In Reply to: What kind of a scammy-looking wierdass thing is this? posted by MarkgM on March 20, 2005 at 06:17:29:
It is one of two things.1. They look for expensive items on the net etc. They get your postal address. They burglarize your home, stealing the item and anything else they see. Of course, this happens before any cheque or money order arrives. Of course they can pretend to be anywhere.
2. I'm not sure about this, but possibly in order to wire money in that way, you have to include your bank account number. bingo ...I'm pretty sure its #1; hence the elaborate business about their arranging the shipping. Selling a valuable item in ebay recently (or trying to), three different scammers of this kind emailed me.
