Re: OT: on-line sales scam

Mess with them even more. Have the email bounced back to them, heh heh!  

On a Mac, it's simple. if using a separate email program like I do

then it's (shift/command/B) and then hit 'return'.  Viola!  Quick and EZ.  

I do this all the time with *any* spams and scams that come in and / or do not get snagged by one of my spam filters.

If nothing else, it gives me a little satisfaction that I may have 'effed with these scum in some way.

I've got a vintage Fender amp listed for sale on-line and I've run into what I think might be a scam.

Three potential buyers have contacted me about it, each wanting to send me either Traveler's checks or a bank check for twice the asking price. They then want me to send the remainder of the money, minus charges, to their shipping agent, who will then come and pick up the amp.

Has anyone run into this before? It sounds a little weird to me.
