Type his name and town into the FB and it pulls up a page of a guy that recently sold a lawn mower, tiller, and car. Makes you wonder if he is making a career out of fraud......

A guy scammed my brother in law out of his 65ish camaro. My brother in law usually is on high alert when it comes to stuff like this but let his guard down. Anyhow the car was found in Houston and still in prefect condition. Luckily the con artist sold it to an honest man.
Wow that is crazy ole brother in law got lucky. That car could have been shipped out of the country and never seen again.

Yeah you have to be careful. What they do is they will set up a time like right before the bank closes. Then call you and say they are running late. That away you can’t really verify check. Brother in should said get you a hotel room and we will see you in the morning.

I am super suspicous when someone brings a casheir's check or bank check prior to looking at the boat. It doesn't make sense as it doesn't allow them to negotiate the price down at all. You have to be willing to hold your ground and not accept checks. It is easier to do if you make the decision on what you will and will not accept prior to listing the boat.
I got burned four decades ago selling a used HO scale train set for a personal check when I was in the 5th grade. It was probably the best $50 business lesson I have ever received. If is isn't US cash, I don't trust it.
