    OK
    I have some items listed for sale over the internet.
    now tonight was the first time I was contacted by two different people
    a guy a women about two different items
    both wanted to send money orders which didn't matter to me much
    I new something was up because e-mail for e-mail was word for word except for their names.
    now they wanted my address and full name which is something anyone can get from a local telephone book, what good would these two pieces of info do for anyone?
    by the way I only except cash and or would only ship anything after I cashed their checks certified or not. I had a buddy when I was 15 who was making and cashing them at banks so I am hip to cons.

    just wondering any info I Like to hear it.
