Thanks gud, that i found this web site, the scam bank check is just arrived at my place today.

Here is my story.
I sells a Rolex watch at Timezone, there're many interest buyers but among them there's also some buyers who:
- not intending to ask about watch or product you sell at all, well she asks for more photoes of course
- ask in first place that i would accept the bank check

Then i didn't receive anything for the last 2 months, but she keeps sending emails to ensure that i can be the good tasty victim. Suddenly she said that she got ill, dead mom, angry husband... Wow what's terrible life she has, but still she wants to buy a Rolex watch from me :x

Then her husband sends me mail instead and told that his wife is almost died now, but he wants to continue her (scaming) business. Finally i see that they sent a UPS package to me with the tracking number, and of course there is a bank check.

The funny thing is my item costs 4000$, but the check gives 6800$, then he told me that i must sends the different amount 2000$ via WestenUnion, to the following address:

Quote:
You would be sending $2000 to john Miners
100 JERMYN STREET LONDON W1E 6DJ
HE is my assistant, and he is waiting for the western union info


The funnier thing is i has sold my watch to another real buyer. I told her husband, BUT he INSISTS that i still need to transfer the difference to him and he will let me know what to do next with the rest of the amount. He told that the check has been paid and i have to accept it! :evil:

I have a sense from the start that they are not real buyers, but i was mistakably sent them my name & address & phone.

Well, now i'm thinking what should i do with check?
Can i report this to the police or anywhere? AS i want to protect others as well.


The guy who sent mail is
james Scott <james123_miners@yahoo.com>

and his (probably fake) wife:
Sarah Scott <nx_543@hotmail.com>

i think they cruise around on the TimeZone classifiers and watchnet.com

Take care you guys!

Tear up the check. It's from outside the country so no one here can do anything about it. If they ask you to wire them the money, just tell them that you took the check to the bank and the bank said it was conterfeit and would not cash it. Then end all correspondence with them. That usually stops the emails.
