I hope i could trust you with the charges fee of the shipper. I will be looking forward to read from you again. Thanks, Dr.Bryan.
I got one like that before, and I forwarded it to the webmaster. definitely scam, don't go through with it
red flags: agrees to buy sight unseen pays by money order/cashiers check overpays and requests you refund the difference either to them or to a third party signs "Dr. Bryan", but can barely spell, use punctuation correctly, or compose a grammatically correct sentence
I knew it was a scam as soon as I read it. I would never cash a cashier check and then send someone money. I have heard about this. You cash the check and then when the bank finds out it is a fake you are responsible for paying back the whole amount. I just wanted to put it out there for others to see so no one would fall for it.
That is what I thought when I read it. If you are going to pretend to be a doctor, you could at least write the email with correct grammar and spelling so you sound reasonably intelligent.
