I had something similar happen to me, I was actually selling straw bales and I had 4,500 bales and this "person" texted and wanted 2700 bales and was sending a check to me for the amount of $9,000, I was told to take out $7,000 for myself and the rest was for the driver who was going to take all 2700 in 1 load :icon_rolleyes: to a farm in Texas. I was to pay the driver by cashing the check at my local walmart in $100 bills. This person was using an online texting service so you couldn't call the line directly. Yeah, some would call it fun.

I always wonder what the average success rate must be.

Must be more than most think, otherwise they wouldn't still be at it.

Maybe I'll try it myself.
