Anything that includes things about companies overseas and is poorly written is generally a scam.

X2, plus adding another $100 to the total is usually a scam. I dont know what the item is, but when they offer to give you more than retail, thats a no-no

basicly. i hate crap like that. it wastes my time and makes me think im getting more money until i think about it and read it more clearly. it looks like some idiot still in middle school with a 1st grade english teacher wrote that crap.

ive seen these scams over and over again, but they're always under these threads and nobody every follows through..

what happens if you give them your paypal? i'd let them send you the $100 then withdraw it outta your paypal account...

Ya it may clear for a min. then something may happen and paypal will take the money back.

I c why these ppl do this b/c u would fall for it. Dude im selling a phone for $125. This person wants to pay me $100 to ship it, Sometimes u have to think. Plus who offers a shipping price b4 the seller makes one up. Total would be $240 now, i just wanted bout $140 shipped.

[slammed4thgen]

well tell them you will not ship until it clears your bank account

and you cant blame anyone for anything they said because the whole story wasnt told, when i read it im like wtf other than it sounding fishy i didnt know wtf you were talking about!

Thanks for the rear strut bar Bump for a good seller

this happened to my girlfriend before. but it was with a spam check thru the mail. she got one saying the check was for winning a sweepstakes and the check was for $15k. she cashed it and they told her to send $10k of it back to them and the rest was hers. the check bounced and now she cant open a checking account with that bank anymore.

^ i know some one that did the same thing. no offence man but she dumb as fuck for doing that. i would have waited to see what happend with the check before i did anything. i would have cashed it and waited to see what ahppend. if it didn't come back to be a good check then you don't loose money. becuase you can get in ALOT of trouble for that.... passing bad checks = felony
