I saw that on TV its a scam....They send you a bogus check and you send them back like $2000 of good money and then the check doesnt clear

Yea i used to get those on my college email account like crazy, haha he was like i need a way to get paid for my paitings and all this crap

Definiely a scam.

Another one is that you get an e-mail from a person/company who just went bankrupted or that person's close relative died and left them a nie wad of mony.
Only thing is that it's in some type of off shore account or somethig. So wat they need is your personal bank account information and they can transfer you teh money and you withdrawl it and send them a cashiers check and you keep like $1mil or something.

I always get those type of emails whenever i sell something on craiglist

Yeah i get those scam letters all the time on craigslist!!
some ppl even im'ed me and damn near cussed me out because i refused to accept a "Cheque" i mean i would take the check and wait till it cleared or ef it burn them and not send them ish!! But karma is a bytch so i just ignore such buyers!!

it's almost impossible.. only thing we can do is flag them and have CL close the post.. i get those emails a lot...it's bascially getting u to send them money, and u get nothing in return...
