After contacting via email i was asked to remove the item from sell list due to he was going to buy, i guess once he seen the item was removed, he sent another email and this is what it said word for word:

So i am thinking i go to Walmart one stop shop cash check, and send money all from one spot, when i tried to cash check at Walmart the young lady informed me the machine she was running the check through was not reading the check, than she stated everything looks good with the check just not reading, so she suggested to try my Bank due to they have better check readers, so i just deposited the check into my Bank via ATM at Wellsfargo on 26 Jan 2016. That evening i get text from the so called Adkins asking what is the status of the money? which i responded i deposited in my Bank will take a day or so to clear. On 28 Jan 2016 i called my Bank to see what was the status of the check, and they informed me the check was a fake, and they have closed my accounts, and i will not be able to Bank with them for at least seven years, i understand the policy they have in place due to it puts the Bank and myself at risk. I am just thinking God no money was exchanged to the crooks. I learned a good lesson this week, be safe people.

they were selling a used car online for a price to go to be true. I read about the google wallet scam and when I received the invoice instructions they wanted payments using amazon credit cards.

I tried to sell these speakers I have and this guy seemed like he wanted it then he emailed me a whole bunch of lies saying he will send a check but I have to cash it at my bank but he keeps changing the story.

Daniel Leo put uncovered check on my account and withdrawal money before check was clear.

I. paid 3,000 to do three books with them including promotion paying for book review etc. I only made thirty dollars. I feel I got taken. advantage of.

Using car gurus to post a 2005 Ford f250 for sale 3,000. Stating his wife had passed away and needs to sell is currently in training and needs to sell by a certain date and will have it shipped by military shipping company.
