I'll be posting more windups here as they become available. If you receive email from a scammer, please let me know so their name and address can be added to the list. Better yet, see if you can wind them up! Send a transcript of the email exchange and I'll post it.

A common scam directed at sellers involves phony certified checks. The scammer sends a counterfeit check for more than the specified amount, then asks the seller to wire them the difference once the check has been deposited. This scam works because it takes a week or so before the check is discovered to be a fake.
