I am getting old and giving advice.... heh heh... sorry.   Just FWIW it seems to me that internet scammers are getting more common and more capable. I just tried to sell furniture on Craig's List in DFW and was instantly contacted by a scammer, they got nothing and I am assisting the people that work to bust this sort of thing. 

Next, I know some of you guys build models, I got pinched for about $70.00 by an outfit called  INTERNETHOBBIES.com and you can google them and see all the other people that have been screwed as well. 

Bottomline is before you do business with a new place, regardless, take a moment and check them out online. We have been spoiled for a lot of years by doing internet business, ordering etc and dealing with honest people... and I think that is really starting to change. 

 

 

In that vein, see my posts toward the bottom of this thread:

If it looks too good to be true... it most likely is.

Oh you mean all those charities and Nigerian princes and African Banks that wants to give me millions are not real? 

The scammers are getting smarter. I am convinced if they put 1/2 as much effort into making a living as they do into scamming they could probably make a decent life for themselves.
