It's a scam.
We had someone trying to buy tractors from our dealership the same way.
They want to run the money thru your bank so they can get your acct. info, then they'll have everything they need to rip you off. |

YES..... I believe that its called the "Nigerian Scam". In the end you give them money to steal your furniture and end up with nothing. |

YES - do not accept anything like this. If they offer you more money than you are asking - SCAM -
They are usually from Nigeria but can be from other over seas countries.
What happens is the MO / back check is bad. It takes a few weeks for your bank to figure this out and by then you already sent this guy the money. The check bounces and you are out all that moey plus some.
Word of advice - sell locally or on Ebay :)
I run a home business - and get these emails all the time. |

my money is on scam. If your going to sell your furniture online that's cool, but you should try using a more local based web sales company. Like the online classified ads or even the classified ads themselves in the paper. I'm not to sure about his plan to pay through a overdraft international money order, but my gut tells me that someones trying to scam you for your stuff. |

do not use western union as it a common place for scams. and they probably use a stolen card details thing. and its a scam but you just give them fake details. |

This is a scam!!!! They will send you a cashers check or money order for more than you are asking, and tell you to send the balance via western union. The check is a fake and it will bounce within two weeks (they look real). No one will show up to pick up the furniture and you will be out the $450 and what ever you sent them. This is a old scam. Why would any one send extra money to someone they do not know |

Was there any fine print that said you also won the Nigerian lottery ? |

Anything international tends to be a scam nowadays. No real business operates like that. Also note the mispelled words in the letter. Does it feel right deep down in your gut? If not then don't do it. |

This is definitely a scam. They did a 20/20 about this, and what they do is send you a fake money order which since it says international, it'll take a week or two for your bank to verify that it's fake. By that time you would've sent your own money to them and you wouldve been screwed. |

This is the classic Nigerian check cashing scam.
Don't cash it. If you do, the check will bounce and you will be responsible for paying it back to the bank! |

i would ignore that if i where you, Anything involving cash that isn't done in the normal fashion, fair and square isn't worth considering and very probably a scam. don't send them ANY personal details. |

Definitely a scam. The money order will be fake. You'll lose whatever amount you send to the scammers.
DO NOT GIVE THEM ANY OF YOUR INFORMATION. |
