Re: Does this look suspect?
If you are not breaking any US laws, and the money is in hand, and you have a reliable source of delivery, go ahead.
I have found from dealing on ebay that the folks from foreign countries are more reliable than the US folks. Just remember to have the cash in hand first and make sure you can track your delivery or that the buyer understands you are not responsible if you cannot track. Just keep a shipping receipt. Some countries have better delivery systems than others.

Jerry,
Go with your gut. Recently I received an english challenged response for an air rifle I listed on Brad's site. It was a friendly message like yours and I responded. No questions about the gun or a request for pics- they just wanted to close the deal. Next step was arranging payment. The individual wanted the rifle ASAP and wanted to make things easy for me so he(she?) offered to wire transfer the money to my account. All he needed was my account info. A big red flag went up for me. The info that he was requesting would allow someone to either complete a wire transfer or clean out my account and assume my identity.
I declined the wire transfer offer and asked for
a USPS money order. I never heard from anyone after that. It is my rule of thumb that if I can't talk to the person I'm dealing with, no deal. DDR

Re: Does this look suspect?
They just used translating software from Italian to English.
You should have sent your reply translated into Italian and they would have thought the same thing :)
Of course you must always get payment no matter where it is from.

Re: Does this look suspect?
Warning: After offering various things for sale here and on other boards, I have been contacted by foreign individuals wanting my item at the opening price with no questions asked.
The ones I've experienced usually: 1) want to send you a check for $5000 and you send the gun and the change, 2) want your account number for direct wire deposit, 3) other various schemes which play to your greed.
These are scams and should be avoided at all costs. Especially anything that requires your bank account number. They will monitor your account until you get a big deposit and drain the entire account.
These are off-shore electronic bandits and you will have no legal recourse. Some of them even have 800 numbers to make them sound "local". If it sounds fishy or too-good-to-be-true, then it is.
Reputable dealers will have no trouble sending you a cashiers check in US dollars in advance of shipment. Remember there is no way for your bank to test a check other than to deposit it and wait.

Re: Does this look suspect?
To my knowledge, there is no way anyone can drain your account by simply knowing your bank account number. Such information is commonly used in electronic funds transfers and obtaining letters of credit. The only way someone could withdraw from your account is if you specifically authorize them to. If some of you are claiming that someone was able to withdraw from your account based solely on knowing your account number, you need to talk to an attorney right NOW; the BANK has made an unauthorized transfer and should be liable for the amount of the transfer and probably any resulting damages you may have suffered due to the unauthorized transfer!

Re: Does this look suspect?
I agree, one cannot withdraw monies from a current account without the express permission of the accountholder (which involves the signing of official bank forms, signatures, etc).
If anyone does manage this (without the necessary authorisation) then you need to ask questions of your bank, or question whether the withdrawals are an inside job.

Contact your local Secret Service office
Strange as it sounds, it is the SS not the FBI who pursue these cases. They will be happy to take the information and do what they can. You may find it hard to find their phone # - they are the SECRET Service (sorry)

Re: Contact your local Secret Service office
Yep, they are real hard to find. Contact info is everywhere. Even your local phone book.
www.secretservice.gov
Not sure why they would be involved. They are the law enforcement arm of the US Treasury Department but I dont see the fit. You would probably get more attention from the Office of the US Attorney General in the DOJ. I doubt that you would even get an eyebrow raised either place since there has been no crime committed. Only a solicitation to sell and an offer to buy.
However they might be interested in you selling guns overseas. LOL! OOPS! Lets not go there...

clarification
Just because you don't see the fit.... I received several solicitations to be fleeced by the "Nigerian scam." The local FBI office directed me to the Secret Service. They are charged with protecting the integrity of the country's money, so I guess that is the connection. If you ask me it looks an awful lot like bank fraud / money laundering.

Also try BICE,...
I would also contact BICE, (Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement- the newly formed conglomerate of INS and Customs agents) The legacy Customs agents have a fraud group that deals with these kinds of matters. Although the letter indicates the buyer is Italian, I would bet a fair amount that it is a Nigerian scam, perhaps based in Italy or using an Italian ISP. It is obvious that the reponses are some type of form letter (After all, who wants to write out "Left handed medium grip Morini 162ei" everytime.) The same letter is probably used for all sorts of merchandise that is for sale in open forum boards, because there is no registration or log in required to respond to the posted email address. Because the scammers bombard a lot of similar "for sale" sites all at once, I'm sure they get a few takers and have some success before closing there operation. I would imagine that even if you showed interest but dragged your feet for more than 30 days, they would simply stop contacting you.
There was a humorous exchange posted on the web several months ago between a would be Nigerian scammer posing as a businessman and his potential victim. In spite of telling the businessman that he was on the run for the grisly murder of his wife and her lover (graphic, yet posed, pictures included,) the scammer alway replied with the usual "I hope you and your family are doing fine." After all, there is no law against a little fun.
Good Luck,
Cricman

Re: clarification
Thanks vasiliy! That sounds better.
Those wiley Nigerians have been doing that scam since the early 80's. When I was in the oil business we got at least one of those solicitations a week.
Now I see them on the internet. Crooks never change, do they?

Re: Does this look suspect?
An ACH withdrawal can be made from a bank account with the bank routing number and the account number. That's how you can pay for many things with an e-check or online payment from your bank account. No forms need to be signed. I don't know how hard it would be for a crim to do that as an individual.
: I agree, one cannot withdraw monies from a current account without the express permission of the accountholder (which involves the signing of official bank forms, signatures, etc).
: If anyone does manage this (without the necessary authorisation) then you need to ask questions of your bank, or question whether the withdrawals are an inside job.
