Classic, just pure comedy gold!

 

How did you get all that info?

 

The Internet is all-knowing. All you need are the right tools and a sufficient knowledge of how the Internet really works. Lookup the Unix command "whois" on Google.

 

I dont quite understand how it works. How is he scamming you for $7000 if he is the one sending you a cashier's check for $23000? So he would be taking $7000 of his own money back? Sorry for my ignorance lol. This guy I know at school recieved a check from some stranger from somewhere in Africa of $2800 to buy car parts for him and he told me friend to keep $400. Is this that type of scam?

 

Here's how it works:

Victim deposits check in bank. Victim usually assumes that cashier's checks are as good as cash, the bank doesn't help by clearing funds in little or no time.

Victim sends off goods and a check for the difference ($7000 in this case).

A week or two later, the cashier's check bounces because it's a forgery. Victim is out the property and now owes the bank for the $7000.


Great little scam isn't it?

 

Victim is usually not out property as the car is usually never really picked up by anyone as this scams come from overseas or canada usually.

 

For a car, yes. But this scam is also popular for smaller items, esp. notebook computers. There was a big scam going on a while back with forged checks and Apple Powerbooks. These were not even shipped overseas, but within the US.

 

What if he doesn't send the money until he cashes the cashier's check? And if it doesn't cash, then he won't send any money. Sorry im a little slow lol

 

The cashier's check is fake money but your $7000 refund check is real money. Those two don't balance the scales. You're out $7k.

 

Here's how:

1. Assume you have a checking account with a $1000 balance.
2. Assume you accept a cashier's check for $20,000 for a $15,000 sale.

You deposit the cashier's check. Usually, depending on the bank, the money is in your account immediately or within 24-48 hours. This depends on several factors: your relations with the bank, your balance vs. the check amount, and who the check is drawn against.

You now have a $21,000 balance. When you see $21,000 "available" you assume it means the check has cleared. It hasn't. The check can take up to two weeks to actually clear.

You send off the balance of $5K, when you sees the money "deposited" in the account.

You now have a $16,000 balance.

You go off and buy that $5000 plasma TV you always wanted.

You now have a $11,000 balance.

A week later the cashier's check bounces because it was a forgery.

Your balance goes from $11,000 to -$9,000 overnight and the bank starts screaming at YOU.
