Re: [DML] For sale owners, "Beware"

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

It does not matter what this guy's name is. This is becoming more and
more common. It is easy to forge what could pass for a bank check
nowadays with a personal computer and a laser printer. You CANNOT
accept a bank check, certified check, or cashier's check without
verifacation. Become suspicious when it is for more than the actual
transaction. DO NOT ACCEPT ANYTHING BUT CASH ON A WEEKEND!!!!! They
will try to force you to make the sale quick on a weekend when you
cannot call anyone to verify the funds. The police are no help, they
have their hands full with violent crimes, this is just an annoyance
to them. Insist on ONLY the EXACT amount and it MUST have YOUR NAME on
it. Just for insurance get their driver's license and car license
plate (a picture of them would be nice) just in case you do have to
call the police. The worst part of this is that your bank will give
you the cash on a forged bank check but when they find out it is bad
they are going to deduct it from YOUR account. Now you are out the car
AND the money. By the time you catch up to them they will have resold
the car again. If you can prove it was an illegal sale you may be able
to get the DMV to give you your car back but it will be a monumental
hassle.
