Chris Shank: >Yes, I've been warned from my vendor that this is most likely a scam. >They will either use a stolen credit card or ask for my bank number to >"wire" funds. They haven't done either yet - so the saga continues. The easy solution if they want to wire funds is to set up an account just for wiring funds to, and then transferring the funds to a regular account. Just inform them that the funds have to clear first and it will take however many business days your bank requires to post funds from a transfer. Most banks with an interest in legal commerce can deal with this problem for you easily. Credit cards however are a difficult thing to police indeed and they cost you money with the risk that a transaction can be placed on hold at a minimum. Personally I'ld hope they were legit but wait until I had the cash on hand before counting on it. Like your vendor said most likely a scam, but I remember ordering 10 computers once for a group of hobby computerists. The store selling just could not believe it was a real order at first and we had a certified check to give. _________________________________________________________________________ Philadelphia Linux Users Group -- http://www.phillylinux.org Announcements - http://lists.netisland.net/mailman/listinfo/plug-announce General Discussion -- http://lists.netisland.net/mailman/listinfo/plug
