Jim MadduxI am totally confused. If someone was buying some of your panels and paying you for them why would you be wiring money to somebody else? It totally sucks for you but just kind of confused how this went down.

Tony HarrisHow did the bank say it was good then say no? My bank won't even take cash without me waiting 5 days to check it out. As shitty as it sounds PayPal is the safest and easiest to use. Hope they catch them and get your money back bro.

Frank MagooI use my bank's wire transfer services before shipping.....PayPal has some weird policies, used them once, took 4 months to get my money, less a 8percent deduction for 'their' services....wire transfer puts their money in your account now, no scams, no money? no sale....

Jason ShoflerI just received this kind of "situation"(scam). 1.5k check for a custom wrap. After receiving 3.5k check from sender, sender asked i take my part by cashing at my bank and forward remaining amount to third party...... Lol i told them to give me a direct street address, me and U.S. Marshall would hand deliver it. Received email containing what had to be Asian hieroglyphs cursing my life. Lol scams worldwide and facebook research makes it possible. Sorry for your loss in this bro!

Rosemary HoopsI am so sorry that happened to you. It seems like more and more people have absolutely no ethics and integrity. It has become too easy for scammers to lie, cheat and steal from those that work hard to build a successful life. I hope this gets resolved quickly for you. Is your bank doing anything to help ?

Eric SchrefflerHad it happen except it was the , " I sent some extra for the shipping headache". Didn't even bother trying to cash but did call the bank that the check came from. It was bogus. Everything should normally go through seamlessly. If something looks flakey, stop!

Marcia KingThat's wrong. I want to buy one but until I have the money I can't. Once I do I would send you a cashiers check that is guaranteed on your end so you wouldn't have that problem. People really suck.

Nicole SterettNever do check then wire reimbursement :'(. I get those emails for my work all the time. I once got a request to send me the funds via check and then I pay their shipper to ship my product instead of using my account via FedEx.

Josh Steeleno checks ever! period. squareup.com for card processing, PayPal for international only. I don't budge one bit on those. Too much fraud and I've been there, although when some jackass tried that check shit on me many years ago, I did the due dilligence first and verified the bank was bogus.. So I never deposited it.

Earl ThompsonCommon scam we get on Maui... they seek out art groups and societies, and offer to buy from most of the members. We all were warned. Sorry to hear you got taken bro

Chuck WilsonWas the check for more than the purchase. If yes I took check to wellsfargo to prove it was fake and it was. Big scam on internet now

Tracey RussoHappened to me this year as well. Craigslist scam. I never sent the money but the bank have me cash for the check. So sucky

SanMan SantanaDamn homie. I just got a Dwi and passed 5 field tests breathalyzer and a UA blood test at hospital. Still lost license had to sell my bike to pay for lawyers. On top of all that one of the cops bent my painting hand so bad haven't been able to paint for four days now. "Serve and Protect " I feel ya bro!

Steve StephensSorry to hear that. Seriously look into PayPal & let them do all the work.

Keith NosloThey pulled the old " I'll send you more money and just send the difference.". I hate thieves.

Michelle GaduyonSorry you have to go through this. I hope you can recover your panels and the scammer goes to jail

Chris PulaThat really sucks dude. Any chance of recouping anything????

Phillip MacyAssholes. Remember if you have money in your account a bank will cash a check and if it is bad they take the money from your account so they are not the victim you are. Wait 7 days on a check is a good rule of thumb. That's banking days. Bummer man.

Sanjay RajThis is a old school fraud, a lot on Craigslist. Sorry to hear this man. Hard to find scam artists like this one.

Josh J LampsonHow the Hell does that happen! Does the bank not guarantee your financial security?

Jeremy S. RomainI've been there bro. Had same thing happen. Anytime they say wire balance, stay away. Lol.

Craig Voisinthe minute they say wire transfer .... i say goodbye NO DEAL
