[pianotech] Spam, anyone?

[Paul T Williams]

So why don't you confirm the payment is good before shipping the piano...? 
 I wouldn't send anything without knowing the payment is good,  Do you 
think this is something from overseas?.  Did you respond? I never get this 
stuff. Personally, I would never buy any piano on-line without asking a 
fellow tech to look at it. but who knows what this guy is after. But then, 
as you, we know too much! <G>

Did anyone respond to this?  Just curious...

Paul

As a music store owner- this type of mail shows up all the time. The 
person wants you to assume that they want a piano.  They will pay with a 
fradulent credit card and disappear.  There is nothing innocent or poor 
grammar about it. It is usually someone off shore and is always a scam.

The best thing to do with these spam emails that are clearly of criminal 
nature is to go to www.ic3.gov and file a complaint with the FBI

I've received this one too.  Gotta love their babbling sentences with no 
periods or anything.

Some spam is so bizarre that it's smile-worthy.  I'll let the baffling 
nature of his true intent slide, but I am unfortunately going to have to 
report him to the run-on sentence Police.
