condition ? Let me know... So I can issue and mail out the payment to you.

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 received the same message from him about my canopy for sale and my rig for sale!

Respect comes with experience, not the size of your gear

Bumping due to recent activity from this user. If you received a message from him, note that he is a scammer. Ignore his e-mails and do not send any items.
