any one ever hear of a Mark Beem from CL

[MH Hawker]

I am sure he is a scammer, I have a motor I am selling on CL and he contacted me and I am waiting on a over night check , but he wont give me a tracking number. I have traced his phone nunber to Ladysmith Virginia just north of Richmond and his e mail to a private mail box company in Atlanta Georgia and his shipping company to a Chinese restaurant in Philly. And his present line is the check in is the mail and its more than you asked , and you can pay the shipper, sounds like a standard scam. Just thought I would throw this out there. And of course if a check dose show up I wont do any thing until it clears the bank.

Ok this just keeps getting better and better I just got a Email with a 7.00 am this morning saying a check was being sent over night USPS. Now I got another E mails at 11.30 pm am with a fed x tracking number with point of origin from woodland hills CA. I am going to make him work his ***** of for nothing. The real fun will be when the check doesn't clear. And ok its raining out and I am bored. And hey if the check dose clear, I will ship him the motor. But I think the odds of that are the same as me finding a set of 20 year old twins waiting on me in bed.

the check might i clear(just long enough for you to ship the motor) even if it is a scam. ask the bank how long you should wait before sending the motor.

Steer clear from that one, there are many intricate scams out there and in the end the bank will be knocking on your door. I would hold out for the much preferred method, cash! But I guess it wouldn't hurt to have a little fun with him in the spirit of the holidays and tell him you never got it or send it back. Way too many different locations involved, and none of them even in the same state. Don't even waste the time by depositing it, you will get burned.

Have all the fun you want, but do NOT take that check to a bank. Knowingly trying to pass a bad check is a felony, and you will get to guest with the State Corrections Department until they can determine who knew what about the check.

yeah, you punching a wall after getting screwed.

just leave the scammers alone. not even worth the time to mess with them. simply forward the check with all the information you have to the fbi wire fraud department and be done with it.

Stay away from this turkey. You could end up loosing a wad of money and even facing serious legal problems! Google "Internet check Scams" or "internet Fraud and you will see what I'm talking about.

Below is a quote from one of the internet fraud watchdog sites:

http://fraud.org/tips/internet/fakecheck.htm

The checks are fake but they look real. In fact, they look so real that even bank tellers may be fooled. Some are phony cashiers checks, others look like they?re from legitimate business accounts. The companies whose names appear may be real, but someone has dummied up the checks without their knowledge.

? You don?t have to wait long to use the money, but that doesn?t mean the check is good. Under federal law, banks have to make the funds you deposit available quickly ? usually within one to five days, depending on the type of check. But just because you can withdraw the money doesn?t mean the check is good, even if it?s a cashier?s check. It can take weeks for the forgery to be discovered and the check to bounce.

? You are responsible for the checks you deposit. That?s because you?re in the best position to determine the risk ? you?re the one dealing directly with the person who is arranging for the check to be sent to you. When a check bounces, the bank deducts the amount that was originally credited to your account. If there isn?t enough to cover it, the bank may be able to take money from other accounts you have at that institution, or sue you to recover the funds. In some cases, law enforcement authorities could bring charges against the victims because it may look like they were involved in the scam and knew the check was counterfeit.

Trust me thier is a punch line at the ened of this.

When someone gets run over by an "A-H" driver, completely unexpectedly, I have a great deal of sympathy for their pain.
If that same person were to insist on playing in heavy traffic despite repeated warnings of the danger and gets flattened....:facepalm:....not so much.

Just be careful that you don't end up being the punchee instead of the puncher.
