Hahaha age, would u really belive brain and cheng? The guys is just trying to give ya a good deal, now ship out ur drums, and wait for ur cash!







btw- you may be waiting a long time...

 

i know but it sounded liek such a good offer. I dont get how this scam would work. I wiatr for them to send me money.

 

they'll send you a money order, then you take it to the bank, then they cash it for you, then you send your **** out, then a few days/weeks later the bank contacts you and says that you're responsible for the fraudulent money order they cashed, and you're out 3 grand and a drum set.

 

ok ADAM this is how it works
they send u a fake cashers check u deposit it
and it seems like to clears then u withdraw the money to pay the guy back
then after a week the casher check bounches and your screwed

 

are any of u intertested in buying them I havent used tehm in so long.

 

and see if u can report that *** wipe
