WARNING TO SELLERS Be aware of offers to purchase your kart equipment coming from West Africa and Nigeria in particular. The usual form is that the 'buyer' poses as a kart dealer and requests further information and pictures of the kart being sold. Very soon after an offer is made in which it is usually stated that payment will be made by check. At this point the buyer will usually mention that the amount of the check will be far in excess of the agreed amount for your equipment. As you are an honest and trustworthy person (you are, aren't you?) the buyer will temporarily entrust you with the extra money, but asks you to return the difference to them. Once you receive the check (which looks perfectly valid) you cash it at the bank, wait for it clear and once you have the money in your account you send the agreed balance back to the buyer. They will almost always request that you pay the balance back to them using wire transfer or Western Union Money Transfer - both processes are virtually instant and irreversible. However, several weeks later your bank may contact you to advise that the check was counterfeit and you are required to repay the amount to the bank. The buyer has disappeared (or now operating under another name from a different email address) and you're out of pocket for a lot of money! Remember: If you're approached with an offer like this it's highly likely to be either money laundering or some other illegal proposal. Don't get involved! It's a variation of a worldwide scam and if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is!
