Fake Payments, Watch out your equipment Options

[JPedro]

It's my first topic in macmusic. First of all congratulations to all macmusic's developers. It's a very good site and a usefull work place. Unfortunely some people is not so serious has we wich, so my contribute is my advice to a guy called "peter_white@fastermail.com" who operates in the classifieds zone. He wanted to buy me a JV1080 and send me a fake international check for payment, asking me to give him the difference of that check via Western Union. It's a real good story . He send me a gorgeus check of 7.050€ to pay a simple 650€ and wanted the difference ahahah at this time Interpol is looking for him because i wet to the police tell all the story.
So be carefull macusers....
Best regards to all of you....
