I recently placed an add on craigslist with a four wheeler for sale and i got an email from a guy that said he would pay with a check and ask for my address and with a laps in judgement i did provide my mailing address and he sent me a tracing number via usps priority mail with delivery conformation..well i sent him an e-mail telling him the 4 wheeler was already sold and he ask me to cash the check anyway..Shows the check will be delivered tomorrow the 22nd...I have been poking fun with him telling him i am going to take the check to the FBI or Local law enforcement,I ask him if he wanted me to send the check back to him or the Atlanta fbi field office ..It was mailed from Merietta Ga..And he still insists it's not a scam...So funny

Hi Tjude, Welcome to 419eater. If this scammer has your real life details it would be best to drop all contact with him.

Safe baiting.
Always 'Bait Safely'.
As for the check you can mark it FAKE and frame it and show it to your friends and family to educate them about internet fraud.

Please stick around and read the Stickys, Visit Eater University. Sign up for the Cherrie Mentor Program. Most of all have fun. Very Happy
