This scammer will indicate interest in renting your property but wants to send a cheque for more than the rental rate. He requests that the advertiser cashes or deposits the cheque, sending the excess to a third party, often a supposed shipping company.
The "shipping company" or other third party is either the same scammer or his accomplice.
Do not cash or deposit any cheques from this thief!
You will definitely lose your money and may be charged with financial fraud.
If you are at all unsure about a cheque or money order that you have received, you should take it to your bank or local police and tell them you think it may be from a scammer.
