I had posted my Wilson Hopper for sale and was notified via email by a Stacie Morgan. She/He wanted to know my bottom dollar price. Offered to send me a cashiers check and pick up equipment when check clears the bank. I'm not stupid enough to fall for a scam and hope you are not either. Please don't get suckered in. I did call and verify that this account doesn't exist and has an address that these folks say people are using their address and they are no way involved with buying anything.

I sold a trailer recently and I told the guy cash or wire transfer. He sent a wire and it took about two minutes. I sent it to the account I give to people and immediately transferred it to a different account. I wouldn't take a check from the Pope.

Not when the account number at the bottom is a fake account number that doesn't exist.

Thanks for the message. I have not encountered anything like this yet, but I've heard a lot of stories. Everyone, please verify the details carefully. use only secure payment modes. Most importantly, Make a note of these scammers when you hear something like this. Though they may not approach us with the same name. Their method will be similar.
