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. cool.gif
These guys don't belong to our musical world tongue.gif

Well, I searched, if this guy is around, it's not under this identity. Post here ONLY scammers using MacMusic or 440Forums PM or secure email (they don't have your email until you answer), or classifieds, and if available, give us their login here. I won't details the tools I use for obvious reasons but I need some material to work on… and sometimes I fail…

Scammers are banned on the spot by either me or Babaille, in charge of the classifieds.
