I know the rules say don't bump to the top, but, I wanted to post an issue with a transaction that I'm 99.9% sure is a scam, or 0.01%, I'm an idiot:

On the front Strange brake hubs with ceramic bearings, I'm asking $800 shipped in lower 48. I got an email from Mike A. saying I'll give you $900. I email back, and say, I'm only asking $800, and did you mistype the amount to $900. He said that he wanted them shipped special (but in lower 48), so, he was sending $900. I'm thinking he wants overnight shipping to somewhere on the other side of the country from Texas. Whatever.

His area code 415 is California, but, today, I receive a $3650 check on not very fancy looking paper from a Credit Union in Albany, NY, with a USPS tracking # from California, with a label on the envelope from Florida from a guy named George J.

I text him saying he must have mixed up the check for someone else, though, it had my name on it. So, now I'm supposed to send him the parts and the difference in cash back.

Maybe I'm an idiot, but, that sounds like some scam to me to get banking information and cash on a check that will maybe bounce. Anyways, the parts are back without a SALE PENDING on them because I was about to be scammed or I'm off base.

FYI - I can't find his name on any racing forum, NHRA, or IHRA, google about any hot rod / drag racing, etc.
