| Thats how it works! My mate was selling a microlite and some bloke from overseas emailed hm and rang him about it. he appeared to know what he was talking about as well. Anyhow they didnt do a deal but a week or so later a cheque turned up drawn on some obscure african bank. My mate wasnt going to sell but he banked it anyhow just to see what happened. His UK bank told him it had cleared but a couple of weeks later they told him it has bounced, the bank it was drawn on didnt exist but it had passed through the UK clearing system with no problems.
Another mate lost two jet skis when someone paid for them with a stolen building society cheque. |
