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.

I messed with this guy for a while. Insisting on all sorts of wazoo conditions on where to pick the gear up, what kind of money to bring. He wasnt too keen on making his "cashiers check" into mercury dimes....

I also got one from him. I didn't bother to reply seeing as the guy registered 3/1/08, never logged on but could send me an email on a reply to a classified.
