Hey has anyone heard of such scammers in London.
Someone named Dapo Smith emailed me telling me that he would pay the asking price and would arrange for delivery to London. May be legit but it's really to good to be true. If anyone has info please let me know.
Thanks
JOey

there have been several scams like this and they send more than your asking and then ask you to cash the check and send them the difference in a money order...only later to find out their check was a fraud....I'd be very careful about this.
