This guy is on here & almost got me. goes by the name of Christopher Edward. Phone numbers he uses are 8016698757 & 8016097570. The MO is.... 1- when you post an ad he will ask"will you take a cc?"2- if you say yes he will say"take the add down ASAP Im local & will send the check &arrange for pick up after check clears" 3- the waiting game starts(I sold idem to some one else at this time) 4- sends a check 4 weeks later for 1000.00 more than asking price "thats shipping chargers included" guess he wants that back some how.. the check was from "Japan Society,Inc." where he is not employed 5- harasses you about the money he sent you 6- will never pick up phone only text. 7- he has my name/address/phone#....cant do much with that but don't let this guy get over on you!!

I've got that offers off Craig's list just recently just like that, with out seeing the car pay more than I'm asking says the extra is to pay the shipping company when they come.
I said no thanks

Prick scam artists. Hate that shit. Glad they are easy to spot though.
Would like to turn the tables on some unsuspecting jerkoff just once, once.

Honestly, anyone that falls for that kind of stupid shit is almost as much to blame as the scammer.

Unless you've been living under a rock for 10 years, that is.
