[QUOTE="Peter Economakis, post: 4594288, member: 111558"]WOW!:eek: I use a prepaid debit card for all online purchases. I ad only what I need. I use to electronic transfer from my bank account but stopped and and got a new debit card. Whether that helps much from being scammed?? I hope so:( I put some things for sale on the local on line adds about 2 years ago. I actually got one of those fake checks for $3400!! saying it was a mistake on their part "on a $200" item. The ones were they want you to put it in your bank account. The person covered his bases well from text's, to emails, to pre paid phone's etc.. I knew it was a scam from day one and did play with the person but in hind sight I really shouldn't of pushed it. The check envelope was from a bakery in Brooklyn NY, and was from a Law firm in PA and the check was from a Florida bank. I did try to tell the authoritys thinking it was the right thing to do but there was really nothing they could do. Still have the check somewhere for the fun of it..[/QUOTE]
