But I don't see how... Lemme explain...
So I posted my whole comp on craigslist and I got the usual 5 emails f rom scammers. Sometimes for fun I play along to see how they will scam me and cut it off with a nasty email. Anyway, I got the typical "i want to buy this now, i will send yout his much blah blah" but they offered to pay with check and to come pick it up. Still they offered way more than what I was selling it at (the same comp I have been trying to sell here, they sent me a check for 2800). SHipped DHL and the routing stuff was like through Dubai but the check was from someone named yvette in rhode island. Anyway, keeping going with it, I took it to the bank and asked about it. They put a 5 business day hold on it to wait for it to clear because of the concern I expressed. They said if it was a fake then it would just be removed from my account plus a 5 dollar charge. I deposited it and the 5 days have gone by no problem. the hold cleared and now I am concerned to even touch it, you know?
What do you guys think? I mean if it was a fake or a scam it would have been caught in those 5 days, thats why they put the hold on it.
