A selling scam also!!!! I was trying to sell my old McKormic 1952 model a while back, got a bite right away. The fellow said he will send me a check for $6000.00. The tractor was posted at $2500.00. OH he said, that is OK because the balance would be for shipping it to the UK. OH I said and thought that was OK. I got the check a few days later, looked very official, so I deposited it to see if it will clear. I also confirmed to the agent that the cheques has arrived. Well you would know it. He said "OK, now you have the cheque, just send a cheque for $3500.00 to this agent I have in New York". I said of course I will as soon as your cheque clears. No no he said, you need to send it right away, he is waiting for it. I said no way, only once the check you sent clears will I send anybody any money. Well then for a few days I got threats everyday. I still did not send any money, and thanks God! The cheque bounced. When I reported this to RCMP they advised me that this scam was going on for many months. They took the fellows email and I have no idea if they followed up. He called himself Benson, but I am certain that was phony!
Yes, Beware of scams not only when you sell but when you buy.
) steps to avoid lawsuits. Of course in this case, I don't think prohibiting links to eBay and Craig's List is unreasonable.
