Gerald Thoms, Cynthia Robert, Robert Scott Fraud car sale, western union, cashiers check, state bank Ripoff THAMEMEAD LONDON United Kingdom
I was contacted regarding a car i had for sale by a person posing as a used car broker. The asking price for the vehicle was $500 he informed me that he has a customer who had a vehcile like this when they were younger and they had an accident which left them in a wheel chair. He then sent a cashiers check for $2000 via FedEx (which took allmost 3 weeks to come, it should have only been 2-3 business days) and said that the $1500 shouild be forwarded to him the day i recieved the check via western union as his commisssion(i have been told to not use western union unless you know the person). I said i would wait until it cleared, it didnt but now the bank is charging me $130 because the exchange rate has gone down.(which i cant blame them for their not going to take the hit so im liable for it)

I know this is a fraud, that is why I posted it. And as I stated I waited until the check cleared (or in this case didnt) The bank is making me pay the difference from when I deposited the check and when it cleard because the US->Canada rate went down

The check won't clear. This is an old scam that has been going on for years. I hope you didn't send him any money.... If you did, you are out $1500.00, and the bank will come after you for it.
