This number was given to me by someone trying to pull a scam with forged cheques. Apparently has happened to a few other people according to a kijiji forum. All were related to "buying" classic cars we were selling. The number, and phony cheque are with the police.
Exact same scenerio and name, but mine was from autotrader. Clams he buys cars in Canada for his clients and ships them overseas to them. Sends overpayment of cheque from Daiter's Creamery and Appetizer in Toronto, which is a fake. Ask to deposit cheque and send overpayment (thousands of dollars) to some place in the UK via Western Union. This scammer is an idiot, makes it so obvious its a scam from the start.
I had the exact same scenario as Mike except the cheque I received was a TD Canada Trust business cheque. The cheque had "DINH Limited" as the business name and was more than double the price we were asking for the vehicle. He went by the name Don Simon and was asking us to forward the difference to a shipping company.
same happen here.send me double the amount and ask to send extra money to UK via western union.
name was don simon. i didnot understand why he spend money on courier to send me a fake cheque????? what he get out of this???
I have just been contacted by the same person. Yes, he makes it so obvious that its a scam, its rather funny and stupid. I even called and spoke to the idiot, he claims it not a scam. Obviously, his checks would never clear, has anybody tried to deposit his sent checks??
