There is a reason we require wire transfers for international customers.

thats the Nigerian Scam thing, 419 .. been around for years. Most of them are actually located in the UK, african nationals .. yep it is all scams, and you can get locked up by local law enforcement when you go cash the check .. fraud .. 2 americans living here got arrested recently for that, a couple old guys ... they probably just didnt know any better ..

as for the other emails, not really spam, I get them also .. i get a huge amount just from forum members .. wanting to buy from me .. in the Bahamas ..!! I have to say no as well, it will cost them 3 times the US price to buy from here ..

tell them to go ahead with the deal. Tell them to send payment via money order or cashiers check. Then tell them that they need to pay for shipping, 9 times out of 10 they will give you a UPS/FEDEX account number. Then when they send you the money, send them a box of rocks from the backyard! Thats what my buddy did, it was pretty funny. The guy threatened to get the authorities involved.
