I had a guy come here once when I was selling tractor tire chains...he wanted to give me a check..I refused...it was a weekday..told him to go to the bank and come back..he told me he was a sherriff...I didn't believe him...called my brother in law(state trooper)..he really was a sherriff !! He had long scurfy hair..he was just an oddball...but you never can tell!
I did learn an excellent tip...when someone comes to your house...go out and immediately take a pic of their licence plate and send it to anyone..if they have bad intentions, it scares the heck out of them..I had 1 guy get back in his car and just peel out of here! It's a scary world..we need to be prepared!

I had the same thing happen to me a few years ago and I knew that their offering double the asking price had to be a scam. Text them back and told them not to contact me again. Solved that issue. The problem is some people don't realize that it is a scam.

I checked groceries for a major chain for a long time and we were never allowed to take postal money orders as we were told there was lots of fraud in them I do no use or go to craigs list as I have heard many complaints on them

I only sell locally. The buyer must meet me in a public location and have CASH with them. I haven't sold anything as large as a sewing machine, but that's how I would sell one if I had one to sell. If I had anything like jewelry to sell, the sale would take place inside a police station...no joke. People are doing that.
