Not to change the subject exactly, but we recently advertised, in separate postings, a bass, with stand and bag; a bass guitar with small Crate amp; and a loom, on the local newspapers grab bag web (free ads) setup.

We received identical emails, forwarded thru the newsguys, offering to take each of the items and proposing:

They buyer would send us a money order, to include shipping charges.
We would cash the money order, and forward the shipping amounts to the buyer's shipper.
The shipper would pick up the items.

All together now - - - "We KNOW about this SCAM."
