Scam emails from our members

#713606 - 10/11/08 04:52 PM

Occasionally we have someone who will take the time to sign up and scour the classifieds looking for targets.

It seldom happens, but if you receive an email like the one below, please notify any IDO Staff.

Thanks!

Hi,

Thanks for the getting back to me. I have have a client near you over there in the state He wil make out the payment to you on my behalf...

He will make out a Cashier's Check and send to you. The amount on the
Cashier's Check will be $9,800 ,that will cover the shipping and you will
deduct your money which is $5,200 Therefore, when you recieve the
Cashier's Check you will take it to your bank and cash it, you will deduct
your money and assist in sending the balance to my Shipping company that will
pick up and ship to me.
I want you to email me the following informations below:

1. The full name on the Cashier's Check

2. Mailing Address to send the Cashier's Check to
3.. Contact phone number

So that the check can be written out in your name and mail to your address.Get
back to me asap. PS:I will want you to kindly put SOLD on the advert from the placing site ok, or any interested buyer that mail you,just let them know that it has been sold
ok ,so for doing that i will be willing to compensate you with $200 ,so your
total deduction will be 5,200 Hope this is clear to you.

Thomas Clark
