No, they don't want your {censored}. It's all a scam to steal money from you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Sixtonoize Posted September 6, 2008 Members Share Posted September 6, 2008 They "accidentally" have their "bank" make a check out for the wrong amount, and expect you to refund the difference IMMEDIATELY. For example, $4000 instead of $400. The idea being that people are stupid enough to send out the difference before your bank can find out that it's a forged check. So, you send them $3600 and a week later your bank says that the check didn't clear, so you're out $4 grand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
