Scammers

We are receiving too many offers from Scammers in Europe, Carribean, and especially Africa. They always want to use Paypal and some use Western Union & Money Gram. They send you a fake offer from these companies and insist you ship your items for sale ASAP. Paypal is not safe since the sender can cancel at any time. Mostly from Craigslist ads but can be from anywhere. Do not respond to any of these crooks-report it to the authorities right away. Also, they used to send out counterfeit Bank checkes made on a computer, but now it is just easier to make fake offers online.Some will say you win a Lottery and need to send a deposit thru Western Union to hold it for you. A lot of these rascals use Gmail, Hotmail and Yahoo accounts so be careful-if it sounds to good to be true, it usually is. They also use telephone calls to harass you(calling several times daily)and pressure you into sending money-don't do it-be Safe!
