Default Beware Of Scammer

With phone number listed with google voice, this is the only site I have this gear listed on, so he's trolling here.

"Do you accept cashiers check and when it clears we make arrangement for shipment"

I had the same experience last week. Teceived a text from a 323 (California) area code inquiring about my for sale items. We text back and forth for 20min and then he said he would send a bank check and once it cleared we can make arrangements for shipment. Sounded strange so told him no thanks

And when they do send you a check, even it clears your bank, give it a few extra days to make sure it doesn't bounce. Had a guy send me a check, begged me to send the item right away, blew him off for a few days, check cleared next day, 3 days later it bounced and I got notified by my bank that it was a bogus check. Emailed him back asking how he wanted to proceed and he never responded, lol.

Kind of like the IRS scams. Call saying you owe money, and tell you to avoid prosecution send I tunes cards. so may people fall for this every day.
How much music do you think the IRS listens to.
Lol

I always thought (hoped) this site was beneath the scammer's radar. Apparently, not so.
