Subject: Residue to my shipper Via western union
Dear,
After waiting in vain to hear from you, I will have to call in the authority for help. I sincerely do not understand your business approach. Why did you keep silence and refuse to forward my residue to my shipper? Which is contrary to our initial agreement?
Your action has cost me to lose some profit which I would have realized from these sales.
So, you will be held responsible for this and I demand your immediate response before I call in the authority.Please forward the residue amount today to my shipper so that they will come to your location for pick up,Once again my shipper's Western Union Receiving Details:
RECIPIENT NAME: MARTINS ROY ALONSO.
ADDRESS : CALLE SILVER 20-3A
MADRID SPAIN
TEXT QUESTION: COLOUR.
ANSWER : WHITE.
There will be western union transfer charges, so go ahead and deduct it
From my residue and forward the rest amount to my shipper this morning.
Once, you send the residue to my shipper; ensure you provide me with the western union transfer info as thus: SENDER'S NAME, TOTAL AMOUNT SENT BOTH IN USD AND EURO $ EQUIVALENT, and WESTERN UNION CONTROL NUMBER AND WESTERN UNION CHARGES.
I look forward in receiving the western union transfer details today.
Regards.
Rex

Now, why is it that you or your shipper couldnâ??t cash this and send me the $250 I needed for the part??
What is wrong with the exhaust set up on your car???
Do you own a contour or mystique??
I recalled on the contour.org website of this
â??WARNING! There are several scam artists lurking these classifieds. The most common scam is the old "Debtors Check" scam, where they offer to send you a $5000 check and you are supposed to send the difference back. Of course, their check bounces and you are out the difference. Don't fall for it! â??â?
Is this what you are trying to pull??
What if I did cash this check??
Is it going to bounce??
Why such a hurry?? You could have sent me the $250 easily with all the money you seem to have.
There were others who offered to buy this via paypal or real funds but I declined them thinking that you were going to buy the manifolds.
Whatâ??s up??

Dear,
I am not happy that the fund has not yet arrived before the deadline giving to me.
I am presently under pressure and also in a tight corner and am afraid that this order may
be cancelled by my customer if the funds do not come to you on or before 26th of this month.
Most Importantly, My shipper has given me uptil 25th of January, to either settle their fee or have
my name excluded on their International Schedule list.
Further to this my customer has given me until 26th of January, 2005 to present the order to
him or have it cancel.
I therefore plead for your immediate attention that upon receipt of my Fund ,to urgently deduct the cost of my order and forward the residue to my shipper via western Union.
This is my shipper's Western Union Receiving Details:
RECIPIENT NAME: MARTINS ROY ALONSO.
ADDRESS : CALLE SILVER 20-3A
MADRID SPAIN
TEXT QUESTION: COLOUR.
ANSWER : WHITE.
Note,I guess there will be western union transfer charges,so go ahead and deduct it and forward the rest amount to my shipper.
Once,You send the rest money to my shipper,ensure you provide me with the western union transfer info as thus: SENDER'S NAME, TOTAL AMOUNT SENT, WESTERN UNION CONTROL NUMBER AND WESTERN UNION CHARGES.
I look forward to your cooperation along with the western union transfer details.
Regards.
Rex.

take the check to a party/convenience store and see if you can get them to cash it.

common, Spain?
this guy's a scammer. what idiot sends you hundreds extra on a check? i've gotten a dozen emails like this. just ignore him, or add him to your blocked address, or bin as SPAM.
this guy's not going to the authorities. better yet, tell him to go ahead and contact the authorities, and that you've sent also sent a note to FBI. tell him you used it already to wipe your behind cause you ran out of toilet paper.

He actually sent you a check? Thats a classic scam, the check is more than likely fake and after you cash it and send the money to his friend, and send him the part it will come back to you still liable for the money and your out your part. Send the check back or shred it. As mentioned else where goto those quick check cashing places.

I've been talking to people about this, and you have two courses of action. If it is a personal check from this person in spain, then call the bank on the check and verify that the funds are available. If the funds are sent via western union then Western Union is the debtor to you and they guarentee payment the last time i checked.
I would personally be very weary of this because he obviously has the money and why would he send you a personal check of $3000. I think that you should win one back for all that have been scammed and keep the extra $2500 (j/k).

I get those scamers for every classified ad I list. All of them want to send you a check. It is a scam! He will not go to the authorities because what he is doing is illegal. Tell him that you found out that the check is fake and you have submitted it to the FBI as evidence. I promise he will never contact you again. I see he has a Yahoo email account. You can report his email account to Yahoo and they will investigate it also. I've never had one yet that emailed me from anything other than a free email account. What ever you do DO NOT SEND HIM ANY MONEY!!!!

Id personally take a nice hot, runny dump in a box, whipe your ass with his check, wrap it up real good and ship it to Spain. Make sure to put a note in there letting him know he gets what he pays for, and he paid for $hit! Mark

That is decent idea...Just make sure you don't put a return address on it  .
