Thanks for returning my message. I'm currently not in town for now, so I won't be able to meet with you due to my work frame and also we are very busy at this time preparing for our daughter's wedding but I'm okay with the price and condition as shown on the advert. I'll proceed in issuing a cashier's check to you and when you receive the payment and it clears your bank, I will make arrangements for the pick up. I will also add an additional $50 to hold it down for me. So get back to me with the details below to mail the check out to you asap..

Name to be on the payment ...........
Address to mail the check to ........
City, state and Zip code ............NOT P.O BOX
Final Asking price...................
Phone number to text you on ..

what's the jig here? pfishing for contact info? check's gonna bounce?

I subscribe to Lex Fridman podcast on YouTube. One of his guests in March was Brett Johnson. Major cyber scammer. Very interesting story of his life from a young age and how he started down the path to committing fraud. He goes into detail on how he made money using fake cashiers checks to pay for EBay purchases.
