Thanks 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.This username has been disabled.Safe swoops Sangiro Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The general condition is very good, I took excellent care of my gear, never packed outside, I stood up just about every landing, I am including a brand new pilotchute as the original was not as positive as I like. The Cypres I bought new with the container and it's in for it's 4 year and batteries right now. Final price depends on where you can pick it up or where I have to ship to. Where are you located and do you have travel plans soon? Also, what is your weight, skydiving experience and current gear? thanks Sam PS - you can call me on >From: smithjean777@yahoo.com >To: >Subject: Dropzone.com Classifieds - Response to your Ad >Date: 12 Nov 2005 13:54:18 -0000 > >Hi Sam, > >On 12-Nov-2005 someone submitted their contact information in response to >your ad in the Dropzone.com Classifieds.
