Click here to read more about these kind of scams.

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.

Thank you. I also wanted to report this scam after "adio" contacted me and didn't want to give me any info about where I was sending the jumpsuit he was "interested" in.

I also recieved an email from this clown wanting to buy a reserve canopy from me. I suspected a scam and it looks like I was right. Just wanted to let you guys know that "Adio" is trying to con multiple DZ.com users. When I suggested in a later email that we use Paypal to ensure neither one of us gets ripped off, it scared him off.


Thanks,
Matt

Hi,
Thanks for your response to my ad. to answer your questions. I have owned the canopy for approx. 1
year. I am Selling it because I dont need it. The price is $650 and the buyer pays shipping. The
photo is attached. This Micro Raven 135 Reserve Canopy
is in immaculate condition. It has only been packed twice and has no rides on it. I hope we can do
business.

Thanks,
Matt
