Lets see if I can remember, it was a couple of years ago. The canoe was $1200. and shipping was $4000. and he gave me an extra $1000. to crate it (I’m a cabinet maker, no problem) I was to keep $2200. and give the rest to the transport co. through western union. (I’m thinking ok the scam is on) the check cleared and got the money in cash (I’m thinking what do I half to loose) sent the money through western union and waited for the transport co. to call. About 4 hours later western union called and told me to come back and pick up my money the transfer was a scam. So I did. The next day I checked my bank account and the money was gone! Went to the bank and told them the story, (I already sent the canoe, witch I didn’t) they said the check was a fake and there was nothing they can do about it! So I didn’t loose any money but just a lot of jumping through hoops.
