Sellers that sold items to (letsdeal1234) beware as they are a Scammer! They will send you a check via UPS and wants you to ship items to Republic of Benin and wants you to cash it and send the excess funds to EDWARD MURPHY 112/B Churchill Place, London, United Kingdom, E14 5HP

This is nothing but a SCAM! Do not send any items or any money! If you haven't got it from UPS yet! REFUSE DELIVERY ON IT! If you got it already turn it in to the law!

ya this guy tried to buy a bike from me about 3 weeks ago and wanted to pay by check but he had a 0
feedback rating which i do not except checks from buyers with less then 10 feedback.

emailed him and informed him of this. he did not want to pay any other way but by check even after i told
him i would except a money order or a cashiers check refused again guess he was going to try the
samething with me but i stuck to my polices and he gave up. i guess with the econemy the way it is this is
going to happen alot more now

Threw the years we have got alot of bad money orders and cashier checks (that"s what he was paying with) We have over $27k of them sitting on the shelf here from the last 4 years! Bad PO money orders, bad bank money orders ect! We treat money orders and cashier checks just like a personal check! First we call the issuring bank and check it out, then if that is ok there we deposit it and wait 10 days ot till it clears our bank before we ship! We won't except NO money orders or cashier checks from Canada Just Paypal ,as the banks hole them till they clear and can take 10 days to 30 days to clear depending what size they are! I asked them why! They said it's the rules now and something to do with homeland security!

MO, what do you look for in a fake please, someone tell me? :) Good advise from both Ace

wish i know but its alot harder to conterfit a money order but anything is possible well i would never ship an
item until the money clears the bank but what i feel that is wrong is the banks charge you if the check
bounces. so thats why i only except checks from buyers that have a feedback 10 and above all positive.

Lana it is hard to tell! They all look real! Best to call on each one! We do! We have a couple from US Bank and they are bad! We sent them to the bank and they couldn't believe how good they were! It even fooled them he said to start with!
