| When I get similarly written emails inquiring about a vacation rental we rent out in Maryland, I always reply -- please send detailed references. That nips the fakes in the bud. |

That means they can put, say 30 recipients in the BCC and themselves as the primary recipeint and send one email to loads of people and everyone will think they are the only person to receive it, basically they can try to rip loads of people off with minimum effort.... That make sense?

| Want me to explain again? TO: = Everyone can see who the main recipient is which is the address in this line CC: = These people get copys of the email to and their addresses is are visable BC: = Anyone's who address is put in this line can see whose addresses are in the TO: and CC: lines but no one can see whoses address is in this line To they send the email to themselves so it's TO: them and FROM: themselves like how this email is and then they add everyone they want to scam in the BC: line where no one can see the other addresses. Everyone thinks that they are the only person to get the email but they probably sent it to 20 people... That make more sense?

| Its a scam. What they do is send you a money order for an excessive amount. You cash it, and they tell u to send them the left over amount. Then the bank calls you days later once they have finally found the money order is fake. It was on dateline. I was selling something on craigslist once and the tried to do it to me. |
