i got that exact same one when i was trying to sell my kx125 dont do it total scam. go with cash only. way easer especially with just a rim. i mean i could understand righting a check if it was a car or somethin but come on.

 

[2000CR250]

Yep typical Craigslist scam, don't do it.

 

[tughill283]

i dont see what they have to gain from it??

 

[jcyamablue81]

me either! i aint doing it!

 

[Iridetoo]

What they do is give you a fake check worth more then the amount of the item for YOU to cash. They say that they owe someone money and that person will pick up the item as well as the remaining cash. Happend to a friend, He got a 4500$ check for his 1000$ bike from some guy in the UK.

 

[jcyamablue81]

so what happened to your buddy? they get his bike? that would call for an ass beating!!

 

[bfulton620]

dooooooo it! jump on that sh!t bro! thats allllll you!

 

[bfulton620]

but realy though. dont do it....

 

[DandamanP911]

typical scam

Reply to them saying cash only and you will never be bothered again!!!:angry5:

I like to mess with them. Especially the ones with people trying to sell english bulldog pups for $800 and shit knowing damn well that no respectable breeder is going to ask less than $1500. I will ask them everything that I would ask a breeder plus some and then report them to the bulldog club of america, and craigslist. After a couple times they stop posting up their stupid shit, and trying to screw people that don't know any better at least on all the ones I check around here. I am sure they move their ads to a different spot but at least no one around here will be getting screwed over

dude we did this one time....the guy sent us a check for like 1500 over what he waanted to purchase from us...we kept the check for a bit but decided not to try and cash it. i dont think we would have got in trouble but what he wanted was us to deposite send money from our account and a few days later the check would bounce im sure...u get screwed out of ur own money.

So a while back I had a scam something like this,but I fixed him up real good!First I was supposed to send back the balance of the check(my bank already told me is was fake),so I told him that I did.Then he wants a confirmation # and I give a fake one.So he has to travel around 1 1/2 hours to pick up the funds.Then he emails me and says the # didnt work(no shit).So I give him the same #,changing i didgit only and he goes on again!Now he is worried,but I convinced the fool to go one more time!Well this lasted almost all day with me laughing my ass off the whole time!Finally I told him how he was scammed and he was pissed,but oh well,payback is a bitch.:violent2:

 

[jsmstorm]

haha good one man!

 

[jcyamablue81]

holy sh*t that is good steve!!! i also thought that it was really fishy that they wanted my "mobile number" when i posted it in the add! these people are retarded. i was just excited cause i need to sell this and i had people reply. but oh well i will just wait!
