Well, the EBay scammers have moved onto Craig's List. I listed parts locally and received Email response from the U.K. The responder wanted to send me a check for $2000 to cover a $250 bill. The scam is that they wanted me to send the balance which was for shipping charges to a middleman who was supposedly handling the shipping for them. Once I told them that I would only accept the funds for my item and they were to make their own shipping arrangements, the communications ceased.
There are scammers sending bogus cashiers checks and moneyorders for goods or in this case for cash back. Moral of the story, make sure that even cashiers checks and money orders clear before releasing your item these days!
What kind of fool do they take me for? Wait, don't answer that!
