Hey everyone,
So lately money has been pretty tight for me, I lost my job a few months ago and have been trying to uber full time to keep up payments, but its been an uphill road. Recently I posted on Craigslist attempting to sell my Switch and XboxOne, and made a deal with someone where they claimed they'd be sending me a check in the mail...
So when UPS showed up with an envelope I wasn't surprised. However, this check is written by the Harama Entertainment Corp, for $1,550. I was only selling the consoles for $450 total. Does anyone have any idea where this could have come from? Does anyone have an idea where this could have come from? Is it safe to deposit? The check had no context attached to it, just the oversized UPS express envelope. This seems a little too good to be true...
UPDATE: /u/SirGlass hit it right on the money, the buyer wants me to "hold" the cash until his "shipper" can pick up the Switch and the extra money in the check. I'm shredding the check and relisting my consoles asking for cash only next time. I really was trying to talk myself into thinking this could be my debt relief, but this is clearly a scam. Thanks to everyone for keeping me sane.
