Hey,

Here's another one...some going by [email protected] wants to pay me $1500 over my asking price for my old boat. Willing to pay via paypal and the boat will be shipped to the UK.
Only Jerry Rhome I know of was an NFL player LOL.

Anyone else run into this?

P.S. this guy doesn't know what he's buying; never mentions boat in his e-mail and wants pictures now!

Tell him to send the money and wait for the funds to clear the bank, and if and when all is done and said, and the bank cannot reverse the transaction ship the boat.
Just my.02

What sucks is you STILL have to be careful in this instance...

A common scam is to obtain an account information from a larger company that always has a load of money in their account. However, the account is generally set up so money cannot be withdrawn from the account. The funds WILL clear because the money is in the account, but subsequently the bank will reverse the transfer because the funds were removed from an account that doesn't have check writing privileges. Your bank will be left holding the bag and they'll go after you...

Is there any legal time frame or are you always on the hook??

I re-read the post again, makes perfect sense!!

Had the same thing happen to me on selling a GTO. In the end the guy had a shipping company to pick up the car but he couldn't pay the shipper due to he was out to sea and the shipper would not accept western union. So he wrote back and said he would wire an additional $1500 on top of the $1500 over the asking price and asked me to pay the shipper before he comes to pick up the car. From the beginning I knew this guy was a scam so I f'ed with him for a few days, making like I was interested. He ended up emailing me counterfit PayPal emails to pay for the shipping. I screwed with the guy for a few more days then just threw him into the spam mail
