Just an update on my scam. This guy is surprisingly resilient. Here is what I received this morning.
Hello, Waiting to read from you so that we can proceed with the transaction kindly get back to me with the name and address with your phone number to mail out your payment hope i can trust you with the money and you be available for the pick up. Thanks. OEM PS~Someone needs to take that poor soul off the e-mail list. Anytime they use the CAPS for a whole e-mail, they obviously mean business! Thank You, Randy S.

Caterpillar: Confidential Green Retain Until: 12/07/2007 I could not agree with you more. Banks and Insurance Companies [ sorry Alex ] seem to have everything weighed in their favor. However, I would deposit the check and hold the shipment until the bank released the funds and stated in writing that all was good. -------------- Original message -------------- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sorry here, but just a rant on the following, I think its crappy of the bank to do this to people, it looks real to you, it looks real to the bank, so you send your stuff away, then the bank burns you in the end. They are supposed to be the experts- they somehow figure it out over some time- why couldn't they do what ever they "do later" right while you are standing there- electronically or something-- sorry again, I just think it kinda sucks.

I know of cases where the bank verified the check, the money cleared, and then weeks later the bank found out it was a forgery. They then took back all the money from the person's account. They were out the item and had problems when their account ran dry and checks started bouncing. ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com
