The following scam has been reported. This username has been disabled. Click here to read more about these kind of scams. Remember: DO NOT do business with anyone who offers to send you payment for a higher amount than your selling price with the understanding that you'll send back the balance. Be suspicious of anyone claiming to be acting on behalf of a "client" or another "customer". Be suspicious of anyone claiming to be from Nigeria or West Africa If you agree to accept a check payment, then do not send anything, gear or "change" before the check cleared. And be careful, if you manage to clear a fraudulent check then you may be liable for the damages if the bank finds out later. Make sure your bank authenticates the check. If it sounds to good to be true, then it probably is. Safe swoops Sangiro -

Now you're confusing me. It's crucial that we unravel this hazy web of deception, this tale of mystery and international espionage. After all of this just tell me, I beg of you my good man, just tell me one thing: Was it now you or your girlfriend who jumped from the Space Shuttle?! Safe swoops Sangiro

The amount of spam you get has very strong relationship to what you do with the email address. For example, use it for 2 days only and subscribe to 2 porn sites with it (not that I think YOU will EVER do that! ) and you will receive about 700 spam messages from day 3. Use it wisely and you will receive almost nothing. Do a search on this. It has been discussed many times. I remember posting a link to an article about research on what will drive up your spam numbers and what not... Safe swoops Sangiro
