it's a good chance if you want to collect a rare print-out ie) a really well-made fraud bank certified check, btw.


can't believe this sorta scam still in the try.
for folks, who might not know what it is:
it's not aiming your address, email or bank account whatsoever.
when complied with, you will get a real (but fake) bank certified check in a 'larger' amount,
claiming you can get the balance back after taking some premium (how kind they are) when shipping is arranged.
the check most likely work when deposited and you will see no problem for a while, cuz it usually takes more than few days to verify legit or not and few more days for the bank report it to LE and notify you and a few more wks for LE to send you an warrant blah blah.
your bike + extra money 'gone' + you are arrested for circulating fraud check—it doesn't matter whether you knew it was fraud check or not, btw. the law sees only the fact that 'you deposited a fraud check'. long agony...

some tips to spot scam attempt:
1. the item is not spelled/identified out in the email.
2. good effort to describe of who he/she is. you don't want to let ppl know what occupation you have or why you moved to amsterdam just for buying a bike, right?
3. always mentions they are gonna 'arrange shipping'. never implies they are gonna show up in person.
4. some stupid email asks you to let them know 'what you are selling'... uhmmm basically, hey i am interested in buying your item. let me know what you are selling?

i know most folks are already aware of. so this is just for some innocent ppl out there, just in case.
