[urq] reminder about scamsBrett Dikeman brett.dikeman at gmail.comSun Jun 14 12:21:12 PDT 2009
Because apparently there are still people who think that it's perfectly legit when some stranger is willing to give you a check for more than what you're trying to sell an item for, and then ask for some money back (which even if the "buyer" was intending on following through, it's basically money laundering)... THAT IS FRAUD. The goal is to get you to send your (real) money or your bank account information (yes, even a check is enough.) In case you are completely lacking in common sense: http://www.craigslist.org/about/scams http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_fraud One of those is linked off the very first page on the marketplace.
