| Email scams I wasn't really sure where to post this, but I guess here is ok. I know there are so many email scams out there, especially from Nigeria. I am ALWAYS getting emails through my website from people in Nigeria asking to buy my stuff & if I will ship there and if I accept credit cards - which i just delete right away. But has anyone heard of any scams from anywhere else? I ship worldwide and someone from Russia emailed me saying they wanted to buy stuff & requesting their country to be on my ship-to list (apparently it's not automatically included when I set up my order forms). If it wasn't for all the email scams out there, I wouldn't be concerned, but now I don't know what to think of this. Can anyone offer their opinion?

| Twinkie, I haven't had that problem, however a fairly new member of this forum contacted me via pm about buying one of my products. This person told me that they were getting a new puppy soon and were looking for "cute" things. I sent them a pm back telling them that I would gladly email pics and price, well, for some reason I checked their profile and this person has a website with tons of imported items. So what's up with this? |

| I've had a few. Mostly the one that says if you give me your bank account details, I'll transfer a million dollars and you get 25% for your trouble. What a crock!! These scammers should just try applying all that scamming brain power to real jobs, maybe they'd get more money that way.
