Hi,
Thanks for the urgent response,i am interested in the Immediate
purchase of this item and i am comfortable with the price you have
placed on it, i will be making the payment via Money order and i will
get my shipper to come for the pick up once you cash out the money
order because i don't want you to stress your self about the shipping.
Kindly get back to me with the information below.

Once you get back to me with this information, i will mail out the
payment without any delay and we can finalize this transaction in a
timely manner.
This scammer will indicate interest in buying your item but wants to send a cheque/money order for more than the asking price. 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.
