Hm, jeg skjønner at du blir skeptisk. Men nå har jeg ekstremt liten erfaring fra båtsalg så for alt hva jeg vet så er det måten det gjøres på?

Kan du ikke forsøke å google fyren og firmaet hans i første omgang?

Fant noen båtselgetips og hva man bør se opp for. OG der sto scammen ja:

Sitat:

If Your're Selling Your Boat

Here's a common scam that you should be aware of. It goes like this:

• The buyer wants to buy your boat (usually for a client, and he may use broken english).
• He will send you a certified check or money order for (usually thousands of dollars) more than the boat is worth.
• He asks you to give the excess cash to the shipper, who will take his fees and ship the boat.

How do you lose? First of all, certified checks are NOT guaranteed. A counterfeit cashier's check may not be discovered for up to two weeks later. Your bank, however, will honor the check and give you cash on it. When the forgery is discovered, you will be held responsible whatever money was drawn on bogus check.
So, not only do you lose the money, but you have also shipped your boat to a foreign country, and it is very doubtful that you'll either be able to prosecute the con artist or ever recover your boat.
Please refer to the tips above before making any transaction.
If you suspect an offer for your boat may be fraudulent, please report it to us so that we can investigate and/or report it to the proper authorities.
