I had a low riser dual quad set-up on e-bay just last week abd some creep did the same thing to me. He ended the auction with the "buy it now" and sent me a cashiers check via UPS overnight. Included in the envelope with the check was instructions on where to wire the "excess funds" that were supposed to pay shipping. He sent a check (that was fake, obviously) for $3900 to pay for a $1200 purchase - expecting me to just blindly wire him $1700.00 like it's not big deal. He really tried to pressure me too. When I told him he would have to wait 10 days he kept on sending me sob story e-mails every day for 3 or 4 days. Of course, all I did was shred the fake check and re-list the intake. Tried to rip him in a negative feedback but he had already cancelled that e-bay name.

Jerks..... we were counting on that sale for Christmas funds and there he was trying to rip me off....
