Hey Guys,
I have been talking to a guy for a week about my boat for sale. He is meeting me at storage Friday in Needles. He texts me today and says he is at the bank and what my last name is. I tell him I dont take Cashiers checks if that's what he is doing, and we have been going back and forth the last three hours.
I then agree Ill take a cashier check if we can go to his bank in Bullhead and confirm and cash check in person. He tells me he uses Bank of West, Bank of Sierra and that he is giving me three checks due to "IRS". All Non local banks.
I tell him no-go. We cant confirm these banks in person in Havasu or Bullhead. He then tells me he would not carry that much cash on the road and wants a record of the transaction. I told him why 3 checks then?
We have spoken about boats for an hour before hand and he doesnt sound like a tweaker, but we all know how that goes. I have read the stories on here and I dont think this one is worth the risk. It might be all on the up and up, but so much risk on my part.
How else can we do this deal? The guys lives in Bakersfield. I love in OC> We meeting at the boat in Needles. What say the inmates? Am I being paranoid? If this was an RDP member, I would be alot more lenient, but he came from my Craigslist Ad.
