Default Re: This guy needs a hand!

Unfortunately, if someone is looking to scam you, they can do it. They will have extra email accounts acting like different people who have bought successfully from the person who claims to be selling the item. Always beware of people who insist on a specific form of payment like Postal Money orders, beware of someone with no form of contact other than a cell phone or unlisted number and beware of someone who is trying to push you to do something too quickly. If it makes you feel uncomfortable, then back out. I was scammed by someone outside of Ebay and he had the knowledge of the cars and multiple accounts and phone numbers to make his scam work. But he pushed it too far and finally got caught. But he has already cashed the postal money orders before I could cancel them. He's in jail, but nobody can find the money he scammed people out of(hundreds of people for thousands of dollars) so nobody is really getting any of their money back. I've had good luck with Ebay, but there are scammers everywhere so don't let down your guard.
