Non-Typical Solutions

Before I continue this saga I want to say that I have sold and continue to sell items on craigslist. I contiue this topic to help inform others and to learn from others as well. So I got a text from an unknown number informing me that my USPS Express package with a check had been shipped, I was supposed to respond to the text letting them know I had recieved the text. I did not repond to the text. Two days later I get a text informing me that the tracking number confirmed that the package was at my post office waiting for me. Guess what........it was there. I talked to the postmaster and was informed that it cost $19.00 for that package to be sent. I was curious and opened the package cause at this point I want to know what the heck is going on. Here is the check............... The mailing address of the sender on the package is: Garry Roberto Goucher College 1021 Dulaney Valley Rd Blatimore, MD 21204 There is a phone number on the package........(209) 281-2039............but I am afraid if I call the number my phone might explode or something wierd. I talked to police office here and was told that if it was for anything less that $100,000.00 they and the FBI would not even investigate. The VOID marks that you see on the check in this picture are very, very, very hard to see when looking at the check in person and we did not even see them until after we scanned the check. Notice the different addresses on the check compared to the mailing address on the package. Also, the amount on the check is $1850.00 more than my asking amount on craigslist. Very strange encounter indeed, I finally texted the number to tell them of the "over payment" and asking who was going to be picking up my car but I have not heard back from them..................

That is pretty much exactly what Garrett told me....it was like.........Uh dad really???? Like I said, good thing you younguns are so wise to the ways of the modern world to keep us old folk outta trouble.... I actually had previously sold 2 other cars but Garrett was the one running the program then and of course everything went smooth as silk. Those fellas musta done an age check on me before they decided to try and scam me......

Best of luck to you and your family on the move and take advantage of the venture.......fresh start, new neighbors and new country......

Good luck on selling your place, great area to live in.............

Glad you younguns have it all figured out.......I finally got my text explaining how the overpayment is to cover the cost of shipping and all my running around................I texted back and told them the check was headed to the shredder after I got in touch. Maybe you young got it all figured guys can thank an old dumb fart for your brightness!!!

Really not interested in cashing the check at this point just sharing the experience sorry if it brought tears of boredom to you at least I didn't post it in the SHed Hunting section!!!

Not going anywhere here......gonna stick it out, this country has promises that one day those sumbags will get their due. Plus I gotta fight for my kids and their kids. If all the good people fly the coop, all that is left is the scum.............if they come to take my guns, i will die fighting for what this country was once and can become again. It is probably gonna get worse before it gets better and I might not live to see that day, but I can't give up........

Can't fix jackass......

I Just put a new Cummins engine in it with a 2 year warranty on the engine. $19,900 Wood Rack.JPG Man, it has been a long time since anybody called me Morty. So what is the package deal?? My wife would kill me.....what kind of gas mileage do you get on that truck? You really putting that truck up for sale?? I gotta get my wifes new rig paid for then I am looking for a truck that will last me the rest of my hunting years.

So there has to be a story for the 4Falls right???

Good luck getting rid of a nice trailer....how about this.... First I need that $60,000.00 Dodge truck with a goose neck hookup. Then I would love to buy that trailer from ya............

DB I just caught this on the news during my lunch break. One way they are going to make cuts.....seriously?? Releasing illegal immigrant prisoners to save money. http://rt.com/usa/ice-immigrant-illegal-prison-495/

Pretty crazy stuff there, I have been paying a little attention to this junk and it just makes me sick......ad trillions to cut a billion...........wouldn't that be nice........I could afford a new car..........

That 60 grain through all the years has shot the best out of my Remington. I have tried all kinds of loads in my gun but that one shoots the best. Maybe not the fastest but best groups.

Thats working on good carma for next year.......looks like you had a fun season....

You remember my 67 Skylark??? http://www.coueswhitetail.com/forums/topic/37477-67-buick-skylark/ I have had some great learning experiences trying to get rid of this old car of mine. Posted it on ebay, after only half a day on ebay I get an email from somebody in Michigan informing me that it is not a 67 Skylark but a 68. Wow, the guy was right, I pulled out the title, sure enough 68. So I get lots of traffic but nobody really serious. I then decide to post it on craigslist. Down in the Phoenix area and up here on the mountain. I start getting texts asking about the car. One guy offers to send me a "USPS Express" check in the mail if I will hold the car for him. All I have to do is text him my address. I am an idiot and text him my mailing address and can never get a response from him after that. I waited 3 days for the "USPS Express" check and decided I had been took somehow some way. Probably going to get mugged by some stranger that I gave my PO box number to. So then I get in touch with another guy who asked about the car but because I was "holding" the car for my Express Check I told him SPF. He tells me to give him my paypal accout and he will make payment to paypal asap. I am a slow learner but told the guy cash in hand at time of vehicle pickup. He insists his only way to pay me is paypal. My son Cole, he said, Dad, probably the same guy working you to get your personal info.....he is probably right. Area code on the first phone number is 510 second one is 323...... Sure is nice to do business with CWT folks. I bought a pair of Swarovskis from CWT member sight unseen(pictures). Put a check in the mail and got my binos PDQ.

I realize this will conjur up many answers but I legitimately am curious. I have googled but gotten so many answers I am not sure what is legit or just people making fun of senate and congress. Where can I find out what the requirements are to be a congressman or senator and how much do they make?

Good info from everybody, thanks for pointing me the right direction. I have sold several items on craigslist just never before encountered the dark side. Thanks again.........

No doubt idiocracy is alive and well in this country right now.......

I definitely don't like vague......too much room for wishy washy interpretation..............most insurance companys are really good at vague and really really fine print...........

I wanted to do a poll on this just because I am curious but did not feel comfortable setting that up. What do you think? AZ bill 2656 would allow schools the option of having trained teachers with weapons on campus. Other states are trying to put similar bills into action. One problem I worry about is 3 day training, is that really enough training? Also, is the gun locker for storage after hours, or is that where the gun is kept in case of emergency? If it is locked up then why have a gun there in the first place? AEA, the teachers union strongly opposes the bill, but I don't belong to any union and rarely have sided on the side of AEA anyway. I am all in favor of being proactive and think there has to be a solution. I volunteered to my boss to go through training the day after the latest school shooting, figured teachers packing was going to be a hot issue as soon as I heard about the shooting.

One thing for sure about laws and Government, if they can write it vague or confusing enough it allows alot of room for interpretation and or application. Interesting info, hope you don't have too many sleepless nights, G$F might hire you to proof read their regs..........
