It is almost fun to deal with someone you are 99% sure is trying to scam you, but you hang on just in case they are legit. Because you want the deal if it's real, and for the potential entertainment value.

I had a very scammy sounding inquiry about photos for a big family reunion. After a half dozen emails back and forth, I finally asked for some specific details to continue the discussion- and that was the end of that. A few weeks later I began to see more similar inquiries that were variants on the same scam. (They wanted to prepay on a credit card and have me pay "other vendors" out of it. Right.)

Requesting a specific photo is a great idea, would weed out a lot of bozos. But a resourceful shyster could still maybe do it. Maybe they have the clarinet, they just have no intention of sending it to you. Or they could find a close enough picture somewhere, or go take a photo of somebody else's horn. Very tough to be scam-proof and get anything done in life.
