We have recently received several reports about fraud attemps in the ads section. The crooks usually proceed as follows : You write an ad in the MacMusic ads section to sell a software, a Mac or musical material. You then get an email from a potential buyer who is actually interested in your ad. But this person does not live in your own country and proposes to send you a $4,000 check through a third party. When you get it, you keep the sum that corresponds to the price of the item that you're selling (for example a $500 G4). You are then supposed to send the difference (that is 4,000 - 500 = $3,500) to another person in your country, to whom your buyer owes some money. Of course all this is utter fraud ! Indeed for a few days the check appears as creditor on your bank account but as soon as you check, the operation will be cancelled by your bank. In the meantime you will have sent the check that your bank will debit : your $3,500 and your G4 will be lost.
