Selling Your Boat ?

We heard from Doug in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida who was selling his boat. He says when he ran a newspaper ad she was swarmed by scammers. He says "The basic scam is they want me to cash a large money order, deduct a payment for my boat, then send them the rest. When all is said and done the money order is, of course, no good."

Whether selling a dog, a boat or a piece of furniture you'll likely get a similar come-on.

In the e-mail the first red flag to this scam is a buyer willing to pay for something sight unseen. Secondly, wanting to pay by money order through a third party.

Be warned if you do cash a money order and it turns out to be no good the bank will hold you accountable for paying the money back.
