payment which he is
expecting, can only be made out in this one whole
amount, that is, the full amount that he paid before
because the company policy only allows a refund
payment in one cashier check, so he has to instruct
for the check payment to be drawn to you. So he has
informed me that payment will get to you in a cashier
c! heck. He is expecting a refund payment of 37,000 When payment
gets to you, you are required to deduct the cost of
your boat which is 31,000 and return his remaining
balance of 6,000 back to my customer for him to be able to
offset shipping charges and other commisson charges.
After all payment has reached you and balance sent
back to my client,the agent will come for pick up,
while you send other the reciept and other title
papers to my client via courier. You are required to
forward your payment information (1) name, (2)address
and (3) phone number for payment to be delivered to
you immediately.
Thanks.

I would report him to the police right away. We know he didn't do anything to you but he might have pulled this spam with 100's of other people. Do your good deed man!!!
This scam shows up almost every month
Thanks
BTW my wife is norweigan, I'll be sleeping with one eye open

People have been running this scam on ebay for quite a while. The check won't be any good and you are out all that money. Lots of people have lost big money. You should report him to the cops. There is no reasonable accounting practice that would make such a transaction necassary.
Been down the "report it to the cops" road several times. no one seems to care. it's like your crying wolf. The only time they do anything is when your speeding!
THIS IS A KNOWN SCAM> CALL THE COPS. HE will pass you a fake Check take your boat and you will be out of a boat and cash.
The only good thing that comes from stuff like this is that there's always someone who didn't realize THIS IS A SCAM. It's done all the time on big ticket items like cars, trucks, boats, even jewelry, etc.
If it sounds too good to be true or too stupid (who buys any vehicle sight unseen?!) then it probably is. :jawdrop:
