Shown below is a string of emails from what I presume to be a scammer.

How would you respond to this type of inquiry?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks, but no thanks. Too confusing, almost sounds like money laundering. If you want the horn, you can pay me via PayPal. Using the "Send Money" option, send it to me at this email address: ldwoods60@yahoo.com

Or, of course you could simply send me a certified check for the amount of the horn plus estimated shipping and I will gladly ship it to you.

Thanks.,
Happy scamming

Yup that's a scam, I had someone ask to do the same thing when I was selling my F. Besson, I don't remember exactly how it was explained to me, but it is a scam, just report this guy and drop him.

I happen to have a Bach Picc up on ebay right now, so I want to make sure they don't confuse this scam with my auction.

Here is mine, just so y'all know

And I just got an E-mail from John Moore that reads:

Me and another TH poster got an email from this person. His was for a Dinicola puje and mine was for some stork mouthpieces.The really f'd up thing about my email was that he was wanting to buy some stork mouthpieces from me. That would have been fine if I was actually selling them but my ad was a WTB ad not a WTS ad. He kept asking for pictures,which makes me think he wanted to use the pics for an auction to rip people off.
