I'm not really sure the logistics of it. I think they send you a check for too much, ask you to give the overage to the "mover" and they get the $$ and the item? My guy only offered $50 over and the item was inexpensive ($100), so he wouldn't have gotten much. He did say after I cashed the cashier's check, so I presume the check is fake, and the bank comes back to me for the money. Anyhow, as I said the amount was inconsequential. I'd rather donate the item to charity than get ripped off by some con-man.

It's too late. You think the crook will accompany you to the bank? Cash only. And if it's a lot, do it at the police station.

Just pointing out the scam on TOTV only alerts those of us who read the post. Actually doing something about it would help everyone in The Villages trying to sell items. |

Sorry TOTV, but do not trust this place for items. Most people are good, but no one is vetted so there are always scammers. be safe.

I think I have said before this a very common scam unless you are in a closed group. I often sell items for my clients and I have potential buyers contact me. There was a close call once when a client almost went for the scam they were excited about getting more money than was asked. I said why would someone want to pay more without even seeing the item; then in clicked. My rules for my clients is cash only sales and I have to talk to person. You have to ask yourself does this make sense and trust your instincts.

You have to be a registered user on TOTV to contact a seller.
We do not recommend putting your contact info in the body of the ad, but use only the contact fields. If you do this then ONLY registered users on the site can contact you. If you put an email or phone number in the body of any ad on any site then it is exposed to anyone to contact you. Regards, TOTV Team |
