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.

Hey Buddy,

I had the same email from him as well over a canopy i have for sale on here.

After reading your advice i replied along the lines of i was concerned over selling the canopy to someone not qualified to jump it, It's a Velo. So i asked for his jump numbers, canopy progression, DZ and license number, and not heard anything back from him!

Good advice.

Andy
