vid666 0 #6 January 4, 2005 being a pretty big ebay seller, I get these daily. I just tell them to go ahead and send the money. After I get it ( usually takes about a month and happens in 50% of the cases) I call my local detective acquaintance at the local PD and hand all the comms and the check over to him. Yes, the scammer is overseas but alot of times their accomplice is in the US. Whether stealing from the bank or just forwarding a phony UPS letter.

WILDBILLAQR 0 #12 January 4, 2005 I don't have anything for sale, but I did recieve this one a few days ago: Hi, I'm a german skydiver, living in Essen, NRW I am searching for a Complete Skydiving System for the next Sesson! I am of 1.84m hight and 86kg of weight. The Main and Reserve should be between 130 and 170 sqft. The DOM should be between '96 and '04. Payment and shipping is not a problem! I hope you can help me! I'm waiting for your mail! Now, I know of a few rigs for sale that fit the 130 to 170 size main, but I don't believe this guy's for real so I told him to contact a gear dealer that would be happy to sell him whatever he want's---------------------------------------------- "Thats not smoke, thats BUCKEYE!!"
