Qchex attempted ripoff Nationwide

Thomas,

Thank you for providing the update. It's nice to know that we were able to help.

Good luck selling your vehicle to a "real" buyer.

I Called the payee listed on both checks and informed them that I had checks drawn on there accounts. Niether of them had issued the checks and both had no idea of the purchase. Since then I have had 3 more attempts to "purchase my vehicle" in a similar manner.... Due to being the suspisous type and this great site I have saved myself quite a bit of problem...

HI,

You could be out $$$ even if the check clears on both sides. The owner of the checking account can simply sign a fraud report stating they didn't write you the check. With this their bank gives them their money back and reverses the transaction with your bank, and depleting the funds from your account, if necessary putting your account in the negative.

My cking account was hijacked by Qchex. Someone used my husbands name, address, and our cking account to set up a qchex account. They verify nothing. With this 4k was cleared from our checking account and because we had over draft protection, from our savings too.

Thomas,

I know that the thought of having a buyer for your car is enticing, but I urge you to cease all activities for this transaction.

It can take up to 2 weeks for the check to fully clear both your bank, and the bank account the check was written against. It may clear your bank, but will come back returned from the other bank for insufficient funds.

Again, I urge you to cease all actions. If nothing else than to save you the hassle. The Nigerian scam is well known. Some people will even be in email and phone contact for weeks before proceeding with the transaction. However, I guarantee you, it is a complete scam. They will talk to you for months if necessary to get your money.

If you still have the check in your possession, tell your bank it is a fake and let them deal with it.

I have read the information here and will be quite cautious about this. I as stated will be opening a account speecially for this. Since there is a high(90-100%) chance this is a scam I am going to deposit the check I have verified into the account. No money will be sent to the other paries involved til the check has completely cleared(bank managers garantee). At this point and only at this point will I continue with the rest of the transaction. I was ready to terminate this completely but having been given a phone number and contacted the buyer I am a bit more interested to play this out. I understand that this might cost me the fee from the bank. I appriciate your timely response and will post the results as they happen.

Thomas,

Do not, I repeat, DO NOT, send any money, cash any checks, send any paperwork to anyone who is overseas and wants to buy your car. Especially if that someone is in Nigeria.

Almost everthing related by the internet, Nigeria and Qchex is fraud. I can guarantee with 100% certainty that the check you received is fraudulent. Especially if it was for more than the selling price, and they want the difference sent to them via Western Union. That's how they work. And if you wind up shipping your car to them, then you will be out a car, the selling price, and the overage amount sent back to them.

Go back to your bank and tell them the check deposited was fraudulent, and that you are the victim of a scam. Make sure the full funds are still in the account, because the bank will want that money back.

Good luck.

This is a scam. The way it works is, they send you the money, usually way more than what you are selling the car for. Then, they want you to WESTERN UNION the overpayment to their 'shipper'.

Then, the car is picked up from you, and a few days later the bank calls you and says that the check is no good. You are out the money that you sent via Western Union, the car, and have absolutely NO WAY of tracking these pieces of s**t. So, don't even bother depositing the checks, as your bank will charge you bounced check fees for them. They are bad, that is a fact. It is the oldest scam in the book.

As stated I sent a email asking for confirming information. The gentleman was not able to verify much but the check # and the amount. He supplied me with a phone number to reach him(nigeria #). Having spoke with him over the phone, I have decided to deposit the amount in a account set up for this only. This will remove any chance of my bank account being comprimised. I will keep you informed as this unfolds....
