Strange Situation.....Input Please

[heavybody]

This happened to me and I was told that the check had cleared . When i started to right out a money order for the balance the teller informed me of the South African scam. In my opinion the only way this can work is if the bank is involved. They told me the check had cleared but in a month they could say the check bounced. I still bank at Bof A but there involved.

I think the guy just has a serious jones for some pool. He's been getting by using a dirt patch in his yard, but its not the same thing.

Ship the fokker the table C.O.D.

To be honest he is probably trying to find the Western Union office and figure out how to do the transfer. Assuming ofcourse he is serious.
Western Union isn't exactly common in SA and the offices in Johannesburg are in rather unsafe areas.

I finally hear back from my last email (requesting he use Western Union).

He is full of crap. Western Union has offices in Johannesburg. I used them myself.
