Beware, scammers everywhere

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.  

I was on a fake Costco website it looked real but when I went 5o check out something with payment didn't look right, so I canceled.  I always say buyer beware. 

Here’s one: I list a higher priced item, someone agrees to buy and then sends me a 2k “deposit” via Zelle which I don’t have. When I respond with No and No, he says ok just send the 2k back to me. 
The scam is you send a payment from a stolen credit card number, wash it through someone’s bank and by the time the CC# shows up on the stolen list you already have your clean funds and are gone. 
Went through this last year and Agon did nothing but insist I refund him immediately. They either are slow to understand scams or just don’t care.

Indeed...A sucker born every minute...Or in the USA 77, 200 million + voting suckers 18 and over in age....
