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.

got that one too... how's that work?? how do they scam you? just curiosity...

They send you money orders, e.g. via Western Union. They pay way more than the agreed price, later claiming some kind of mistake. Then they want you to reimburse the difference. If you do so you got ripped off because you soon will notice that the money order bounced

Hey, I got one, too.
I thought, this username is disabled. How come she can contact us sellers?

In the end, I said it's sold, I got a reply

I got the same email, word for word.
I insisted she send the money through Pay Pal and I never heard from her again.
