Sketchy deal?

[Switch]

That sounds alittle weird to me, I wouldn't do it.

[Merchant]

Well, wait your selling the two rifles correct? And he says that he will do a bank to bank transfer of the money? And he wants you to wait for the money to clear before you ship? It sounds fine to me, personally I would ask for cash or a money order as well as his full name and address. I would also save all his and your messages until the transaction is complete and he is satisfied incase he takes you to court over it. But I don't understand what is so sketchy about unless its the fact that he WANTS you to wait for the money to clear and then ship?

[Dukky]

yeah don't do it. Plenty of other people will come along with less sketchy deals that want to buy your stuff. Just play it safe dude.

[Merchant]

Well if in doubt, don't take the deal. It's not worth loosing the rifles over I don't think.

[Deleteplz]

That's sketchy as hell, don't go near that with a 10-foot pole.

Stick to selling to people who can form basic sentences that make sense. Also, I do paypal only in all my sales. Although some people don't like that.

Never trust anyone who wants your Full name or anything of the sort. Not to mention your bank will not process anything until you are aware of it. Its a scam!!! Don't do it.

[CommieHunter]

That's a scam. It's not just sketchy, it's bank fraud. He wants your address and bank address to try and lift your $$. Report him if you want, cops probably won't do much, but get out.

it sounds like a middle school dropout wrote that message. my 3 year old niece has better grammar.

[Blackbriar]

That's definantly a scam. It's kinda funny how he acts like he totaly controls the situation: "I am buying", "The payment IS going to", "I want you to".

[jeckel01]

It sound like a major scam to me.

Ok, so I'm selling two guns on ASR, and was contacted by this guy. After I told him the prices of the two guns, he sent me this email;

I am buying the two guns please let me know the price.The payment is
going to inform of a check and i want you to know that the paymet is
gonna
be issued to you bank directly..so you will be contacted by your bank
as soon as the money is cleared into your account. I want you to
provide me with your full name and address as well as your bank name
and address. Also,i want you to know that shipment will only commence
after the money
has been cleared in to your account.
Hope i can trust you on this.
I will be waiting for your immediate response.
Thanks...

Now this seems very sketchy to me. What do you guys take of this?

That is right out of fraud / scam 101......run for the tall grass dude. Con men or confidence men will get in your face, even if caught in the act. It is amazing how many people will back down from them and go along with their deal.

[rockettravis]

sounds exactly like a a foreign dude trying to rip you off. I get those all the time from a Craig's list add.

[Mattman154]

What would he be able to do with the bank in question and his name? I believe the calls of scamming, I'm just curious how he would be able to take the money.

[Jewish Ninja]

I bet he's a king in Nigeria in need of helping transferring of several million as well. Sounds legit

I was going to sell my rifle on craigslist and I got a very similar reply to my email so I decided to ignore it and try to sell it on here, I don't know if that's an option for you but I would suggest that. Good luck with the whole situation!
