Complaint 162212 Details

I WAS CONTACTED BY AN INDIVUAL (CONTACT ID WAS (Personal Information Removed) ) AT FIRST FOR PURCHASING A MAGAZINE I HAD LISTED ON AN AUCTION WEBSITE. THEY SENT ME A CHECK DRAWN ON M&T BANK IN D.C. MAILED FROM AN INDIVIDUAL IN DAKOTA. I PROCEEDED TO GET EVERYTHING READY TO SHIP EXPECTING TO USE THE MONEY FOR THE COST OF SHIPPING. I THOUGHT THE CHECK WOULD CLEAR AND SO I THOUGHT I SHOULD JUST WAIT. WELL I KEPT GETTING EMAILS SAYING THE CHECK IS GOING TO CLEAR AND WHAT HAS HAPPENDED TO THEIR MONEY. PLEASE SEND THE REMAINDER OF THE MONEY WESTERN UNION. I DIDN'T WAIT FOR THE CHECK TO CLEAR. I HAVE BEEN IN COMMUNICATION WITH THE PARTIES UNTIL LAST WEEK WHEN ALL COMMUNICATION CEASED. THE LAST EMAILS REFERRED TO A CASHIER'S CHECK THEY WERE SENDING AND THEY EVEN APOLOGIZED THAT THE CHECK DIDN'T CLEAR. I SENT THEM MY LAST EMAIL STATING I AM STILL WAITING. THAT WAS THE LAST TIME THERE WAS ANY COMMUNICATION WITH THE PARTY -(Personal Information Removed)
