many ways that scams go on on craigslist
they send a check that is over the amount of the item they go after high dollar items so they can make a bigger haul you list your lathe for 4000 and they purposely send you a check for 5000 they say ooops i sent too much can you send me the 1000 back or maybe even say send me 950 since i caused this problem of course their check is no good best way to handle this is only take cash or if the check is written on a bank nearby take the check to that bank the bank will tell you right away if it is real some sellers will actually accept a check and give the buyer the lathe and pay them the over amount losing a lathe and cash if i am offered a check in person i say sure i will drive us both to that bank right now and we can cash it together |

The "seller" told him he would ship it - just send me the money by Western Union. Yeah, right! |
