I just responded to a couple of the scanners being
sold on strongsignals.net and the people came back
with I will send you a money order, you cash it
and send me the change type scams.

A word to the wise.

What items did this happen on and what was the users name? Did you let
Rich know this or have you posted about this problem on SS board?

If you were responding as to buying a scanner, why would they be sending
you a money order? This seems backwards!

It's an internet scam. The scammer sends you a MO, which you cash. You keep
a percentage and send the some, then it turns out the MO is fake. From what
the original poster is saying, there are people posting scanners for sale in
order to collect email addresses to send these scams to.
