[V8] Scam Purchase

[Michael Thomas]

I recently received a similar request from "Ken Steven" for my '93 V8 and had a similar one from my sale of an Alfa Romeo listed on a club page for the NW Alfa club almost a year ago. So apparently these people look at our car classifieds and hit quite a few people.
 
The fake check gets cashed (bank tellers can't tell it's fake because it is so good a forgery) and then the owner uses Western Union to send the money. So when the bank comes back and takes your money from your account your out the money and you can't go to Western Union and get your money back from them because it was cash. You don't loose your car though since they never show up (or they would get caught).
 
You would think everyone would be smarter than that. Obviously we're not or they wouldn't keep doing this.
