Scammers are clever & are always willing to try new ways / methods of conning the gullable out of their hard earned money.

I have had had many scam emails of various sorts in response to wanted & sale ads.

I have never been gullable enough to fall for any of them & i hope none of you genuine people out there do either...

My advise to you is:
If in doubt delete the email, dont waste your time replying.
If the person is genuine they will be intouch by phone & or leave you genuine contact details.

If you are selling, unless you know them personally make sure they pay in cash & check the notes!

If you are buying, never part with any money without meeting the persons & seeing the goods, unless you have some sort of payment protection.
Even well established Ebayer's get scammed.

I think this should be a sticky in all the classified sections
