this is ------- retarded..

craigslist should block all foreigners ip's make it united states ip's only.

ebay should consider blocking all ip's from countries with that many scammers. most notibly nigeria.

i dont really understand how this kinda of scam works.. why do they send you like $2000 extra in a check, and ask for you to return the rest of the money?

international checks take about 2 weeks to clear but most banks let you withdraw the money right away. so by the time they find out it is fake the scammer is 2k richer and you are out that money
