Are you blind?

Raise your hands here, how many people have actually looked around on CL and seen ads that use STOCK PHOTOS like on Autotrader and eBay? I have, and this is probably another case of it.

Its a fake check that your bank will cash. Then once you give the money to the "shipper", they flee. After a couple of days the bank will realize that its fake, and come after you for the money. And if you already shipped the stuff, then you get fucked twice.

Oh ok so they really send a check but when that check bounces and you have already gave them the stuff is where the **** hits the fan? Well I haven't sent them anything and I haven't received anything. I'm just worried that I already gave this dude my name and address I don't want him to like try to use my name or try to anthrax me or some ****.
