From a reader:
Hi just found your website and ever since I've posted this amount on craigslist for this item I have been receiving emails with similar instructions where buyer can not make contact except email and text and extremely shady money transfer details are required.
I received a check from this "John Beller" after he stated he was going to buy this as a gift for his uncle which in all honesty I could care less why or who he buys it for but it's the shadiness of the transactions especially that the check made out to me is from some company in India. I can copy and scan check to you.
Anyway, I am in no way shape or form depositing this check into my account or making any transactions with this individual(s) except keeping lines of communication open to find out who this really is.

You have to send the remaining money to the shipper's for them to come for the pickup, you will have to send the money through western union money transfer because that is the only way that they are receiving payment, you should be able to locate western union store in your area or ask at a nearby gas station or Wal-Mart, you can also visit www.westernunion.com and click on find agent location, to find the nearest western union store in your area, send the money to the ship men information below: -
Name: Richard Sharp
Address: 605 Boston Post Rd
City: West Haven
State: Connecticut
Zip Code: 06516.
deduct the western union transfer charges from the money and get back to me with the western union details of the money sent, for the withdrawal of the money, such as:
SENDER NAME:
ADDRESS:
TOTAL AMOUNT SENT:
WESTERN UNION CHARGES:
MONEY TRANSFER CONTROL NUMBER:
the shipper's will contact you when they receive the money to schedule the pickup date at your convenient time, get this done and get back to me asap.

I am glad to hear back from you, i am buying this for my uncle and he will surely like it, the payment will be made through check. I have no problem with you waiting for the check to go through at your bank because it will be issue from my bank. It is secure for online transaction, i will wait for your bank to verify and clear that the check is good before we can proceed with the shipment. My bank manager informed me that the check would clear immediately at your bank as it was from my business account. Which is confirms to all American Banking Association rules and standards. Did you have more picture of it for me to see and also email me your full name and address with your phone number to call you before i mail you the check.

This same scammer sent me a check to buy a pro tools recorder.Sent 3000$.I was asking1200$.He wanted back the balance to be sent to someone in Georgia,who will pick up recorder.My bank cleared his check,so I withdrew 1900$ cash from the teller.I sent him the balance.The next day my bank says it didn't clear.I lost my money that I had in the account,and now owe the bank,they say.They cleared the check.That is the reason I did send them money.The bank should be held responsible for giving me the money.I am sueing them.
