Same thing happened to me when we were selling puppies. Asking 350. for purebred boxers. They sent 4 wal mart money orders for 1,000 each right to my door. said to cash it and use some for a kennel and the shipping of the dog to NY. With the change they wanted me to send it VIA western union to Nygeria. I called the fuzz and they told me to call a number. Turns out it was the secret service that is investigating it. Sad thing is they can't catch them because it is so easy to get a email address from anywhere anymore. So when you report them they stop using the one they used on you and get a new address. I think I still have the money orders here somewhere I will look.



But if it sounds to good to be true then it is and after they contact you tell them to eff off and just keep an eye on your incoming email's and make sure they are not loaded with viruses. I have seen them get you that way if they can't get money out of you.

I almost got screwed on ebay! Some french jackass hacked into my account, and posted a 200,000 dollar car for sale on my account. He was scaming anyone who was going to buy the car, and I would get the blame for it! Luckly I caught it in time, and changed everything! Actually I have all of his information like his name and a whole bunch of other stuff. Who should I report him to?

About a year and a half ago when we first saw this scam we told the guy to send the money orders. He did, they were damn good counterfeit coppies of USPS money orders. We turned them in to the USPS. We get emails like this all the time. We just tell the jerk, yeah we will sell it to you, but, bring us cash and it's yours. We never hear from them again.
