Default No doubt about it

When they won't come and look at it... it is usually a scam. I agree with codeman671, never give out your phone number. I like to use a non-essential email address that I can disable if I need to.

Some years ago, a friend was selling a very large boat. He received a "cashiers check" from the buyer who claimed to be out of the country. My friend thought the check looked funny so brought it to his bank. They said it was fraudulent. Fortunately, he had not shipped the boat.

A few years later he saw an ad for this same boat for sale by some entity. Since the boat was still sitting in his yard. It was a very rare boat and the picture also had his garage in it... so we know it was the same boat. We knew someone took his boat picture and was trying to sell it in a scam.

Keep vigilant out there.
