Re: I might have scam!
Just don’t send the item until funds clear. Check, money order, PayPal, other online payment service etc. There are many trusted payment services today: PayPal, Cahapp, Zelle, just to name a few.
I personally trust the online payment more than a check or money order. |

Sure must be! Dale does seem to want to share details. Maybe his original question could not be answered….”anybody know I guy named…” Oh well… |

Re: I might have scam!
I’ve gotten several scammy things like “John Doe” and if you look deeper into the email address they are foreign. However, some are cleaver enough to setup/hijack email address that look USA

As WC Fields said, "Never smarten up a chump or give a sucker an even break." Then he sold his talking dog to a bartender.
"Being a rip-off jerk is a full-time job." "CAUTION is better than regrets." That's all the wisdom I have for one day, no charge... Chap |

Re: I might have scam!
I like to play along with the phone scammers and waste as much of their time as possible.

I’ve actually found that the scammers hang up on me if they think I’m not for real. I guess if you spend all your time scamming people you get pretty good at identifying the live ones. |
