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

skron 0 #3 June 9, 2008 I am glad I saw this alert! He sent me another email yesterday saying I could take my ad down because he would be sending out payment today. But what is he trying to do? Does he send out bad checks and hope you'll send out the gear before you figure it out? These are the emails I received from him. ----- Original Message ---- Hi Sarah Kron, On 4-Jun-2008 someone submitted their contact information in response to your ad in the Dropzone.com Classifieds.
