Just wondering

When you cash the check and then send them the remaining money the check bounces a month later and you have just sent them $4500 of your money when their check was no good. BEWARE DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT DOING THIS

Sounds like a Scam.

I dunno who he is, but i would be cautios about anyone who "Accidentally" sends me a check for 5000 and and trusted me to send the other 4,500 to his buddy in the UK.

tell him to send a Money order for 500 or go to hell.

IT IS A SCAM! I played one out all the way to receiving the check. One look at it told me it was not authentic. I wrote the guy an email and told him that I was FBI and that I was on his trail! Never heard from him again.

Last month I got a full price offer on day 1 of the ad. He wanted my account information for an international wire transfer. When I balked, he wanted me to send the unit to a friend in another state. He then said his wife had a friend in the same city near where I live. The whole thing was fishy from the beginning. Turns out, he had just become a member here 1 week earlier and had no feedback. The tone of his emails was suspect from the get-go. I then got yet another offer from yet another new member with no feedback for yet another international wire transfer in yet another country, explaining how safe this transaction is. I removed the item from sale and will put it up later this year. I have never had a bad deal here, but again... the tone of his email correspondence was not that of a fellow Audiogon member.

I would play along long enough to get the address of the wire transfer address in the UK and report it to Scotland Yard. Send the addressee one dollar.
