Exposing a scam
If you ever get a message like the below attached, beware it is a scam.. I posted a lens on craigs list for sale and recieved this message. I recognized it as a scam and did not get taken. This is a warning to other. Several things gave it away. First he says he is from the Ukraine but used a Greek yahoo email address, second his IP resolved to Asia Pacific Network where most spam and scams originate, third he says he has a local shipper, and last he wants to pay by cashiers check. This is a classic scam...so beware if you ever get a message like this.. Greetings, My name is mr James,I hail from UKRAINE and i am highly interested in buying your {Vivitar 70-210mm } from you ,I will like you to give me the ASKING price and also scan the pics for me for proper verifycation .
