I posted my car for sale and have gotten three people so far that show interest, and then lastly say "I will send you a check for 5500 plus 3500 shipping but you need to send the shipping company 3500 right away". Are people really that stupid to send them money before the check clears? Daaaamn. Same exact story everytime too. I'd love to catch one of these people and have em locked up for theft. I'm playing along with one of them right now and will try to have the check traced. Hopefully they'll stop wasting peoples time.

Same exacts posts, too, when people come to the forums to complain about it or talk about it. The fact that people get so many scam responses so quickly leads you to believe that several people are actively monitoring the classifieds here. Kinda creepy, but I just hope their scheme doesn't work on anyone, especially CEGers.
