I had a table for sale in the local paper and someone from outside the country has offered to pay for it and have an "agent" pick it up or have it shipped to Buffalo. I Know this is a scam and I was just playing with the person. Here is the last email I got from them... BTW, the table was listed for $50.
Sorry for my delay in contacting you. I will have my bank send the check soon. However, i need a little favour from you. I am currently out of cash down here and i need you to help me get some money down here. I will have my bank in the States send you a certified cashier check of $1000. You will cash the check, take your payment and shipping charges and send the remaining down to me. I would have had my bank send the check to me but US checks do take 3-4 weeeks to clear here in london and due to bank regulations, a staff of the bank is not allowed to send money directly to a customer. I am counting on your tust to do this for me honestly. Do let me know what you think soon.
I was hoping I could forward this email to someone who can maybe prosecute these people. If anyone knows who I should contact to do that, please let me know.
