I currently have a macro lens for sale. I have it listed here on UHH, The Pentax Forum and a local ad agency, much like Craig's List. Today, I got an email from the local company giving me a heads up about a "possible" scammer. Here's the actual response to my ad:

*******************************************

So.... what'd ya' think? Maybe he's related to the Nigerian Prince? What a joke. I needed a good laugh this morning.

This might not be the appropriate place to post this, but I thought you might get a kick out of it.

Caveat Emptor!

Defiantly a scam. They buy the product, have you ship t then the check comes back unfunded. I've been hit by these a couple of times but never fell for them.

The scams are an almost daily occurrence...I get emails about my accounts being suspended when I don't even have an account at the said business...

What scams? why the "Canada Revenue Agency" has sent me an "INTERAC e-Transfer #65638" and all I have to do is identify myself by SS# and give them the bank account number including routing information . What could go wrong? Why I think I should go ahead and order both the 600 f4 and the 800 f5,6 and have them fast shipped.
