Re: How to avoid falling for scammers – Typical buyer scam
hahaha, way to make them work for it Deb.
the idea behind these scams is to make sure the money gets transfered back to the scammer in a way that cannot be backed up or insured by a bank. e.g. they give you 5k with a fraudulent check, you give back 3k via wire transfer or other non-bank transfer, scammer gets 3k but by the time the check is ACTUALLY processed you're stuck with a fraudulent check that bounced 5k.
how often has this happened to you? is it really that prevalent within the hobby? i just saw this kind of scam happen to a job seeker who thought they were hired and given money for "supplies".

To me about once a year. Lately there has been several people contacted including some that like me decided to make them work for it and spend some money.

Wow...seriously.
The language use is always what sets me off on these scams. I get emails from MorphMarket that start "I am a local, I have money, I am ready buy, give me your email and phone number. I am ready to deal."
...yeah, sure you are buddy.
Love that he tried the 'you think you can scam me'. Hahaha.

I just honestly don't trust anything that's cashiers checks or the like. I only ever see them used in scams. Pay me up front or no dice, kemosabe.
