It is way widespread. A while ago I was contacted by a similar person to
cash a huge cashier's check and send some to them. It was too good to be
true so I did not respond.


Last week while shopping on ebay and yahoo a person wanted only a cashiers
check or money order or bank transfer. I contacted over 15 of the closed
sales people. Only one was foolish enough to send a money order and got
ripped off. The scammer was using 3 different IDs and the same modus
operandi so I reported him to ebay and yahoo. In two days he was suspended
from both ebay and yahoo. He never once responded to my emails. My last
email said I would be happy to send a money order if he sent me his full
name, social security number, driver's license number and phone number so we
could talk in person.


It takes all kinds of people who are too lazy to work for a living. Amazing.
