I have been expanding my Imaginary Diva stores to include postings on Craigslist for my beautiful bags. And wouldnt you know it, I got one of those "I'll send you a check deal" from Amsterdam.
Being a seller on the internet for about three years, you would think that you have seen all there is to see on the variatios of these fishing emails. Well, they just got a whole world smarter. It was not until after the third email back and forth did I realize that this sale was a no go.
So I reported her to Craigslist. They'll probably close down her account. And she'll probably open up another one under another identity.
I really would like to know the probabily figures of this scam working. They must make more money than those panhandlers on the street per hour. There must be some suckers out there that still buy this crap.
