[QUOTE="nux1, post: 14130363, member: 157408"] I've read of a similar scam a while back. The person who is texting your daughter (scammer) probably put up an ad for a pricier item let's say an expensive laptop although any pricy item works here then lists it for less than the laptop retails. The scammer then finds a lower priced item to buy (your daughters stuff in this case). When someone eventually bites (victim #1) on the scammers deal they just have them wire the money to buy the other item from victim #2 (your daughter). Victim #2 then ships the goods to the scammer. When they get the goods they stop stalling for time and eventually victim #1 realizes there is no laptop and files a report. It likely get ignored but if they actually investigate they will trace the wire back to victim #2 and eventually make them pay. This scammer just got a bit more advanced and decided to get the money instead. Good thing you guys knew it was a scam. As a rule of thumb never send/accept wired money from anyone you don't personally know. Tell your daughter to hold on to those money orders and money as someone might come looking for them. The reports should help as proof she did nothing wrong too. [/QUOTE]
