craigs list scam

Before I forget all the details.. I have to document this. Andrew got scammed really bad on Craigslist. He's now out $2500.
Here is how it happened:

I needed to sell his Mark Hoppus bass. I was looking for about $700. I wanted to put it up on Ebay, but Andrew said I won't get what it's worth, so.. he put it up on CraigsList.

Some guy in LA offers 600, but he needed some stuff done and Andrew would get $50 for his 'troubles.'

So the guy sends a check for $2500, Andrew cashes it at his bank, keeps $650, and then was supposed wire transfer the rest of the money via Western Union to this 'moving place' that will pick up the bass from Andrew in LA.

It turned out to be a scam and the check is bad, and Andrew is getting dinged $2500 and probably a fee for cashing a fake check..

His parents are going to kill him. He is over there getting killed right now I'm sure. I feel bad for him. At first, I was mad that Hayden made a huge poop mess and he conveniently got a call from his parents to go over there and I didn't get any help with the mess. Of course I always come second... asdjflksdjklsdjf
