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.

He sent me a Money order for way more than the value i asked for. I obviously know its a scam. How should i proceed. Any advise. Send it back? do nothing?

Do nothing works, alternatively you can go to the bank or police and report it.

Same gut tried to buy a used alti from me. I asked for $100 and I would ship it. He sent me a fake Postal Money Order for $850 and said he will have a shipping service pick it up...that makes no sense to me?
