'Courier" Like FedEx. I had provided a P.O Box and she said her 'courier' couldn't use it.

Good job figuring it out Jim.

FYI...

I got hit by "Glorious Gloria" as well.

$3,500 listing on TUG. Signed Sales Agreement and sent to LT Transfers, who responded back with their closing / transfer fees. Gloria sent me an email yesterday saying she (or he...who knows) wanted to send full payment and the LT Transfers fees to me overnight delivery.

Got a FedEx check today for $9,873.80. Sent email to Gloria confirming check received and amount.

Sure enough, as expected, got this email back...



My (sarcastic) response back...




Total scammer out there surfing TUG listings...

Yep, my hunch was correct, the old Nigerian check scam:

Sounds like classic overpayment scam. Will send you 150-200% of your price, then claim error and ask you to send difference, then "cashier" check will bounce. This is 100% a scam somehow.

But this one doesn't rely on greed quite as directly.
