i'm selling my racecar and after a few e-mails i got this one.


Hello, I called my client in the states who is to issue out payment to you and he said the payment will get to you by weekend via FedEx or Ups and the payment is in Us Cashiers Check of $18,000,I know you will be wondering why the payment is more than what you are selling, the Reason is that he is holding some of my money in a business transaction we had and he promise to pay Back, so I asked him to make out the payment in your name instead of paying me back, now all you have To do is cash the check in your bank or deposit the check in your bank account and withdraw the Excess funds, deduct the actual amount for the item and also an extra $50 which will be for the Stress I have put you through and send the balance funds via Western Union or Money Gram to the Shipping Co. A shipper will be assigned to come over for pickup at your location as soon as the funds is sent to the shipping Co. Details of the shipping Co. will be emailed to you as soon as you have Received payment. Am sorry for all the inconvenience and for not telling you this initially and that’s the reason for the extra money, Hope all is clear to you as what to do when you receive payment? Plz get back to me and do have a great day...


cashiers checks are not guaranteed, and easily forged. so i'm not doing this. i may lose the sale but i will not lose $1950.

his name is Eric Fredrico. watch out.

I bet I have got 30 of these in the last week. They can come from Africa also and England too.

Just letting you know!

I sent one of them dudes to RFD2 about 3 years ago. I had an open trailer for sale, on one of the Midget web sites, same deal, extra money and all. To make a short story long, I kept this dude on the line, long enough for the FBI to put a track on him, he went far enough to send the ck, a cashiers ck, that even my Bank couldn't find fault with, but good ole J Edgar's bunch found him out, it was on a legit account, on a Bank in LA, but the poor guy that had the account, didn't know his ID had been stolen. Kinda comforting to get a personal phone call, from the Agent working the case, to thank me, for putting at least one away! Made my day! Bob

I didn't realize that Bob was an undercover spy for the F.B.I.

this scam has been around for a long time. my youngest son was selling his dirtbike about 6 or 7 years ago and had it listed on the internet. the same offer came up. too good to be true so i went to a website on internet scams and sure enough, there it was.

Scotty, there is a lot you don't know about me, and yes, I was, worked with all them folks in DC for a while, lots of fun, then, wouldn't want to do it now, can't run fast enough. Also had a perfect cover, everyone thought I operated a Race Shop! :thumbBob

Randy....you're selling my Chili Bowl ride? :headbang
