Just to add a little extra to this suspicious number, My wife had a [***] tail table for sale online, This guy with "no name" had set up an delivery and sent a check to me in the amount of $1,699.00 for the table that was only $165.00 asking price. He had sent specific instructions requesting that we cash the check and take the money for the table out plus $50.00 extra for our services,"Sounds very generous" and then send the rest to a western union account. When I received the check, not only was this a $1,699.00 made out to me but it was from a California auction company that handles heavy machinery. Along with that there was a bank name with address along with a phone number, I simply called the bank first to verify Who, What,When,Where. Surprise!!! Surprise!!! the banks number was a cell phone with no answer. Then this guy has the audacity to call me to ask if I had received it and to make sure to cash this check immediately. I had told him that I did receive that check and he needs to send another just to see if he would. Today he has responded via email that he will get the FBI involved if I don't follow his directions."FUNNY"!!!!
