Yep.. I fell for this one.. but only a little.. it was the one where you deposit their check then send them a wire transfer after depositing the check.

I suspected fraud right from the beginning.. but was curious .. I mean $6,000 has to make anyone a little curious.. and one other thing.. they responded to an ad I posted selling some stereo equipment, offering me $6,000 for something I was asking $2,500 for and explained the rest was for the shipper that I was to pay when they came to pick up the speakers. It alsmost seemed legit the way they explained it. So what I did was I told them to go ahead and send me the check.. they sent me one... I took it to the bank.. and they almost let me deposit it.. but then I asked them to investigate it and sure enough it was bogus.

The thing that made this so believeable was my ad for the speakers.. so when they responded, I didn't think much of it as I'd had many responses already.

I don't mind admiting I almost got taken by this scam.. I gotta admit it's a pretty good one : /
