information uber_allie | Does this sound fishy to you? |
I am selling an item on ebay and I just got this message, it sounds like a scam to me but I want a second and third opinion the following is the message : "hello seller, I am urgently in need of your item and i shall be offering you $300 and additional $200.00 for USPS/EMS express maill shipping cost of the items to my store in west africa, when you have the money cleared ok.i will be making an the payment through cashier check So if you are ok with this arrangement you end the auction and get back to me with your full name and address and also phone number so i can send the check to you asap. thanks." Now, the opening bid is $100 and the shipping is $35, so the large amount of money is suspicious...is this a scam? |

This is absolutely a scam, they will be fraudulent cashiers checks, DO NOT accept his offer. This is called advance fee fraud, or a 419 scam. The rule of thumb should be "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is." Here is an excerpt from the Wikipedia surrounding "auction overpayment":
In another updated scam, the scammer offers to buy some expensive item (e.g., jewelry or a car, that the prospective victim advertised on eBay, for example, or a legitimate classified-ads website such as craigslist) by official, certified, bank or cashier's check. The check will have an "accidentally" or mutually agreed higher value than the price of the item, so the scammer asks the victim to wire the extra money to some third party as soon as the check clears. Because banks in the USA are required by law to honor a check within 1-5 working days (even before a check has cleared)[4], they will report the proceeds as available for withdrawal before the check is presented to the issuing bank for clearance and the fraud is discovered. Most banks will hold the victim accountable for the value of the counterfeit check. |

Yes, report the user to eBay, it's definitely a fraud. This is the typical Nigerian scam. |

Yes it would be a scam! eBay use your proper names etc...never write things like "Dear Seller", "dear ebay customer" etc....
Just delete it! |

Well, check his feedback first. You're not required to sell it to him. If it is a scam (as it sounds) Report the person to ebay. |

Without question. You are being asked to give all the needed info to clean out your bank accounts and credit cards. Report this to your state's Attorney General. |

West Africa, Nigeria, get the connection? |

Certainly doesn't sound good, but it still MIGHT be legitimate. My hubby sold some stuff on eBay, and someone contacted him immediately, too. Turns out, he started the bid WAY TOO LOW and this guy wanted to get in while the getting was good. Just do your homework, ask questions, be cautious. |

I live in South Africa and alot of online scams come from West African countries. I personal have been bombarded with them. This letter is similar to the scam mail. It mentions "your item" which shows that he/she could be mas mailing this letter out to people. I would strongly suggest that you receive the check first and clear it, before selling anything. Don't let those big numbers fool you. |

Yes it's a scam. Sometimes even if your bank accepts and credits your account for a cashiers check it can be found to be fake and returned MANY WEEKS later.
I only accept US Post office money orders which can be turned into CASH right at the post office. Once I have the cash in my hand, I ship.
Remember, just because it clears your bank, doesn't mean it's good. |
