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 got one from this same person. He is not a skydiver, and the type of wording he uses is the same as many other scammers. I even asked him where he jumps, and he avoided the question, and responded with a stupid response about his client in the States paying me with a cashiers check. Here's the e-mail thread.........

Kindly let me know your best offer, so we could move on from there, for me to instruct my Client in the States to issue and mail a Certified Cashiers Check to you in your name.
Have a nice evening :),

Best Regards,
Keiko
