is quite an amusing reversal, chap selling his mac powerbook on the bay gets some one trying to scam him, so he turns the tables and scams the scammer.

Very good !

Watch out for a scammer called Gavin Moore (moore_g02@yahoo.co.uk)
he has contacted me recently to buy something and then started sending random cheques for large amounts and asking me to cash them and then send him the difference.

Email started off in bad english but now seem to be more fluent.

Keep the email string and forward it to yahoo - at least he has to go through the hassle of setting up another account, and they may even block any account activity from that IP address.
