"my husband wants you to email him the price of your item."

I had a dude pull the "mail me the item and I'll send you a certified cheque" scam - Reagen Dec 18, 08:02
Yeah, me too. It does get old, but now it seems there's all kinds of games played to get personal info and lowball offers. -- nm - budice Dec 18, 08:02 4
- Lowballers are hilarious. "I've got (half the asking price) CASH IN HAND! Can come now!" Sorry chief, I only accept silver bullion. - Shaun Dec 18, 08:09 2
  - charlie had a dude show up once with $40 less than agreed upon. he thought charlie would be like, "oh that's fine." charlie sent him to the ATM. -- nm - amanda jones state university Dec 18, 08:16
  - But the cash is crisp new $20 bills! -- nm - Strongbad Dec 18, 08:11
- I also meet at a Starbucks or a place nearby, never giving out my address or real number. Have a Google Voice number people can call or text. -- nm - budice Dec 18, 08:05
"when will you be home alone so I can come get yo...it" -- nm - Beaker Dec 18, 08:01
