I'm trying to sell my brother's car on craigslist. Within an hour of posting it, I get an e-mail from a guy asking if we still have the car; tell him yes and give him a brief description along with times I'm available to show it to him. He responds with:
"Sounds good, i am very interested in purchasing it, and the easiest way for me to pay is through Electronic Cashier's Check which is (E-Check) e-check which will be drawn from my Bank. there is no problem for me waiting for the E-Check to go through at your bank. Here is what you need to get the check done: You will probably need to buy versa Business Check Paper, at any store below in your area,
(1) Shopping Mall
(2) Stationery Store
(3) Office Depot
(4)Office max
For $20. I will add the cost of the paper to your asking price. Once you purchase the versa business check paper. I will email you the check and you will have it printed, then you will have to proceed to your bank and get it deposited. I will wait for your bank to verify that the check clear before we proceed with shipment. As my Bank Operator informed me that the check will clear at your bank immediately. Which is Confirms to All American Banking Association rules and standards this is to stop C.O.D.
Let me know if this helps
Thanks."
What do you guys think? Scam? I already e-mailed him back saying no E-checks, but figured I'd get some opinions; anyone ever done this with another buyer?
