Still no word from Administrators on TOTV regarding the info I provided them. The user's name, email address etc. I was contact through TOTV with their logo etc. So I would think they would at least check into it.

I'm surprised that the Administrators aren't replying to me on this.

Hello???? Anyone Home????

Do not do it! It is a scam! they will send the money then have it picked up. you will not find out the money order or check is no good until it is to late, the item will be picked up already.

I have never had anyone contact me from TOTV with an offer higher than requested. That happens all the time from Craiglist and often with the online news classifieds. I get rid of them for the most part by just repeating cash and local pick up only. That gets rid of most of the scammers. I also trust my gut when it comes to meeting a prospective purchaser. There have only been 2 cases where I brought the item to our house to show it because I had doubts. Once people see my Dad if they were tempted to do anything they would think twice.

We need the user name of the user who contacted you.

This happened to me a while back. I sent an email to the person who sent the email and told them I was turning it over to the police. I have not heard from them since. I also contacted the moderator for talk of the villages and they checked and said they have no person that email registered on the site and if it happens again let them know. Scam for sure.

Thoughts?

Definitely a scam

Have definitely had that happen to us! We were selling a pet bird. Same thing...send you more then youre asking, UPS would do the pick up. Reminded them this was a live animal. This was a bit strange to be shipping a live animal to California (our buyer), so we opted out. Way too sketchy for us.

How did you get my password?
