A few members have given us proofs that some scammers are trying to swindle people here. They usually contact sellers of items to propose them some serious material under false identities/nationalities.

The mechanism is this one: Mr Scam contacts you, want's to buy your stuff. He has some complicate story upon some money a guy must pay him for some time etc. The third guy will pay for your material and you should send the difference to the buyer.

I'm talking about a $700 transaction transforming into a $4000 one!

No need to tell in the end, you are short of $3300…

A news will be on MM very shortly, I have banned already a few avatars of these guys, if you fell something is fishy with a buyer/seller, be very cautious. Don't accept Western Union for exemple. A short list of do/don't will be available too.

In need ask me for counsel here. cool.gif
These guys don't belong to our musical world tongue.gif

Hi just found your site very nice smile.gif
I have been getting tons of this kind of scamm and some new kinds lately as
well they say basic same thing in new ones that ship item then give tracking
number to either a service they claim to use or to USPS and really is nothing
but scamms to anyone that sells items online NEVER ever send any item
without first waiting for funds they payed you with to clear and i mean even
paypal i have had peeps pay my paypal and ends up was an account they
the Fake buyer stole and payed with but because i wait was not a problem
when real owner disputed claim i just immediatly gave a 100 percent refund
because i never sent item out in mail yet BIGGEST thing about selling is no
matter what way they the buyer pays wait plenty of time before you mail the
item wait plenty of time before you mail item out again wait plenty of time
before you mail item out and make sure you never mail anything until you
have payment in full and in your hand in your hand in your hand because
just because is in your account whether be bank or some service like paypal
they the bank or the service like paypal can reverse the money it happens
be carefull make sure money is in hand period.
check this one out it all started from some so-called girl in russia her story to
