Here is email (see below) I just got this within 24hour of posting my Lorinser RS3 wheels 20x10 for sale. Same song and dance, slightly different wording.

The last guy sent me fraud check from Switzerland. It was so phony I am keeping it for a souvenir just for laughs. I kept him thinking I was involved to show him how it feels to have his time wasted.

Here is a typical fraud email, I just got this one last nite for my wheels:

Hello,
My name is Sherri Murray,I have a client that is interested in buying your item,he informed me that the payment will be remmited via a (CERTIFIED CASHIERS CHECK ).Is the price you listed for the item firm? or what is the actual last price? In order to conclude the deal as soon as possible,the payment that will be sent to you will include the money for the sales of your item and the shippers fees for organising a home pick up service.You do not need to worry as my shipping company will come to pick the item up from your Location for shipment. What I want to clarify is that will you be able to send the shipping charges to the shipping agent through western union Money Transfer method as soon as you get and cashed the check and you deduct the money for your item?If you agree to assist in this capacity,send your full name,your address and phone numbers,which will be use for the issue of the payment.
Thanks.
Sherri Murray
PS: Email me the price of your item : ok?
