| I got some e-mails from some "Moskey Thomas," concerning the Sho-Bud I'm selling, and also mentioning an MSA that's currently for sale. Anybody know who this character is? I deleted his e-mails, and if he's reading this, I hope he doesn't send any more e-mails here. |

Stephen, that is one of the names that is used on the scams that have been discussed. I have received emails with that name as well as others inquiring about items for sale. I always delete them and try to recognize the names prior to opening.
Take care,
Dave |

He's getting around.

| Hey Stephen, I have an MSA currently for sale and I was contacted by a person, they did not give a name but there email was "cityboy". He was asking for "last price" and then said he has a shipping agent. That seems to always be part of the scam, saying there is a shipping agent,the next part is that they are owed money for X amount and if they give you the check can you send the balance and the guitar. I gave him a few choice words. Brian |

| Better not to reply to those scams. They are dangerous criminals, beyond the reach of our laws. You have nothing to gain by interacting with them. |

Yup, I got one from the very same guy, something about "I have an associate who owes me money and he will be happy to pay for (your item for sale)..I replied "All scammers should shrivel up and die", I cant believe how many people with really Bad English reply to classified ads whether here or the local recycler inquiring about big ticket items for sale..Be careful out there as some scammers are somewhat convincing..

Just a reminder, that I am interested in having a look at any scam emails pertaining to items for sale on the SG Forums. Please, first read this complete Thread, on the Forum News, at: http://steelguitarforum.com/Forum13/HTML/001207.html
then forward any scam emails, with the full sender's headers visible, to me. There is an in-depth explanation about how to display and forward email headers, in my Posts, at the above-mentioned location.
