A copy of the two messages. Keep in mind, she said that this would be going to London, but her IP came out of the Netherlands on a whois search. Sorry if you are reading this Carol...but sounds kinda fishy to me.

Sounds pretty fishy to me. Sounds very similar to some of the other scams involving us agents oweing people money.

I would steer clear.

 

Its got writtenallover it!!!!!

 

Yeah sounds like a scam. I got a email from "carol" for some parts I listed wanting them sent to Belgium. Sounded fishy, and low and behold, look it up and found you got one already. Looks like I will be deleting that email.

 

scam ,dude. they send a fake check , try to get you to cash it then if you get caught , guess who's butt is in sling? yuppers , YOU. tell "carol" to go straight to hades and never bother you again.if you read some of the posts in this forum , you'll see what i mean. most of the time , they don't even know what you are selling .
