No cashy-cashy. No sendy-sendy. Simple as that. I'd do the same for someone who lived in the same suburb as me that I don't know.
If scammers can convince your bank that they've deposited the money when they haven't then (a) it's the bank's problem and (b) they don't need to be doing little scams when they can scam whole banks. ?
I just feel we must remember that there must be the odd Nigerian out of 175 million who actually pays for stuff. And if it's direct transfer, the scammers will disappear sharpish. No need to work it out.
+1 It's just easy for people to forget the "No Money showing no item shipped" rule in the excitement of the sale.
If no one got caught by these scams they wouldn't be trying them.
