Craigslist scammer targeting my son...

Why would anyone even deposit such a check?

If that didnt immediately wave a giant red flag...well...

He was originally interested in a drive shaft and axles, then when he heard the gear ratio after sending the check, he said that he didn't want the axles. Front and rear axles for a 4x4 jeep... Then he included extra for "shipping"...

There was no talk about shipping. I do not want to ship something like an axle, that's why we put an ad in local craigslist...


They sent you more money and wanted you to send the extra funds to him? You should have known better! NO ONE does a transaction like that except a POS!

Refer to answer above...

I told my son when I saw the check to be cautious... He also wasn't telling me the whole story at first so I could get a better feel for what was going on...
