It's so sad that there are evil people that take advantage of everything and anything to hurt others.

The internet is a great tool for good purposes, but its a double-edged sword: as with so many other developments, it is also a good tool for perverts.

You can never be too careful nowadays!

My son was trying to sell some parts of his car on the net and got an email from someone "interested" offering to send a check for a much larger amount than the cost of the parts. The catch is they then ask you to pay for the shipping of the item and wire the difference to a certain account .

Of course, the check is fake and if you're not alert and wire the "difference" you'll be left with nothing but a scam while feeding their account.

Thank God my son replied with a "I'm not sending any parts until the check is cleared". That was the end of it. But many people are not aware of all this going on!
