Remember:

• DO NOT do business with anyone who offers to send you payment for a higher amount than your selling price with the understanding that you'll send back the balance.


• Be suspicious of anyone claiming to be acting on behalf of a "client" or another "customer".


• Be suspicious of anyone claiming to be from Nigeria or West Africa


• If you agree to accept a check payment, then do not send anything, gear or "change" before the check cleared. And be careful, if you manage to clear a fraudulent check then you may be liable for the damages if the bank finds out later. Make sure your bank authenticates the check.


• If it sounds to good to be true, then it probably is.

This person just sent me this e-mail in a reply to a FOX canopy I have for sale.
***

As regards payment,this is what i am going to do.I have a
client who is owing me $2,500 i would instruct him to makeout a certified
check/Money Order to you in that amount and as soon as it clears your
bank. you can now deduct your money from it and send me my balance via
western union ,i will be using part of the money to pay for the shipping
and other expenses ..Although the value of the check is more than the
asking price but i think i should be able to trust you with my balance.
So if my terms are acceptable to you,i would like you to give me your
full name,address and phone number so that i can instruct my client to
make out the check to you.
Pls get back to me as soon as you get this mail so that we can round
things up in a timely fashion.
Thanks in this regard
Belinda.
