I advertised a tractor on here and the guy said he wanted it and sent a certified check for all but $200 of it. About 2 days later he wanted me to send part of it back because his girl was sick and needed the money for doctor bills.Well i sent no money back as I thought it was a scam.Check was no good.
 
A couple of years ago I had an old H for sale on another site. A guy bought it sent me a cerified cashiers check for the tractor and another certified cashiers check for shipping of the tractor to Canada. Well I just couldn't beleive the guy couldn't find a H closer to home to buy I am in NC. So I took the check to my bank and they called the Canadian back it was wrote on guess what the checks were bad. Police got involved and found out this guy was printing the checks at home, and would let you cash them give the money to the shipping company which was also him and then you got to pay for the shipping out of your pocket. Last I heard he was arrested. The reason he picked tractors from so far away was this cost more to ship so he recieved more of your money.
 
Thanks for the info.That kind of sounds like the same guy.The first message I got from him was from Alaska.He sent me at least 1 or 2 messages every day telling me he was going to get the law after me and I was such a bad guy because I wouldn't send some of his money back for dr bills.
 
Whenever anything like that happens it is your duty to protect yourself and future victims.
SAVE EVERYTHING. MAKE COPIES OF EMAILS AND OTHER CORRESPONDENCE.
Most Sheriff Dept. have an internet crime division, contact them.
If they do not, contact the nearest FBI office.
There is a very easy FBI INTERNET FRAUD COMPLAINT form to fill out
and they will contact you for more details and evidence.
I have used it twice and it works great.
One was a Canadian money order and they caught the guy.
