Posted at August 27, 2015, 5:19 am: As musicians, you know we have a lot of money invested in our gear. For many of us, buying and selling gear is an ongoing thing. It's for these reasons that we like classified ads, and ebay, etc.... But where there's a will, there's a way, and there's always some dildo out to try to screw people. I wasn't scammed on craigslist, but approached by one,...I thought I'd make a thread here somewhere to just hopefully keep people informed. I flat out told the prospective buyer that his offer sounded like a scam,...and of course this scared him off, and I never heard from him. But here were my clues: he asked is your "item" still for sale, and can you ship to (the next state over/a.k.a.... non-descript location,...no city or zip-code provided) I told him more about the item I was selling, all kinds of info that any prospective buyer would have cared to know, and would have probably mentioned. The next email was saying that he was a soldier in Iraq, and needed to wire the funds to me, and would have to pay me an excess amount, and could I pay his fiance' the difference. (?) I wasn't about to go for that. 1. why any soldier would want to buy a musical instrument 1/2 a world away, while they're fighting a war, is just too sketchy....it wasn't like I was selling something rare. 2. This is the U.S......we have banks here, ....plenty of them. Just be aware of this type of dumb stuff.
