It's fun. -sc From: James Kerr [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, November 13, 2009 1:50 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: OT: Time estimate needed He put an ad on Craigslist and got the following email. James Thanks for your prompt reply. I actually want to buy your item and make payment as fast as possible but i will appreciate it if we can both deal on transparency and honesty, you know why? In recent time, i bought an item from a seller and after he received my payment, he never ships out the item and i never heard from him again. So i will be very glad if you can render your total co-operation on this transaction. My mode of payment for this item will be through united state money order because, thats the only means of payment i have access to presently and i dont mind offering you Extra$100 provided you can reserve the item for me while i make payment and also, i will wait till the check clear your bank before i arrange for the shipping. As for the shipping, am shipping the item within the United State because am located in Chicago, so shipping will be handled by my shipping company as soon as you verify and confirmed payment, so all i need from you is to know when you will be available at your address so that my shipping company can come and pick up the item. If this sounds good and you are okay with my payment and shipping arrangements, do let me have your full name and address plus your direct phone number as it will be written on the check so that i can forward it to my finance house to prepare it for you to receive it ontime. Your quick respond will highly be appreciated ----- Original Message ----- From: Jonathan Link <mailto:[email protected]> To: NT System Admin Issues <mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Friday, November 13, 2009 11:43 AM Subject: Re: OT: Time estimate needed John, I think you need to carefully consider the nature of this transaction. There are enough unanswered questions, or more to the point questions I don't like the possible answers, which would make me walk away from the transaction. For example, you stated previously, if he presents you with one Office CD, you will ask for multiple keys to install. How will you know if those are actually valid keys, and legally permissible to use on the equipment you have? You indicate he's agreed to your price, you don't indicate how you acquired this business, whether you and he have a personal or professional relationship (based on your emails, it doesn't appear that you do). All this is enough for me to walk away. Sure he's agreed to your price. For $450 he is transferring the risk to you in the event his enterprise is less than legal, he can simply say you did the work and assured him everything was fine. You're then caught in the middle of a he said/he said battle with legal, possible criminal implications.

"I didn't know" may sound good to you, but the courts don't always agree. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
