Well I dont post much on here and I dont know any of yall but wanted to let yall know that there is a theif roaming the boat market.
I sold my 89 commander i thought about a week ago to a gentlemen in europe. He had a client who wanted it and through many emails and a phone conversation he was to send me a check for 17k I was to keep 10k and send the shipping company the remainer to come pick it up. He lived in london and sent me the ck via fed ex. When I got the ck it was dated 1 day before he sent it from a bank in florida. When I went to deposite it the bank said it wasnt worth the paper it was printed on. It had international rouing # and a us uncomplete account #. He must of thought I was going to forward the money before funds cleared.
Good thing I didnt send off the boat.

my thoughts exactly, unless you've been in the furthest reaches of the universe, this is a well known scam, right up there with the 419 scam (the old "your relative died, send me money" scam)
Some guy who said he was in the UK tried to pull this on me about a month ago. Very common.
It happened to me twice in one week.

The only reason I know about it is from the boards, he made it clear in the begining of his post that he doesn't post here much and just wanted to give members a heads up, is it really necessary to insult the guy when he's just trying to help out fellow boaters?

Well I dont deal with common scammers so I dont know the "COMMON" scams out there so if you are trying to add insult to injury this is not the place for it. I respect replys of a helpful nature.
Glad you come out ok on this. I, for one, had never heard of this kinda thing.

Why, yes it is.
If someone came on here to warn you about the plague would you take him seriously?
