Read it yesterday. Ticked me off

ONLY ACCEPT A FEDERAL FUNDS WIRE TRANSFER!!! It is a electronic chashiers check that can not bounce or be taken back. They cost up to $40 for a bank to process and can not be processed without good funds at the senders end.

Electronic wire transfers can be taken back or bounce!

Federal Funds Wire transfer = Electronic CASH

Electronic Wire transfer = Electronic PERSONAL CHECK

Better yet- deal with trusted people you know and save any worry at all!!
If you selling to a stranger- as stated above fed funds only!

I read the same post in p.com.

Also, here's addt'l info. from Micah:

The name is Herbert Tan. He's apparently resurfacing, going as Bet Tan on facebook and bettan on some forums.

IN MY OPINION, YOU MIGHT WANT TO BEWARE!

Thanks for the info. I have been trying to do my best research about how to accept wires, so this is much appreciated. Dealing with trusted people is the key. It sucks all these scammers are out there- don't get me started...

Is there anyway for a buyer to reverse a Federal Funds Wire transfer? In other words, will the bank be able to tell me that the funds are in my account- and no way they can be transferred back to the buyer? Are there any scams to be aware of concerning Federal Funds Wire transfers?

I HATE reading about these scumbags, but would like to get useful info out there to help others.

Thanks in advance,
Nate
