Subj: [kl] the scam

The scam Mark warns about in the classified area is alive and well. It
seems so obvious, but I'd hate to think anyone is not aware. From an email
I received this morning:

Since your's is cheaper 200$ together and in good condition,I will use the
difference on the payment to offset shipping charges and other expences,all
u need to do immediately you recieve the cheque is to deduct your payment
and forward the remaining money to the shipping company through western
union money transfer so that they can set the shipping and come down to your
location for the pick up.

The basic idea is they have some reason for sending more than you asked and
you are to forward it to someone else. Now it's seller beware.

Aimee, who's silver sax is still available since I'm not selling to this
scammer
