    we actually recieved a 5000.00 cheque from one of these guys. It looked and appeared to be a real cheque, drawn on a bank from Texas. ( I'm from Alberta).

    I had some wheels for sale on nitroland. The deal is, the scam got off track with us..... they never contacted us before they sent the cheque.

    So this cheque arrives and I take it to my bank and tell them I suspect it. They opened up a diffrent account fo rme, and deposited it. After the standard one week waiting period for out-of-country cheques, the cheque was still clear. 2 weeks later, the cheque was returned to my bank as fraudulant. ( glad we never touched that money)

    We reported it to the cops. They said 2 things happen with this scam. 1/ people cash the cheques, and send the goods .. only to find out later that they've been hooped. 2/ the processed cheque goes to somebody - somewhere with some of your banking information stamped on it by your teller.


    Nice huh.

    pruett can you blame the guy for not coming to meet you? they probably aren't used to seeing little sawed-off midgets running around in the land down under. that poor aussie was scared you might beat the hell outta his knee caps!

    leave it to an okie from paul's valley to hit a guy below the belt (even if that is all the higher you can reach)

    I read an alert on Racing junk about a similiar scam, apparantly this "racer"? sent Paul Cattoni a cheque for $5000 for a $2000 part, then claimed he would require the part sent and the extra money mailed back to him!!!???, can you believe how stupid these people are?, still, I guess if they can swindle just one poor sap, they make out pretty well.

    I am from Canada guys, and love the site, so, if I say I am gonna send money for something, I will, LOL
