Suspicious Email

[StereoInstaller1]

I had a guy call me from Colorado...using that weird-ass TTD "deaf phone" deal. Wanted to buy a bunch of stereo crap on credit card.

I told him CC was OK, but only in person. He said he was disabled. I asked why he needed 12 DVD players. He said they were gifts. I said "you sound like a scammer, don't call back" and hung up.

Your email sounds pretty shady to me.

Get him to send you the money orders, redraw all the money,
hide it, tell your bank you got rip'd and have em' refund you.

Yeah, that doesn't work. Banks don't hand out money.

They don't send money orders, or else there wouldn't be a problem. The problem lies in the certified check. It's a counterfeit check. Banks don't cash counterfeit checks (at least not permanently).

To the original poster: are you actually still entertaining the idea that this is possibly not a scam?

Nope

Definately a scam..

Sometimes if you can be convincing enough you can reverse the scam. If the scam is for a large amount of money you can tell them you need for them to send a good faith deposit through Western Union for $200 before you can proceed. There is a website that has all kinds of stories, pictures, and tips to scam a scammer.
