You'd be surprised how many people still fall for this. For some reason they get mind blocked by the whole thing. Moneybookers is another one going around. People selling things on craigslist for cheap, but they are abroad. You send them money to their moneybookers account and pick up the item with a full 30 day return period form the moneybookers warehouse. Moneybookers has a website, seems to be legit, like paypal (or as legit as paypal can be). Problem is there is no moneybookers warehouse (In the US) and you have no recourse to get your money back.

There is an entirely "new" class of criminal and one has to be smart when shopping online. And selling online. If anything seems even the least bit fishy ... walk away. Don't ship unless you have been paid via paypal or cash
