Well here's the story...
I posted my 99 SVT for sale on here about 8-10 weeks ago for $12,500. Someone contacted me, we talked, and he said he was going to send a check and a transporter to come and pick up the car. So I get a check in the mail from Dublin, Ireland, for 19,000 and was told to take it to a checking store and Western Union him the difference. Of course I take the check to the bank and wait for it to clear. As soon as I told him I did that...He started to SH!T his pants, and I couldn't understand why. About a week later, I go to the bank only to find out they froze my savings account, because the check was COUNTERFIT. So I had to go to the police station, and now tomorrow I have to go to the FBI building and explain to them whats going on. Hopefully, we get this guy and stop him and other A$$HOLES like him trying to scam good people.
-Has this happened to anyone else on here?-

I can't believe you'd think it wasn't a scam.

In retrospect, it was all downhill from here. RIP, CEG.

Ok, here's the deal.
If ANYONE sends you snailmail or e-mail on doing ANY type of business or exchange involving overseas entities (especially in Europe or Africa), it's a scam. PERIOD.
This crap has been going on for over 20 years now.
Furthermore, if it sounds too good to be true, it ALMOST ALWAYS is.
