Fraud in the classifieds?

I recently put my 315/70/17s up for sale on the classified board, and got two offers from Africa. They wanted to forward me checks for 1000s over the asking price, and have me ship the tires and the balance to them. Any one heard of this before?

Yup, that and europe, and saudi arabia on my grill that I'm selling. DO NOT SELL OVER SEAS. 99.9% percent of it all is fraud. It's disappointing but not something that is limited to this site.

Please... Please... Please check around on stuff like this...

Not only has this been posted about a half-dozen times, it's been said that it's a HUGE scam. Unfortunately, common sense has to play the deciding role on something of this nature.


--MOVED TO QUESTIONS ABOUT THE SITE (with the other half dozen)--
