Response to an add placed on WERA (FBI complaint submitted)
"Thank you for your response, I'm very satisfied with the condition of the helmet and the final price. I live at Brooklyn, NY 11214, all i need you to do now is to consider the helmet sold to me. I would like to have your Full Name and Address with your Phone Number in order to mail out the check to you. I work with United Nations on Global Environment Facility Energy Right, right now I am in Germany for a confrence meeting to pledge and support the Global Environment Facility Energy, but i would instruct my secretary to issue the check out to you immediately. You don't need to bother yourself about the shippping, I have an international courier shipping company that would come for the pick-up, they would also determine and secure the shipment because i have some other items which would be shipped along with yours so let me have the weight of the helmet so that a waybill can be created before the shipping would be done cause i would be adding some extra fees to the check which is meant for the shipping and insurance. All you need to know is as soon as you receive the check, you would deduct your fee and send the rest funds to the shipping company information that would be provided to you in the meantime. I would tell my secretary to call you, so please get back to me ASAP with your Full Name, Address, Phone Number and what you decide so we can proceed with the payment. I would be hoping to hear from you as soon as possible."

These things are all over the place, about half the time I put something on Craigslist I get one of these. I feel sorry for the people that don't figure it out. How do these crooks get away with it?

I think they are from out of the country and there is no way to catch them.

I think the way it works, they send you a check and use the info from cashing the check to get into your account, with all the other info you give them.

I had one of these ads sent to me and when they asked where to send the check, I sent them the head of CIAs Infomation. She emailed back saying how she was gonna report me to the FBI and CIA and I said go right ahead they already have the check. Hahahah
From what I understand:
They send you the check.
You cash the check and send the item and pay for shipping.
You send the item.
Once the item is sent, the check bounces and now you owe the bank money and lose the item you had for sale (because you already sent it)
