POLLYROSENTHAL 0 #2 May 28, 2012 A person with the email address said that he is sending money for my rig today. What can you tell about him? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Meso 38 #3 May 29, 2012 Well if someone with that e-mail address contacted you, it is a scammer. They will likely send you a fraudulent cheque, though they have been known to deal with paypal too. Cut all contact with the so-called buyer and don't try to cash their fraudulent cheque and don't give them your paypal details. If it was too late for the latter, contact paypal and explain the situation. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
