SUCKER

Lame scam artist. It must work with some people because this is the second time someone tried this dumb thing.
I placed an ad on a flea market site on Facebook.
I got a message to email the man's wife with the item and the offer.
The reason he does the email thing is because people on Facebook report him and the account is closed by Facebook. So in order to keep the fish on the hook he switches to email. I got this back from "his wife:"

(The item is a some used 3 ring notebooks and a few binders.)

I got this email back:

to my work frame and my Kids,I will not be able to come with the cash and pick

with it and the payment will be deliver within 24hours.. God Bless

Name to be on the payment...........
Address to mail the check to.............

If it is too good to be true. It's not true. This is same exact scam that was tried on me a few months ago when I was selling my father's hospital bed on Facebook. When I called the person on it they let loose with a rant of 4-letter words and nasty expletives.

Even if the offer were true I wouldn't want to deal with someone like that.
I'm asking $10 for the lot. This person is offering $50 extra= $60 for a few used 3-ring binders... and a handful of report covers?

No doubt there is some problem with the check. Or someone shows up to pick the item up and there is a mix-up. Or the plan changes at the last minute and I have to give his driver cash for some reason or other. Like would I mind giving his driver $120 cash and the driver will write me a check for $200. It's definitely a con of some sort.

He even throws in a "God Bless You." Some of the worst rip offs have that included. I knew someone who always prayed to Jesus before she shop-lifted. And she was very good at shop-lifting. The old days before Hare Krishna.

There are some real creeps out there.

My initial knee jerk response:
"Sorry. I don't want to do this. Go rip someone else off."

But I have sent another email to this person:
"Praying to God and offering blessings is always good. But you need to stop cheating people. You can ask Him for anything, Why not ask Him for devotional life, eternal life full of bliss?" Hare Krishna..
And send the link..
