Beware, scammers everywhere

I have purchased 3 items at an online audio site and recently made my first sale.  Not having feedback makes one hesitate and it takes time to get established, particularly if one does not buy/sell alot of items.

Next I will be selling my larger integrated and asking over a grand.  It will be relatively low priced compared with others but still its a chunk that could attract scammers, low ballers, etc. 

I sell media on the A/zon platform and usually have had good experiences with an occasional blip: refunds/returns/undeliverables but there have been a few scams.  I learned my lesson and will not ship to certain individuals, just cancel the order.

Hasn't affected my feedback which indicates they intentionally scammed me.  A few times someone returns a different item than the one received, financially it wasn't worth the trouble but I do report them to A.  

The world we live in.

When I was a Audio dealer Eve way back in 2000 in the U.K at the time I was getting bogus checks from Africa,

I even got burned for $12k after Barclays Bank said it was good , come to find out 

someone working in NY city  copied a wealthy persons credit card # 

it went to Jacarta Indonesia i tod then to stop shipment and send back 

they had a inside man at the hub there who ignored the stop ,myself and hundreds of other $$ pieces of equipment elsewhere , which would be over $20k today.

If they want to do a wire transfer to your ban that is fine , any checks have to be cleared by your bank and verified before shipping Anything.

@audioman58 that is not cool.
