| Scam Alert
Users of this system have been receiving emails from parties claiming to want to purchase the item with a cashier's check or Money Order. However they then propose to send 3-4x the amount of money requested and ask for the excess to be wired out of your account to theirs. This is supposedly to pay their shipper for shipping the merchandise or some other flimsy excuse. Of course this is a scam as the cashier check they provide is counterfeit but will take awhile to bounce by design. IMPORTANT: EVEN the BANK IT WAS DRAWN ON often can't tell it's not a REAL CHECK so don't trust ANY CASHIER CHECK even if it is drawn on YOUR BANK and your BANK says its ok. Be leery and aware of any transactions you conduct on the internet particularly where you have no recourse such as international funds transfers. As soon as you see the words "Cashier's Check" or "Money Order" in an email you should be on high alert that it's a possible scam as normal people don't run around volunteering to pay by Cashier's Check in the civilized world. Simply delete any emails of this type and don't reply to them at all. Do not give them your phone number or you will be tormented by operator's for the deaf day and night (this part of the scam is used as calls ran thru operators for the deaf can't be traced and further to gain additional pity from you.) They will telephone you at 3 and 4 in the morning so do not give them any real telephone numbers.
