Members,

      I have seen a good many  posts concerning the activity of scammers and have this to say about that.   Most of the scammers are operating out of the UK or Nigeria.  The most  common scam is, be our agent un the US.  They send money orders to you from  their clients here in the US telling you that US Money orders cannot be cashed  outside of the country and this is true.  They ask you to go to your bank  deposit the money orders, take out 10% send the rest of the money to them.   In all cases the money orders are no good and the local US Post Office has a  little hand held machine that they use to prove they are no good.  The name  of the game is, if you receive funds from anyone claiming anything, make sure  the instrument is good before you do anything else.  You will find that in  l00% of the time it's nothing but an attempt to cheat you out of your  money.  Honest people are the easiest people to cheat because they think  because they are honest, everyone else is too.

I apologize for perpetuating a topic probably  not appropriate to this list, but would encourage all to adopt my policy  concerning these scammers. My policy is turn the tables on'm and hit'm  in the pocketbook, so to speak. It only takes a second to respond to their  emails and say yes send me the money. But they have a considerable  investment of time and money in delivering. If everyone did this, they soon  would have their expenses exceeding their income. Of the  many thousands of dollars of these funny money money orders in my  collection, all are sent by expensive overnight delivery from  the U.S., or at a minimum international postal rate (mostly from UK),  all for about the second it takes me to say yes at no expense whatever to  me, and hardly any more time than it takes to delete the  message.

Robert, I beg to differ ,You can't cheat a honest  man....a honest man is not  looking for something for nothing and  doesn't have the greed factor of trying to get the edge or a real  deal.   most honest people just want what is rightfull  there's..   Thanks,                     Joe N101HD

Except that now your now confirmed email address is probably on every scammers target list, which I'm sure they share will all their scum counterparts and make enough to offset the cost of postage. C'mon guys -- just delete 'em. This scam has been around for years, and will likely continue long after we're all plant food.

For those of you interested in this thread:

  

 I have found an amusing website detailing exactly was is being talked about below.  I am not advocating this website, but just feel that if you are interested in what is being discussed it could be worth-while visiting.

 The website discusses just how an "average Joe" can cause these scammers to waste time and money on someone who knows it's a scam (and thus won't be scammed), so the scammers don't have time to try to sucker someone else in.
