RE: [RC] [RC] ? classifieds - possible hoax - Whiteaker, SteveActually, it's worse than a hoax. It's a scam. If you fall for it, you lose what you're selling as well as the cost of shipping it to wherever. The bank will cash the check they send you, but when it bounces on the other end, the bank will take the $5000 out of your account.
