This one is very interesting...I've pasted an article from the Sunday
Detroit News/Free Press on this very type of scam. Take time to read it. I
would very politely tell the alleged agent where he can go and what he can
do with his bogus cashier's check.
When I first saw Julio's 28d on ebay, I
I've recently listed my Elkhart 8d on Hornplayer.net. This
morning I received this response:
Hello,
I'm interested in making a purchase of your musical
instrument found on the posted ads on www.hornplayer.net
.I'm a broker,based in Italy and I have a client
interested in your musical
The way the scam works is like this: The guy says he'll have a friend or
agent pick up the horn from you (to save expensive international shipping
costs) at the same time the friend or agent will present payment to you
in the form of a certified check drawn on a USA bank. Sounds OK,
right?

Hi, Charles -
Doesn't matter how the guy pays. Just make sure that cleared funds are in
you hands before you ship the horn.

Note, too, that PayPal does not necessarily protect you as a seller in an

, if someone wants to purchase your horn by cheque
only, and offers to get the horn picked up, leave well alone.
