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 username has been disabled. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TbadSeed 0 #3 October 25, 2012 He has contacted me several times too.. Really wanting to put money in my Paypal account... Wonder what would happen if I let him? Doesn't matter, my canopy is sold. Good thing my friend sold it for me, he warned me I'd get scammed trying to sell stuff here."There is no destiny, no fate, that can hinder the firm resolve of a determined soul."

Meso 38 #4 October 25, 2012 In our experience if they're willing to pay through paypal, the payment is made and is fraudulant, so it reflects originally, but is then reversed a few days later. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
