A TRAP THAT NO ONE SHOULD FALL FOR......
Below are two emails I recently received from the UK in an attempt to scam me out of $2500. This has been tried in the past and was on the local news
for the purchase of a car. It worked. Just wanted you to be aware of scams
involving checks that are for much more than the selling price of the item you are selling and wiring the overpayment to the scammer.
