I have some items in the for sale section, but have received an email out of the blue wanting to buy something, It has had scam written all over it from the get go. The only method that these scammers could have used to contact me was my Yahoo ID which I have now removed from my PGi profile.
Below is the email communication I have had, the name Edwin Johnson is on many scam buster websites. (I still think its Lovetone behind it all really)

I have contacted my client for the payment and he had contacted his bank manager for the payment . We would be sending you a cheque,which will be sent to you by this week. You will need to urgently send me your Full Names, Address and telephone number where the cheque will be sent to. As soon as the cheque clears into your account, the shipping will commence.The pick-up will be made by my shipping agent at your home..

so moral of the story, think about what comes into your mailbox, and probe the scammer, it all comes out eventually.
