A few members have given us proofs that some scammers are trying to swindle people here. They usually contact sellers of items to propose them some serious material under false identities/nationalities. The mechanism is this one: Mr Scam contacts you, want's to buy your stuff. He has some complicate story upon some money a guy must pay him for some time etc. The third guy will pay for your material and you should send the difference to the buyer. I'm talking about a $700 transaction transforming into a $4000 one! No need to tell in the end, you are short of $3300… A news will be on MM very shortly, I have banned already a few avatars of these guys, if you fell something is fishy with a buyer/seller, be very cautious. Don't accept Western Union for exemple. A short list of do/don't will be available too. In need ask me for counsel here.  These guys don't belong to our musical world

Just banned one more… - No Western Union! - No "too good to be true" (which is in fact  (and if you want another color, i have it - No convoluted mail exchanges - No money sent to Nigeria!!! - Check the location of the guy! Last banned was a supposedly guy from the USA, asking for money transfer to Lagos, Nigeria thru WU, and was in fact physically located in the UK. uh oh…
