Scam in the Equipment Department?

Anybody who's posted stuff for sale here get bogus offers to buy? I got an e-mail that looks fishy; the buyer (who is overseas) will have a friend send me a certified money order and then I will in turn send the horn to yet another party.

Step back from the computer. Do not hit the "Enter key". Go read the newspaper. Watch a rerun of the CNN coverage of that St.Louis fire tonight. Keep your hands OFF your wallet. This is not a joke.

If you're selling, don't send your horn anywere untill you get the money. If you're buying, stop wasteing your time with people like that.
