This time you are the seller and he is the buyer, a person you don't know personally. All transaction to sell an item is done in internet without seeing or knowing him more because of the rush to dispose an item you no longer need. He is very interested to buy. He seen your ads in the net and intend to buy it more than its original value. Your communication with him were completed in an e-mail sealing the transaction to finality.
You asked him why buy the item more than its price. He told you that such an amount is to be used by you in shipping the item because there will be an international fees involve in shipping the item to him.
He sent you a money order indicating the amount you agreed. You did not give much thought of suspicion because the check is very real in your eyes. After you receive the payment, you deposited it to the bank. You paid the shipping fee using your own money.
The next day, you withdraw the amount of your deposit because it is your money now from the sale of the item. But after several weeks of rest, you realize that something went wrong when the bank informed you about the authenticity of the check. They told you that the check is fake and they are demanding you to pay back the total amount they give you. What they did is to deduct it to your savings in the bank as sort of reimbursement. It become your problem now especially the item were already shipped.
Scam artist are very professional in forgery. They were very expert to this field with excellent craftsmanship.
