Tell him you will send the overage and mail the item when the check clears, one year is the amount of time needed

>Harry, That is a scam. Tell him you will sell it to him "in person" only. Or I'll buy it. My helper will draft you a check from my account in Nigeria. Take your pick on which rat you want to deal with.

>>Well I think I've just gotten my first scam.
>>I put an AM/FM stereo radio for a '68 T-bird on Craig's list, and a chap wants to buy it, but he's going to London on holiday and will send me the $50 asking price PLUS $20 for the delay.
>> I smell a rat.
>>Today, I get an e-mail from this guy who says his 'assistant' sent me  the wrong amount, and I should still cash the certified check and wire him the balance error.
>>Right.
>>Obviously this is a fraud, but what do you do? Just throw the check away and forget the whole thing? Anybody been in this situation, and what did YOU do?
>>
>>Oh, anybody want a factory AM/FM stereo radio for a '68-70 T-bird?
