'Because you are a scam artist. You should be taken outside, stripped naked, forced to run through stinging nettles then made to work as a rent boy. Scumbag.'

Also liked the 'you are obviously a scam artist. Now go away and die of diarhoea.'

How do the scams work? Do they ask you to send it before payment is made, or use false card details?

They generaly ask you to use a bogus payment company similarly to paypal. Which was set up yesterday by themselves

If your nervous about selling except cheque only and then once the goods are cleared in your bank then you can dispatch. If a person is serious about wanting the item they wont mind sending a cheque will they

[Eddy Boy]

Both fantastic.

I would not accept a cheque. A cheque can bounce up to six months later and the scammers are starting to learn this.

Stick to Paypal only from a confirmed address then you are covered by Paypal.
