Be careful of the dude Emil something. He reached out to me outside of ShareGrid where I have listed two of my Tokina Cinema Vista 35mm and 85mm T1.5's, for sale. He pretend to use his wife's name at first. Then he sent me a check for US$9,560.00 for a listing that I had for US$9,500.00. He misspelled my name on the check. Then he sent me another check for the same amount (always on next day delivery). Both checks were similar and had different companies issuing the check. I took it to my credit union and they were suspicious about the check. They put a hold for 10 business days, which I welcomed. The very next day, he text me about his courier is demanding delivery fees of US$200.00 that I have to pay (which I never agreed to), and send that money to his delivery guy using Apple pay or a gift card or something. He called me several times and had a distinct African accent. Finally, I told him that I'm NOT going to pay ANYTHING until his check clears the bank and hold additional 15 days before I ship my lenses to him.
He went radio silent right after that. I'm going to my bank on this Thursday to let them know what happened.
Please be careful.
Good luck in selling your lenses.
