Default Glider purchase fraud

Hello Pilots,

I have a sailplane for sale and have listed it on all
the usual sites. I just received an offer (barely
literate) similar to those discussed by and warned
of by the fellow pilots on this site.

It basically offers to pay my full offering price plus
shipping. I am to keep the offering price and then
call the shippers, give them the balance and they pick
up the glider. Then I assume the check bounces.

Does anyone have any advice about what to do about
this? Call the FBI, DA, etc? Does anyone really care?
Thoughts?

Bob
