If it is a real amount of money, the crooks have pretty sophisicated ways of making anything mentioned go bad. They go so far as to get a real postal check, make a good copy of it, send you the good copy, then cash out the real one.

Anyhow this is what I have heard.
As the internet grew, we seemed to accept the bad for the neat convinience of it all, and now it is a playland for the crooks - they have access to millions of people to try to scam for a very very low overhead, so the odds of fraud keep going uo because they can make a good living at it - low cost of business, can get good money if even less than 1% of the people fall for it, and the open nature/ lack of international law enforcement allow it to go mostly unchecked.

It's a double edged sword, and slows down the good real people more than the crooks!

My model "H" even had the old style fronts with plenty of tread. My "L" fronts were mismatched Sears Guardsman snow tires, which I promptly tossed. Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
