I listed a part and after a couple of communications, I received this comment "fine and I will have my mover agent organize a pick up from your location after you have received payment".Looked the name up up and apparently he is not an NCRS member. Therefore I assume the check will bounce after the part is gone. Be aware !!!!!!!

Re: Beware of Scam selling parts via NCRS Classisied
Thanks for the heads-up Jimmy! The other suspicious thing is the wording "my mover agent" ... sounds like something an NCRS member would not normally say ... Had similar experiences in selling a used daily driver car with the response "I'm on an oil rig platform and will have my agent sent to pick up the car after you receive payment". The kicker was I had to send $200 in advance for the agent's travel expense, which would be reimbursed in the car payment check ...

Mark, agree! Fortunately, I never sent the money, as I suspected scam, but did give me pause as I thought what if it is legit?Bill Bertelli

Re: Beware of Scam selling parts via NCRS Classisied
A father Jeremy from the UK was so excited when my son James was selling his 77 Cutlass about 17 years ago. The kids in England will love this big American car. He sent us a check for almost 2x the money. We were to pay the shipper out of the check and keep the rest for the car. We turned the check over to a bank officer who had it looked at by the FBI. The check was an almost perfect fraud and would have been cashed and cleared by the bank. But 4 or 5 months later woul have been stuck with repaying the bank.Comment
