Scam From Tim Johnson

Here is the email he sent me.



Hello,

Just want to know if you still have the named above item for sale.

If yes I will be in need of the following informations below:
Firstly, the pics of the item if available I want you to have it sent to my email box.
Secondly,I want you to tell me little about the present conditions of the item named above.
Lastly, the last price and if it is negotiable.
Moreso I will want you to tell me if you can accept US International Money Order/United Postal Money Order as your payment and once it clears you can release your item?
I want you to make sure that the price given does not include the shippment charges owing to the transportation shipping agent company that I have a contract with, they will come and pick the merchandise up once the US International MoneyOrder/United Postal Money Order clears your bank.
The reason for the pick up is owing to international shippment as the item will be picked and shipped to Australia.I will be leaving US for Australia in a month's time. If you are interested in selling to me kindly get back to me on time as I have some other important things to handle so I am awaiting your early response.

Tim Johnson
141 MOURNING DOVE STREET,
GREYBULL, WYOMING 82426.

Re: Scam From Tim Johnson

This happend to me in january. Had i guy email me telling me he wanted to buy some tires I had for sale and have them shipped to austrailia. He told me not to worry about shipping, that he had a company to take care of it. About 3 weeks later I get a cashiers check in the mail for the amount of $3500.00. I was a little shocked when the item i sold him was only sold for $200.00. Well he wanted me to wire the remaining $3300.00 to his "shipper" in NIGERIA! That is when the red flag REALLY went up. So......I told him that i wanted out of this deal and that I would send his money BACK to him. Well a few days earlier I depositied HIS cashiers check into my bank account ($3500.00). So i called my bank and they told me that the check had cleared the bank I was good to go. SO, i go down to my local branch and have a cashiers check made out for $3500.00 to send back to this guy. Same day i go down to FedEx and send the check to the address he gave me. OK so all of this money transfering and mailing happened on tuesday afternoon. Wednesday morning my bank calls me back and tells me that during the check routing process, the original cashiers check i received from this guy and deposited at the bank is counterfeit! SOOO I rush down to the bank to try and put a stop payment on the check I had just sent him! It looks like i did it in time, but i wont know sure for another month. HOPEFULLY it worked, otherwise im $3500.00 out of pocket! Just becareful everyone!

Re: Scam From Tim Johnson

Got 2 emails from him today from posting in the "for sale" section last night. Replied with a very nasty email stating -

Do you think I fell off the turnip truck yesterday? Put down the crack pipe and stop trying to run scams on honest, hard working Americans. I will find out who you really are and turn you into the Postal Inspector and computer crimes task force in Sacramento.

Anyone going hunting in Wyoming soon?

Re: Scam From Tim Johnson

Same here on my For Sale stuff. If I was still working in Gillette, WY, I would take a trip to Greybull and see who was there. Someone said that the address in Greybull is actually an abandoned bowling alley. I sent him a reply to F----off.

Re: Scam From Tim Johnson

This clown must go right down thru all the for sale sections and email the same garbage to everyone.
Got the same one too!

Re: Scam From Tim Johnson

The other guy to watch out for is John Donovan....same scam tried to buy my truck....this scam is so old. We just need to keep posting the names of the people that are pujlling this crap and they will eventually go away.

PS John D if you are reading this you missed out on a sweet truck. I hope you enjoy your time in jail for fraud.
