Fraud Alert
I posted an ad last week selling a used Progressive quartz flash. I was e-mailed by one JOHN SMITH (go figure) that he wanted the unit and told me it was sold for the $2500.00 asking price (this should have been a tip off he was paying the asking price). Well the check came today UPS Red Label. It was sent by a company: TEXAS TRUCK at 1905 PEACHTREE ROAD, MESQUITE TEXAS. The check was for $6000.00. I was to keep my invoice amount plus a $100.00 for my trouble and Western Union the remaining $3400.00 to the following:
Name:Chung Lee
Address : 300 Bath Street,
Glasgow, G2 4DX
Country: United Kingdom
The plan was for me to deposit the bogus $6k and take my $3400 out my account and Western Union the SNAKE my hard earned dough.
The bogus Check was on nice paper from a Pennsylvania Federal Credit Union.
The flash is really nice and still for sale and I will entertain offers.
