Re: Take Care with bank transfers.....

Unfortunately bad english is not a reliable way to identify scammers- reccently I was emailed about a clarinet I had for sale by someone with very poor english skills, making obvious and nonsensical gramatical errors. among other things....
"I am wondering, is it for sell still? If it is still for sell, I would be interested to have a look at it"
This, and other things in the email made me so suspicious that I almost just ignored the messages... but the next day contacted someone else in the city that person claimed to be from to see if I could verify it was a real person....
Turned out it was the student of a friend (University level), and english was that persons first language. They turned out to be very nice and honest, and the sale went through with no problems (I hope they are not offended if they somehow end up reading this).
I mention this not to mock that person, but to illustrate that while we must be careful to avoid scams, we must also be careful not to jump to conclusions!
