Ripoff alert from 563-275-3174

Post by evm1024 »

(Hey mods, remove this is needs be)

I got an offer for some turbo wheels the other day. Teh guy texted me from 1-563-275-3174 and then sent me a check. A number of things did not add up so I was going to wait for the check to get fully processed (my bank says 10 working days).

The dude was pumping me for my banking info and then demanding that I send his money back.

Turns out the the check was bogus and the dude was a ripoff artist.

SO....

thats very similar to "the over payment" scam.
even after the check is cleared it can come back as fraud and your on the hook to your bank.
