Fake check scam
I used the application “wallapop” to sale a trolling motor for boats for $200.00.
I put on sale on December 21th 2015. Immediately a person supposedly named Jason Strokes. The conversation in wallapop is as follows: “Jason:
I’ll take it
What’s the final price you want to sell this and hope it’s available…
Me: It’s available. I can leave it for $200
Jason: I will pay for it with a cashier check, so give me your full details to issue the payment.
Full Name….
Street Address ……………
City, State, Zip Code ………..
Phone Number ……..
Final Price…..
So you will receive the payment and once you receive the payment and get it cashed and you will help with the shipping.write me at {[email protected]} with the details
Me: Why cashiers check? Because if you pay with this I cannot give you the product until the check is cleared.
Just by curiosity where is the delivery add (approximately, don’t have to give me your exact add)
Sorry for being careful, but is the first time I use this kind of sale and a lot of stories we read every day. I Bocan write for you a bill of sale and the box has a packing list where I delete my address. But if you are still interested I can think again about the cashier check.
I double read your message and saw I can cash the check before the delivery Info XXXXXX XXXXX at XXXXXXXXXXXX
Cell: xxx-xxx-xxxx.
Final price: $200
Jason: Do send the details to my email box
After this, Jason sent me the following email:
“Hello,

payment will be deliver to you via USPS courier service, so you

And I receive a weird check for the amount of $1400.00.
