A word about Scammers

I see many people here accepting money orders from buyers and thinking that it is a safe way to go. Not necessarily!
Recently someone tried to scam me out of a $950 item with a money order. I smelled a rat. Postal authorities and police told me the money order was no good. Doing it through the mail is federal mail fraud. Your bank will cash it and give you the money. But when the money order does not clear, you must pay it back to the bank. Crooks copy bank checks and print up phony money orders all the time.
When you take a money order, always wait for the money order to clear the bank before you turn your goods over to the buyer.
